Then, all of a sudden, I heard the roar of a car engine. A car was racing down a nearby street and then the screech car tires echoed throughout the town. “That was close, probably on the main street parallel to me”, I thought. The squeal of sliding tires kept on going and going, for what seemed like a lifetime. Then, I heard the car crash and followed by only the eerie sound of crickets in the night. Still in work mode from a long day on the job, I decided to go check it out. Driving to the nearest entrance I poked the hood of my car around the corner to see if I could spot the accident.

Her insurance company paid her out for the totaled vehicle as well. I learned this all from her personally a few weeks later. She was fined for the street sign that she struck and destroyed. She has claimed on social media that she had not had a drink since that
