The news report was a lot more dramatic than what I saw on the video.
She did make kind of a big deal about the top rail on that cyclone fence, didn't she? OMG, it could have killed him (if it had been thicker, and pointing directly at the driver, and had actually gone through the windshield, and the car had gone another four feet, and....). I quit watching News4 more than 20 years ago because I couldn't stand the way they emoted the news instead of reporting it.

Well, that and the danger of seeing Mike Morgan...gives me the shivers just thinking about that...

probably ran a red light and pissed the other guy off.
I have never in my lifetime seen so many people running red lights as I do now, it's crazy!

Red lights? You mean a Tulsa Green?

It's rare to be able to go when the light turns green, especially if the cross traffic had a left turn arrow, because if there's any cross traffic at all, there will still be cars going through the intersection. And you'd best be careful if you try to stop on a stale yellow, because you just might get rear ended...

In Tulsa I follow this rule when driving : When the Light Turns Green that means to look both directions at least 2 times before proceeding thru the intersection otherwise you may get clobbered by a vehicle running the red light.

It's crazy that the road is the starting point for so many fights and incidents. I'm always amazed by all the "entitled" drivers who are in such a hurry and think the laws don't apply to them. Luckily no one was hurt, especially those living there and not involved.

I'm equally amazed at all of the distracted drivers out there who think the rest of us should just deal with them not paying attention and wait for them to finish that text . . .
