He almost got me
I was taking my morning ride up Mt. Lemon and as I was starting up the mountain I came to the very first curve to the right and suddenly down-bound is this Mitsubishi Eclipse who had to be going roughly 60 miles an hour. I think his seeing me the last second prevented him from cutting the corner and as he stayed in his lane he went off the right side of the road, overcorrected, came back across the center line behind me. He again overcorrected and went into the wall of the mountain and flipped over. Gas is flowing and the damned engine was so hot it was still popping even though it was off. Oh Sh*t! Got the drivers door open and there were only two occupants and both were conscious and able to crawl out. By that time another vehicle on the way up had stopped and called 911. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
