Photo Friday....on Wednesday
20 October 2004 - 10:00 pm You may recall the Photo Friday deal from a while back. Here is....well...it's actually last week's challenge, but I didn't get around to it until today. (You might actually have seen this pic already if you've looked at my Key West Trip photos.) It's the Unexpected challenge. You can check out the others' entries at the Photo Friday page. I happen to be number 352, sequentially speaking. Here's my entry (or click here for the actual entry page):
This shot was taken on our way back from Key West on a weekend trip. We were about 2 miles from actual site, but luckily we had carried our bikes with us, so I jumped on one and rode up to see the above scene. A truck had lost control while attempting to avoid a car stopped at the top of the bridge. The cab remained on the bridge but, as you can see, the trailer jumped the railing and hung precariously over the side and over the water. Originally, the trailer's only contact with the bridge was by the wheels (hanging by the wheels), but as you can see rescue workers secured and hauled it up little by little. The accident occurred at 5:00am and we continued to be in stand still traffic at 1:00pm. There is only one road on and off the Keys and this mishap stopped it in both directions until well after 2:00pm. Luckily, no one was injured, but it took quite a while to get things cleared up.
