The noise scared my lizard something frightful!

Everyone was okay and no one was badly injured. Except for a patch of my lilies. But they’re pretty resilient.

      They were definitely on grass.

      Texting and driving, I think. Please do not check/use your phone while driving!

      I believe they ran a stop sign, hit someone else, & proceeded to drive frantically up the curb. I’m very fortunate they stopped short of my home!

        I regard being on the phone while driving, as practically being “under influence”. I mean there are some surprisingly similar symptoms…

        And indeed, a good thing they stopped before hitting your place.

        Speaking for a friend, they crashed the Mini Clubman S I love… sorry, THEY loved very much because of a WhatsApp that just arrived. Some one five cars ahead or so had to slam their brakes - eyes on the street would have made the reaction time “just enough” but even looking away for one second caused the crash.

        Learn from my err friend, don’t look at your phone while driving, even for a very short time.

        Damage on the Mini was more than its worth at the time. No one was injured, but even what looks like a small fender bender can quickly get very expensive nowadays.
