Moving Truck Madness

As I was driving home from work today, I heard the traffic report on the radio. The dee jay reported that there was a moving truck driving the wrong way down the road near Rancho and Lake Mead. Oddly, I was headed exactly for Rancho and Lake Mead. I wondered if I should just pull over or try an alternate route; I mean, which wrong way was the moving truck going? Was he taking people out in his path? Just before the intersection in question, there was an accident; several cops were there, but I didn't see a moving truck. I still assumed that it must have been a result of the moving truck situation. So I kept driving, figuring that I was out of danger. Then I saw the flashing lights ahead of me again. As I got closer I saw a huge semi of a moving truck, crashed on the side of the road. It appeared to have been heading into an apartment complex. It ran over the curb, and it looked like it went into a tree also. Rather than driving by the mess in the death lane--the truck pretty much took out all the west bound lane of Lake Mead--I decided to bypass the whole thing on another road. Of course, I ran into another accident there anyway. Some days, I guess you can't win, but at least I didn't have to dodge the out of control moving truck after all.
