Accident on the 101

I saw an accident on 101S this evening around 5:15. There was a girl walking around what looked like her silver Cooper. I hope everything was alright it didn't look good in my mirror.

101S - What state? I know of a girl who owns a mini with a white top.


Hope it wasn't her.

I am sorry about the accident, but perhaps you shoul've posted this in one of the Regional Forums that this applies to. Hope the girl and the car is OK.

The front end was smashed in pretty good, I was just passing by so I didn't really see. Hopefully everyone is alright though. I dunno if the owner is on here or not.

I was out taking pictures around there last night we didn't see it. The way you said "the 101" I assumed you were in SoCal.

it's so funny that us socal-ers preface their freeways with "the", and hardly any other place they do. My local freeways:

The 8
The 125
The 94
The 5
The 15
The 67



edit: not to take away from the accident...I did not see it, but I do hope everyone was alright!

We saw a multi car accident on CA Hwy-17 southbound on Saturday. A dark silver Mini was at the front of the line of cars, CHP cruisers, tow truck, and multiple angry people. The Mini didn't look damaged from the angle I had.

Who cares. The real issue is whether your car really is adorned with all that checker and why your gallery is empty. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????
