Yesterday didn’t go as planned for my wife and I. We were coming up to Edmonton to go to the Folk Festival and got stopped because of an accident on the way. We sat there for about 6 hours. We listened to the whole Jays game on the radio, and that was after we were there for more than an hour after that.
We were unlucky (but not nearly as unlucky as the people in the accident). People were driving past it, but they stopped the car two in front of us because the air ambulance was coming and wanted a clear landing spot. It didn’t come for half an hour. We could have gone past.
But a young girl was taken by helicopter to hospital (they had to cut her out of the car). Several people went by ground ambulance. And one woman was declared dead at the site.
The cars were already stopped because of another accident, but a driver wasn’t paying attention and didn’t see them stopped.
Anyway, by the time we got to Edmonton it was too late to go to the Folk Fest. But we’ll spend the day there today.
