Meeting Rush Hour Head On

This post takes place last Wednesday during the heavy snow storm it was about 5 pm and vehicle were everywhere. We receive a call about a two car pile up from the police department and quickly headed out. We had no clue how severe the accident was as we rarely do. As we heading to the scene we saw flashing lights coming down the road it was a fire truck heading in the same direction we were. At this point and time my stomach started turning inside out I had no clue how bad this wreck was going to be. By the time we made it to the scene the whole valley was flashing with lights. There was about 4 cop cars, 1 first responder, and two fire trucks and our two to trucks. I don't believe I have ever saw so many flashing lights or emergency vehicles in one spot. The road was completely blocked off and even we had to wait a minute or two to even be allowed to get the vehicles. As we made our way up the hill I soon realized what the problem was two vehicles had met head on, one going up the hill one coming down. We asked if everyone was ok, and they all were the vehicles were wreck fairly bad but we soon had cleared them out. Traffic was building up and we quickly headed home. I still to this day cannot figure out why so many emergency vehicle were on scene for this accident. The important part is everyone was ok and they will all get to enjoy Christmas this year with their families.
