No one would even think about writing this.  It's just too preposterous.  No matter where you live, every city/town has those places that are just magnets for accidents.  Personally, I got caught by one in Waxhaw in January when a woman blew thru her stop sign-unable to see me coming, apparently-and wrecked my truck (hopefully, I'll get it back soon!  Don't ask, too painful <g>).    Anyway, KTLA-TV in Los Angeles was reporting about a previous collision in an intersection when the unthinkable occurred.

Unbelievable right?  TV is doing a live report on accidents, when another happens-almost on cue.  Further, it becomes a hit-and-run situation.  My first impulse, since it's in LA, would be to look for movie cameras to see if this was some sort of production.  No, it was real.  If you are wondering, the passengers in car left at the scene were unharmed.  The fleeing car (and its driver) have yet to be caught.  How crazy is this?!
