No joke. I come across this stuff all the time (for some reason). One summer I came across 3 accidents, as they happened, on I-70 to St. Louis. I still carry some of my Medic gear just for that purpose.

The severe weather I stumble upon would be enough (I tracked and reported this tornado on my way to Sioux City, and came across the scene in the article header). I didn't know it was a camp until I got to the hotel later that night.

Anyway, there are no lights in this mall setup, just clogged entrances and exits, with inside main roads that lead to some big-box chain parking lots and smaller lots in an inner-circle with a square of more shops. Everyone thinks they have the right-of-way. It's generally chaos.

The Suburban driver had the right of way. She acted as fast as she could, but that's a lot of momentum to get stopped and the SMART driver just pulled right out. It was brand new too (ouch). But a safe purchase nonetheless.

If I'm going to be doing this live dash-cam streaming gig, I'm going to need some sponsors
