Can't trust people on 5 northbound in the right to actually make a right by Willow. The hill doesn't help matters either.

Trust? People use that in traffic?

Accidents keep piling up. I guess it has become something we accept as part of the risk. Last Thursday on 235 I was headed North bound in the St. James area. A car came head on in my lane. I got out of the way barely in time. Most people don't survive head ons. Later on and in to the evening on the way home, I observed at least ten vehicles going across the white line and on to the shoulder and back. A guy was driving down the shoulder instead of the road. He eventually came back on the road. Everywhere you turn, you hear on the radio, on line News, the Enterprise and the County Times and even every now and then the Washington D.C. TV stations about a single vehicle that went off of the road in Southern Maryland and hit a tree, a car or a house. Usually folks do not survive these type of accidents.

On Friday I was coming up to Willows Road and Rt. 5. Rt. 5 was closed completely. Traffic was detoured on to Willows Road. One of cars I saw, there was nothing left of it. Just jagged pieces of metal.

You might have seen the castoffs from the EMS cutting people free. I saw the passenger side of the car as it had just been pulled onto the flatbed. It was mostly intact. I imagine the drivers side would have been cut almost all away.

Could be. Although what I saw was all jagged metal. I would think the part of the car cut out, it would be a direct line and not jagged.

I think most would agree that the EMTs are more concerned about getting the injured individuals out, not about keeping the car pretty.

Depends on the tool used. Using the jaws to open stuff up enough to get the cutters access leaves torn stuff.
