… but that’s what happened Friday night when a ConFire wagon crew noticed that the driver of a Prius was having some difficulty navigating southbound I680. The Bus paced the Prius at about 20 mph as it made it’s way onto westbound Highway 24 and the medics called for police to help with a traffic break while they pulled up alongside the hybrid as the driver attempted a 3-point turn – in the middle of Highway 24.
That didn’t go so well and the First Responder-types seized the moment to contact the driver, who was of advanced age and apparently having difficulties with life in the fast lane. The motorist was cooperative and sweet, charming her rescuers, and we believe she was given a ride to the hospital for a checkup.
So, good job to all. Remember, kids, it’s important to respect your elders – you could find yourself making u-turns on the highway someday.
Hell, I’m pulling over people all the time in my car………….just kidding.
Only called into WCPD and CHP twice this week to attend to idiots on the road.
