Well, here it is. The first blog entry of this blog. Or diary, depending on how I wanna look at it. My life is boring, so it'll probably not be updated that much. On Thursday, July 30, 2026, I witnessed the aftermath of a particularly horrific car accident. My father and I were on our way to the grocery store when we discovered that the road was blocked by a portly man with a handlebar moustache in an orange truck, holding a sign that said "DETOUR." Behind him, though, was no kidding at least 20 emergency vehicles piled up on the road in front of him. But, weirdly enough, no sirens.

After our detour, we eventually made it to the grocery store and it started raining. It's actually been raining a lot here in the area, I'm not really sure why. But it would rain on and off. When we walked out of the store, I saw a beautiful rainbow, the most vibrant rainbow I've ever seen in a long time. On the way home, we stopped for ice cream. My father got a banana split, and I got a vanilla milkshake and some mozzarella sticks. My mozarella sticks were somewhat cold in the center, unfortunately. After that, we were able to return onto the road where they had stopped us, and that's where our worst fears were confirmed.

Brutal car accident

There were tire marks lined up and down the road, and then they just stopped. You could see and smell the blood on the road, though they tried to cover it up with dirt, it still wasn't enough. It was morbid, it was sad, even without knowing the details. I knew there was more to the story, so I tried to remember to look it up on our local newspaper. Eventually, though, our fears came true.

The crash happened just after 8pm on the █████ ████ ██ ██████ ████████, just north of █████████ ████.
According to the State Police at ██████████, a █████████ ██████ driven by ██████ █████, 19, of ██████████, lost control in a left-hand corner and crossed the center line into the path of an oncoming tractor trailer.
The sedan was struck by the truck.
Five people — all teens or young adults — were in the ██████ at the time of the crash.
The front-right passenger, identified by troopers as ██████████ █████, 18, of ██████████, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three others had serious injuries, including █████, a 17-year-old boy, and a 16-year-old boy, all from ██████████e. A 14-year-old boy from ████ ██████ had minor injuries, troopers said.
