Mercury Cougar Wrecked I-93 North of Boston, Massachusetts


My Story: I was traveling I-93 in the south bound lane in mid-day bumper to bumper traffic back in April 2002. It was an unseasonably humid day and there were several cars that had overheated. I was about 5 miles north of Boston at a point in the road where (from left to right) there is a commuter lane, a median, and three lanes for regular traffic. I was driving a 1995 Mercury Cougar in the lane to the immediate right of the median when the car stalled. I tried several attempts to start the vehicle but had no luck. I looked for a way to move the vehicle off the road but I was right up against the median. I turned on the four way flashers and called a tow truck. The towing service stated they would be there within an hour.

While waiting, traffic cleared and began resuming at its normal pace of 55-65 mph. My Dad, who was in the passenger side, and I, were getting nervous at the sight of fast moving traffic operated by Massachusetts drivers, so we exited the vehicle. I raised the hood of the vehicle and we stood about 100 yards behind the vehicle. After about a half hour, an Ambulance came barreling down the road in the lane I had broken down in, at what I would estimate at 60 MPH. There were no cars in front of the Ambulance so we had a crystal clear view of it. The Ambulance remained in that lane and struck my vehicle. My car did a 360 degree spin into the right lane and the ambulance flipped onto its side. We were about 100 yards away and saw the whole thing as clear as day. The big kicker is that I didn't see brake lights on the Ambulance nor any attempt to swerve. The other big kicker is that the ambulance was transporting 2 victims from a pretty serious accident that occurred about forty minutes prior. When the 24 year old woman driving the vehicle was pulled out of the Ambulance, I overheard her say, the car didn't even have its hazard lights on...

That was a crazy day

Mike
