Thankful that the car was moving slowly, Finn Lewis managed to brace himself against the driver’s seat backrest due to the inertia, thus preventing himself from slamming into the steering wheel. Reeling from the shock, he saw that the windshield, which was intact only moments ago, had been transformed into a resemblance of a gargantuan spider web.
No wonder Fishy Wells had been scared; even if Finn had been driving, he wouldn’t have fared much better. He parked the car, opened the door to look around, and then stepped out from the back. Fishy also got out from the passenger’s side. Once he got out, Finn saw that Fishy had hit an Alpha Martin SUV that was in front of them.
Both cars had stopped. Looking at the windshield transformed into a spiderweb and the dent on the hood, Finn found himself speechless. The workers repairing the bridge above them must have knocked something off the scaffolding, which had crashed onto the car below, his car.
Or one could say, whoever was beneath the bridge at that moment would bear the brunt of this bad luck. The road was already heavily congested, with cars creeping along at a snail’s pace. Once the car driven by him and Fishy had been hit, it immediately caused a standstill.
The drivers of several cars behind them also got out of their cars. Originally, because of the road construction, two lanes had been reduced to one, and now even the only lane was blocked.
Looking around with no idea who was to blame, Finn could only wait for the approaching traffic police to handle the situation.
The driver of the Alpha Martin was a man in his thirties, and there was also a woman in her twenties in the passenger seat. The man said nothing when he got out of the car, but the woman immediately shouted, “How do you drive?”
The man quickly pulled the woman aside and whispered, “Why scream?” This man was originally unhappy. How could anyone be happy when their car is rear-ended out of the blue, especially when it’s a newly purchased vehicle?
However, when he saw the car that hit him, he didn’t say another word. Good heavens! His car might cost around 200,000, but it was nothing compared to the Ice Horse behind. Even the wheel of that high-end car would’ve cost more than his entire car.
Moreover, he figured out that it was not really the fault of the driver of the car behind. They were all moving, and the driver’s foot must’ve been on the accelerator when suddenly, something fell from the sky and shattered the windshield. Naturally startled by this, the driver would have reflexively stepped on the gas, causing the reckless driving.
“Sorry about this, bro.” The man then grinned apologetically and spoke to Finn who looked up, then shook his head. No one could be in a good mood after such an accident, so he knew that it was understandable if someone lost his temper for a bit.
“It’s fine.” Finn replied with a shake of his head. He originally planned to have a meal with Kay Lee, but an accident had occurred out of the blue. He wondered what time it would be by the time things were dealt with.
Seven or eight private cars had stopped behind them, and plenty of people had gathered on the not-too-distant sidewalk.
Harvey Clarke, who was directing traffic, heard the dull sound from the other end and knew that an accident had occurred. He was helpless because this was the peak traffic period, and bridge construction was underway. If an accident occurred and was not promptly handled, it could lead to a severe traffic jam.
Looking up, sure enough, two cars had stopped under the tens-of-meters distance bridge hole, likely due to a rear-end collision. Harvey immediately called a few colleagues over his walkie-talkie and quickly walked over.
By the time Harvey arrived, a crowd had already assembled. Seeing the affected vehicles, he was left speechless.
Who was this unlucky person? This wasn’t just unlucky, it was like a string of bad luck strung together! Looking at the Ice Horse car with the windshield turned into a spider web and the front hood bearing several large and small indentations, Harvey was rendered speechless.
Seeing a tool bag and a set of pliers and wrenches fallen on the ground, Harvey knew it must be the workers repairing a scaffolding above. But there must have been dozens of cars in the entire lane, why this one? Wasn’t it looking for trouble to wait for this particular car to pass by to drop something?
“Oh my… this is a big deal.”
“Yes, indeed. I wonder who caused this to fall from above, it’s so unlucky. Even if it fell five or six seconds earlier, it would’ve hit that Alpha Martin, which would cost over 200,000 at best, but why this one? This car… wow, it’s an Ice Horse. While I’m not sure about its configuration, it must have cost at least 6 million, right?”
“This is real bad luck because it seems that the Ice Horse also hit the car in front due to this wrench incident. In this case of rear-ending, isn’t the responsibility going to be on him? This is killing two birds with one stone.” “Shouldn’t this be the responsibility of the construction party?
“Dream on. Construction party? The construction party wouldn’t care if you’re dead, who else could be blamed for this carelessness.”
Harvey was rather helpless, hearing the discussion around him. Everyone knew whose fault this was without even looking. However, Harvey still had to follow the rules. After saluting at Finn, and the owner of the Alpha Martin, he asked,
“Is everyone alright?”
“We’re fine, just a bit of a scare.” Finn shook his head and replied, helplessly.
“Hey, whoever it is up there, come down! An accident has happened, come down and handle it. Sir, you should call your 4s dealership and the insurance company. To clear up the mess soon, else, this road will remain chaotic for quite some time.” Harvey first yelled up at the bridge, then turned to Finn.
“I’ve already called them, the insurance company said they’ll be here in ten minutes,” Fishy said immediately.
Meanwhile, two more traffic police officers arrived. One of them was about the same age as Harvey, and the other one was older. Upon seeing the scene, they were both left speechless.
The older officer asked helplessly, ‘What happened?”
“The construction workers above accidentally dropped a tool bag, which hit the windshield and front hood. The driver of the Ice Horse car must have been scared and stepped on the gas, causing them to rear-end the Alpha Martin in front. The accident did not seem very severe though.” Harvey gave the rundown, somewhat helplessly.
“Really? How accurate could it be?” The younger officer couldn’t help but interject.
“This…” The elder officer, hearing this, was left speechless. Instinctively, he looked behind Finn’s car to take in the scene. There was a Karry SUV behind Finn’s car, and a Volkswagen behind that. In front of Finn’s car was an Alpha Martin SUV. Seeing the cars lined up, he couldn’t help but feel confused.. This was so unlucky that to find the most expensive car to hit among all the cars?!
