I was going to go to band practice tonight...

But now I'm not because a guy driving up the road has had a stroke or heart attack or something, floored it and crashed into an oncoming car right outside my house. Emergency crew everywhere, two totally wrecked cars at the end of our drive. It looked like the guy had died - a passer by and my neighbour had him out on the pavement doing CPR. bloody horrible. They were working on him in the back of the ambulance for ten minutes before it sped off, so I guess there was hope. So if you thought you were having a bad day... It wasn't THAT bad.

Rereading this it could come across like I'm complaining my evening was ruined. I'm not, I'm just shocked that it could happen right outside my door! I've got my fingers crossed for the poor bugger

To be fair though, that is pretty annoying.

that's a grim thing to witness.

It happened to my Dad about five years ago, few days in intensive car, few weeks in a ward, fitted an ICD (Implanted Cardiac Defibrillator) and he's doing good

Scary though!

Good to hear there can be a good outcome! I'm doing the dishes and having a tidy up. So if nothing else, I'll get brownie points from lady Cirrus.
