Wreck in Austin - 11-07-2008, 11:45 PM


Here are some of the shots of a wreck that I was able to see from my office window (the first two shots were taken while I was pulling into work, the rest is from the window).
The truck probably swerved when that sedan (you can see it in the last photo) collided with it. There are steel ropes in the median that prevent cars from running onto oncoming traffic when these things happen. Apparently (as you can see from bent poles that hold those ropes) it worked even in the case of this truck. The truck driver was taken away in an ambulance, but I haven't heard anything on the news, so I assume that everything went without major health consequences.

Not really a PJ from close up, all were taken with 70-200 from far away...

Get closer and for any photojournalism work provide API standard captions.
