On my way to work this morning the guy in front of me drove through a fence. He was going too fast around a curve after a enough rain had fallen to make the road slightly wet and he slid sideways across a concrete median and took out a light pole, a sign, a large cactus and the fence. I stopped to help the uninjured guy and another bystander helped me clear the (very heavy) light pole and pieces of cactus from the road.
I see a lot of smashed fences and signs on the side of the road in San Antonio and I've always assumed they were drunken accidents. I guess people are just lousy drivers. (That's the driver of the wrecked car in my photo.)
