I've seen a lot of car accidents in my life - some of them quite horrific - but normally only 1 or 2 vehicles are involved. So it was quite interesting for me to see a 5-car collision along Edsa one Sunday afternoon. I'm not sure how it happened since traffic was certainly not bad that day. I guess maybe everyone was going a bit too fast and as driver in the car in front put on the brakes, the drivers of the 4 cars behind him weren't able to react quickly enough and ended up bumping into the car in front. I saw some very irate people outside their vehicles involved in what seemed to be a heated argument. Wouldn't have expected anything less.
A few days later, I was at an intersection with a vehicle on my right. As we waited for the light to turn green, I heard screeching tires, followed by a loud hit. I look over to my right and I was surprised to see another vehicle hit the one on my right. It also just happened to be one of those that had a door at the back, and the damage looked pretty bad so I'm guessing the back door would now be jammed and would require some significant repairs. Once again, I don't know how this happened. I was just happy that it was the vehicle on my right that got hit and not me. Especially since my last trip to the casa wasn't all that good.
