C3 involved in accident..
Just drove home from Costco in Brandon/FL when I saw that there was an accident on the on-ramp towards I-75 north.. Appears that the C3 didn't get hit but got off the road into the grass..

There was a long trail of the C3 in the grass.. Ground is very soft due to record rainfall.. I'm sure that the undercarriage of the C3 got full of dirt but better than body damage..
The driver of the C3 appeared to be a woman.. she was sitting in the car..

I did the throat swallow and the achy breaky heart thing, not the 68,
But it's all ok! Phew!
That had to be a real "thrill ride". There's NO traction on wet grass. That probably ended as good as it could.

That's what it looked like.. I arrived there when the state trooper was already at the scene, so probably a few minutes after it happened. I saw a long trail of tire marks in the grass...
