Not sure if anyone else took 495 south back after the event, but it was a mess and I was almost a part of it!

This little honda prelude merged right without looking in his mirror i would assume. I was in the lane to the left of him. Tire rubbed up against a van and he ripped the wheel back to the left crossing 4 lanes and slamming into the wall. The piece of his car managed to sprinkle all over my car.

All I can say is ....wow, I am glad I am ok. The driver was walking around so i figured he was ok. I just drove forward to the sound of crunching glass under my wheels. Dont know if thats what I was suppose to do.

The car was some multi-colored honda prelude with a coffee can muffler...

Anyone else see it?

Hey guys,

Thanks for coming to the show. As soon as the photogs get their pics up, I'll let you know. Still in PJs and totally beat from the show...

Glad everyone made it home safe despite the snafu on 495.

Take care,
LilRed
