^^^ gamma it was Fairfax and Wilshire. I've had plenty of accidents in my life in cars and bikes, but for some reason this was seemed way different.

I think it has to do with the fact that I had the green for more than 10 to 15 seconds when I entered the intersection. Then this moron or should I say, just plain crazy, dude runs a full on red and heads into the intersection at something like 60 + mph. Now I've seen people who run red lights and all, but I've never seen anything like this. It was like this guy wanted to die. He came on so fast I never even took the foot off my accelerator pedal. Luckily for me, I had just eased off the gas just a split second before.

Thanks poorman, it did put things into perspective. Like I said, I've had my share of close calls in my life, but this was just senseless. If I had been killed I'd have come back to haunt some sh1t for that.
