The man in the picture being pulled from the car works across the hall from me. Well, today he is in the hospital, some broken bones, I think some surgery pending.
Note the description of the car he was driving.
Corpus Christi Fire Department removed this unidentified man from his Dodge Neon after it was involved in a two-car accident around 7 a.m. Wednesday at Rodd Field Road, one block south of SPID. Rescue workers had to cut the top off after he was pinned behind the steering wheel from the impact of a Mitsubishi Montero Sport.
If you look carefully at the photo, you will notice that he was driving his Porsche (The logo is at the bottom center - right of the page on the crumpled hood of the car, just left of the last fireman's elbow.) He was hit on the road I usually take to work, at about the time I was on the road today. This A.M., I took an alternate route to work in order pick up some Bold coffee at the Krispy Kreme a mile west of where he had the accident. Saved by a caffeine addiction? I treat myself to coffee "out" once a week, the other days I make it in the kitchen.
There but for dumb luck went I, (rumor has it the Montero ran the light) with my crumpled Saturn described as a late model T-Bird, or some such "accurate" reportage.
Life's a funny old thing, but the news media -- particularly the CC Fishwrapper -- is in the "so awful it is comical" class regarding how they treat simple things like
Facts.
Details.
This story is from the same newspaper that broke the VP Cheney shotgun incident a few months ago. Quality journalism . . . is still a goal.

PS: Oh Irony, thy name is Caller Times. Down the left margin, 2/3 down the page, is the latest editorial from one of our local historians named Murphy Givens. (It came out in Sunday's paper, print edition)
The title?
Are Corpus Christi's drivers that bad? Yes
