In The Flow

Just another Saturday with friends, this man was thinking. He’d just head home like normal. Enter I-40 west uneventfully in Albuquerque at Juan Tabo Boulevard. Then he noticed a car at Louisiana Boulevard making a strange turn onto the freeway. It was like the person driving was confused and didn’t want to exit on Louisiana. The car turned directly into oncoming traffic. The car cut across lanes of traffic going in the opposite direction. The man heading right toward this car saw a likely scenario unfold, and he knew that if he didn’t take evasive action, his vehicle would T-bone the other car on the driver’s side.

Being in the flow, clarity defined the situation and what needed to be done. He needed to slam on his brakes while swerving into the left lane to keep from crashing into the other car. And so he did, avoiding what would surely have been a tragic accident. This man is truly grateful for being in the flow.
