We had a lot of time to talk to each other.  2-1/2 hours waiting for tow trucks and the 
police. The police never showed.  There were only 2 troopers working for all of the 
County, and they had 13 accidents holding.  The driver admitted that he was looking to 
the right, anticipating switching lanes.  When he looked up, it was too late.

He skated on the ticket, but he was a retired Navy vet and we each thanked each other 
for their service before leaving the scene.
