What is the craziest thing you have ever seen while driving down the highway?

[smitty03]

During the summers I work for a road striping company, as you may imagine I have seen many many things:

While in Virginia, we spotted what looked like a homeless man laying in the median. We drove by again, he was in a body bag and there was a crime scene.

In Southern Ohio, we were working on SR 33. We had the high speed lane closed with a moving construction zone. Guy was not paying attention weaving in and out of lanes and ended up hitting and and going under a fully loaded nurse truck. I was the first to be on the scene, life flight landed right on the highway, and jaws of life had to tear apart his whole car to get him out.

In Virginia (again), we were on a small windy state route picking up cones with the foreman's truck following us and 3 cars following us at 15 mph. While picking up a cone I heard a loud crash and looked back and saw a minivan going atleast 70 mph who had hit a car, crossed lanes and was riding on the guard rail. Van came back right at me, narrowly missed me and ended up totaling the foreman truck. (This is where it gets good) As I approached the van, I was surprised to see a women weighing well over 300 lbs naked stuck between her front seats. Turns out the women was mentally retarded, and had to be drugged to stop her from wrestling the police and medics while naked.

This isnt too weird, but made me do a double take and say "huh?". I was driving back from school, goin down 315, and no where near an exit or anything and saw some guys pushing a full sized couch down the shoulder of the interstate (it was the type that has little wheels on the bottom). haha, not as crazy as lots of these other stories, but just seemed REALLY random.

Nothing to get concerned about. He was just headed to Ohio State for a couch burning party and it was probably BYOC (bring your own couch).

You took the words right out of my mouth. Great post.

After a concert in Cincy, some friends and I are getting on I-75 by Vine Street when this car comes from the side of the road before the on ramp.
Nothing big, but we just happen to be behind this rather large fella and his "friend".
It was late in the evening and all you can see is the Silhouette of this guy and what had to be a "woman of the night", when the street lamps are above them, and so, like an illuminated flip book, There's her head, now it's gone, there's her head and now it's gone, etc.....
We now are following this rare sighting when we decide we have had enough around Middletown to get some late night breakfast food over at the Sunshine Cafe, problem is, appearently this guy had the same idea, (can't blame him, I always like pancakes after paying for sex.)
It musy have been the on-ramp toward middletown that he noticed he was being watched, freaked out started swerving all over the road and made a quick U-turn with his friend bouncing in the passanger side.
He zooms off in the opposite direction and we move on to Sunshine.
I had French Toast.

I would not type a lie this long :)

I now work in finance, but I used to drive a truck out of college (locally) for a logistics company that would sometimes send us to Indianapolis or Pittsburgh and back on a one-day excursion. After a long trip from Indy (10 hours including the drive and work at the terminal), almost back to our home terminal off of Roberts Road, I begin exiting from the freeway on the ramp. As I take one final look down (in the summer time there are plenty of sights from a tall truck), I am staring at a woman's goods glaring through the passenger window of a car. Apparently, she felt the need to be a good girlfriend/wife and service her husband on the way home from work during rush hour. In addition, she felt the need to become absolutely naked and let me (among others) check out the peach. Meanwhile, her husband, being the nice doctor he was, felt obligated to give her an OBGYN test to make sure she was in good health for the drive home. That was an interesting day to say the least.

A few weeks later, on the way home from a rare overnight trip to Pittsburgh, I (again) glance down in the car next to me hoping for more free porn. Apparently, and unfortunately, a guy felt the need to relieve some stress on the way to work and liked to make sure that people knew he was going to be stress-free soon. While "beating the dog" the guy ducks his head to see if I glanced down as he passed me. Never came closer to throwing up without throwing up in my life.

Finally, I decided to work OT on a Saturday morning and take a quick trip out east for the same company. It's a Buckeye home game, about 10:30 am, and a hot but pleasant day early in the season. As I was heading back west towards CBus, I encountered a couple of female Buckeye fans heading the same direction for an afternoon of tailgating. Suddenly, the passenger got the urge to show a random truck driver how smart she was. So she lifted her shirt and showed me her cans as her car sped by. After seeing the Buckeye ballcap I was wearing and feeling obligated to "give something back" to the Buckeye community, they decided to slow down and escort me for a few miles further with her funbags flapping in the wind. She was attractive, I must say, so I didn't mind in the least. Well, she must have told her friend, the driver, how much fun she was having as her friend tried to show me her IQ too. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell how good looking she was due to the height of the truck, but after pulling her shirt up too she proved she was fairly intelligent. In an effort for safety, we decided we had some good times while it lasted and decided to part ways. I wonder how many other Buckeye faithful got to see those great fans that day.

Driving home from a nightclub one evening(4 AM to be exact) in San Fran. Pull around the corner toward the onramp and right across the street to our right (and in front of us) is a car on fire. Looks like a body slumped over in the front, but can't really tell, the thing is just a fireball from front to back. Flames leaping 4-5 feet up above the level of the top of the car.

Had to have just happened, no one was there, no emergency response yet. Pulled in to the gas station across the intersection to call the cops and saw someone doing that already. At the same time we also see a cop pull leisurely across the opposite intersection (in front, directionally of the car on fire), disappear down the street, no lights, no siren....5 seconds later we hear the siren pop on and can hear the car screech.

Funny thing was, we were close enough, even before we saw it to have been able to hear a "whump" or something, to have caused this car to be as large of a fireball as it was. At 4 AM in the nightclub area of San Fran you can hear sounds echo for blocks. And if it was a body inside in the front, the person was either disabled somehow or it was too quick.

There is a gas station and a freeway on ramp right at the corner there, and if it was a slow start fire.....wouldn't someone have noticed? It would have had to have burned for a good long time for an accidental fire to get as engulfing as this was, or some kind of explosive action needed to happen, which we hadn't heard. Strange.
