Nothing like being awakened in the middle of the night by screeching tires and crunching metal. Some fool 15 yr old kid missed Ruby by about two feet around 3:20 this morning claiming he swerved to miss something that ran across the street in front of him. He started skidding about 30 feet before Ruby, traveled another 75 feet getting sideways, jumped the curb on the opposite side of the street taking out a mailbox, slid across a driveway and did another 60+ feet doing another 180 degrees in the neighbor's yard. Had to be going a whole lot faster than the 45 (in a 25) he claimed he was doing. Kid only had his temporary license and two other kids in the car who both took off.
Edited to add pictures. You can see the skid marks at the top of the page. Ruby was parked on the street just beyond the driveway in the second picture; tires marks start right about where the seam is across the road just before the driveway. He ended up against the red/purple tree in the third photo.
