I am walking on freeway 26 near the zoo, on the downhill side, at an onramp. Something is happening on the freeway. People have stopped their cars and are looking distantly down the hill. Suddenly a car comes skidding backward up the freeway, in the wrong direction, pressed against the median, wrecked. One woman is standing at the median watching, and she hurries out of the way. A large object like a mini refrigerator comes flying at us, hurtled way up into the sky, and I duck behind the short cement wall that borders the freeway.

Suddenly there is screaming on the uphill side of the freeway, close behind us. A woman is screaming in shock, horror and disbelief, at the top of her lungs. I peek up from my crouching position near the wall. First I see what appears to be a blood-soaked corpse, but after a moment I notice that the person is still alive, though probably not much so, and crawling bloodily and mindlessly, stretching toward a parked car.

The screaming continues; she's yelling "No, Angie, my god, no", and I see the screamer. She's clutching at the feet and pantlegs of someone who is standing, and at first seems uninjured. But then I see her face - her mouth gapes open with a string of blood dripping from it, and her eyes are rolled back in their sockets. The screaming continues.
