And they say France has the highest number of accidents..... I wonder why?

So April and I have been wondering how long it would be before we saw a car accident here, since they all drive like CRAZY!!! Anyways, it finally happened, and it happened loudly and clearly outside of our building at 9am today. April describes the noise: "It sounded like a giant piece of metal falling from the sky and smashing into a million pieces on the ground." Case in point - LOUD.

Turns out there was a baby in the backseat of one of the vehicles that started crying (obviously), but the mom jumped out the car and grabbed the babe. Thankfully no one was hurt badly. The ambulance DID indeed come and take one of the drivers away, but I am sure they were okay - probably just shocked from it all.

Also, I didn't realize how rude drivers are here - trying to drive around the accident in every single way possible. Swerving around every which way, even cutting off the ambulance, just so that they can get where they need to go. For how relaxed they are about everything in this city, they are always stressed and rushed when driving. No wonder France's drivers are the worst in Europe!

Vive la France!
