Letting Other Senses Drive

I was going to go to Tam​'s today to pick up the kids. This was around 4 pm. I started out on 32, decided to make a stop, and took out tri-county to 62. I was going to pick up 32 when I got back to it, because tri-county had ice. But I dislike 32 during the day, because of trucks and traffic, and was considering taking tri-county on into Mt Orab.
I decided I would let the traffic decide for me.
However, once there, I crossed to the center and then noticed heavy traffic coming at me. I told Tracy I should have turned.
I thought I heard a siren coming up behind me, but it must have been on 32, the radio, or my imagination.

Coming out of Sardinia, a Brown County sheriff went screaming past Heading into Sardinia,)

Coming into Mt Orab, there came a fire truck/rescue vehicle heading at us. I said to Tracy nthere must have been an accident around Sardinia, and wondered why Mt Orab was responding.

As I made the turn onto 68, here was a Ohio State Highway Patrol​ car, lights and sirens. I made my turn wide -- heavy traffic at the light at that time of day. The OSHP turned onto tri-county.
I told Tracy that maybe it was on a backroad off tri-county, because it didn't make sense that if it was on 32 they were all taking tri-county.

On the way home,  again decided to take tri-county at the last minute, but extra cautiously, because I knew something was going on along through there somehow. Even though we had frittered away some time,
if it was that bad, it would still be happening.

We heard on the radio that there was an accident that had 32 completely closed at 32 & Sardinia Mowrystown Rd, and air care was en route.  Past Steiman & tri-county, we could smell the accident.


To top that off, I just found out that my sister was the near victim of an accident way up on 125.

It was a good day to let the other senses do the driving.

(And eventually three helicopters were flown in to fly out accident victims -- of a two car crash. One car looked as if its top had been sheared off. That's all I know for now.)
