I just took my father to the airport.
Because my sleep schedule has been so messed up, it just made sense for me to do taxi duty.
On the way down to LAX, traffic was super light (because it's freaking 5am). We hopped on the 10 West, 405 South, exited Century, all that good stuff. On the way back, I got back onto the 405 North - but got distracted by a bunch of flashing lights. As I emerged onto the freeway, I saw maybe 7 or 8 fire trucks, all flashing super bright, and about 4 or 5 Highway Patrol cars flashing their lights as well. Then I saw about 3 ambulances making their way towards the sight. According to SigAlert, it looks like it was a collision. If my dad and I had left maybe 10 minutes later than we did, we would've have either been stuck in the traffic due to Highway Patrol stopping everything, or we would've been in the accident. Thank God we left when we did.
Then on the 10 East, a car drifted into my lane and almost hit me.
Shit.
Driving at 5am is not a good thing. Well, nothing at 5am is never a good thing [unless it is either sleep or McDonald's breakfast].
