On the Santa Monica freeway today heading out to SF, I witnessed an accident in the lane right to the left of me as I was passing them – a large sedan rear-ended a Ford Excursion, which in turn ran into one of those Ford Explorer or Cadillac Escalade combo pickup/SUVs. No one was hurt, but the vehicles each crunched a bit like tinfoil. A side of me was compelled to watch, and reminded me of the fragile and fleeting feeling of security, and the perpetuating SUV safety myth.
