No way to start a holiday

An SUV laid upside down in the middle of the highway. Its top was crushed. Clothes and trash were strewn along the roadside for maybe one hundred feet. No other damaged vehicles were in sight. The state troopers had the highway blocked just a few feet from the wreck and detoured all of us commuters onto the exit ramp. The fire department was on scene but not working. The medics arrived a few minutes later. They weren't in any hurry. I could feel death before I saw the responders. I don't know if anyone actually died or if I just imagined it.
