A Day of Wreckoning.

On a rainy afternoon, in downtown Santa Barbara the hustle and bustle of city life was well under way. Reggie Smith was racing to take his twins, Alice and Leo Smith, home to his wife. Smith was looking to get onto the 101 when on the corner of Carrillo and Chapala Smith slammed into an MTD bus. Smith’s Ford Explorer was badly damaged in the crash, while the Bus seemed relatively unharmed. After the Crash Smith seemed shaken, but was very glad to get out of the accident unharmed, and even more thankful to see his children walk out of the wreck with no visible injuries. Smith would go onto recall that he pulled up behind a school bus he wasn’t sure if the light was red or green, but it could have been red. Smith hadn’t been in an accident for some six years when he was driving drunk and struck a fence.
