So .... I'm driving into Ottawa about 07:40 this am.

Roads are in pretty bad shape after about 15cm of snow being dumped in the latter part of yesterday. Ploughed, but still have the post storm treacherous feel about them. They are quiet ... early Saturday morning quiet.

I pull onto the highway near the end of the on ramp with no problems as there is only one car coming along on the highway, about 200m behind me in the fast lane. Just as I enter the highway I notice in my rear view mirror a 4 x 4 speeding (and I mean speeding even for normal conditions) down the on ramp towards the highway.

As I said the traffic was quiet and he had plenty of room to enter on the entrance lane but decides to cut across at speed directly onto the passing lane and rams the car already there sending both of them into a 360 and into the recessed area dividing the 2 highways. The car in the passing lane simply had no place to go (unless you consider driving directly off the road an option). Miraculously, neither of the vehicles rolls but (I'm guessing) there is probably significant bodily and vehicular damage.

By the time I've processed all this I'm about 500m down the road and given the conditions and distance along with that the hard shoulder is a bus lane I decide it is too dangerous to stop and call 911 to report the incident.

My question is ... will the cops follow up with me for a statement or is it up to me to initiate contact? The 911 lady took name and number. It's just that IMO it is such a clear cut black and white incident regarding that it was the totally irresponsible and reckless driving of the 4 x 4 that basically took the other poor driver out and I have no qualms about saying that. Frankly, this kind of recklessness that endangers the lives of others RGMG.

Thoughts and advice appreciated.
