Twenty years ago I am in my car sitting at a redlight at Crowchild and Shaganappi intersection.
Light turns green and I can proceed east/north on Shaganappi. A split second passes and out of the corner of my right eye an 18 Wheeler Tractor/Trailer moving at full speed blows through the red light going north/west on Crowchild.
All vehicle traffic came to a halt thankfully as this ass hat blew through a ten second old red-light.
Out of the other corner of my left eye I see a guy on a mountain bike riding across the intersection, perfectly in the path of the redlight runner.
Guy on the mountain bike gets hit hard, think Ferland in the playoffs hitting Canucks players then times that by a thousand. After about 25 feet the guy on the bike goes under the Tractor/Trailor and is dragged for a half mile before coming to a stop.
Mountain bike resembled scrap metal better than scrap metal did.
Lying in the middle of Crowchild Trail, lifeless remains of what's left of the mountain bike rider.
Opposite side of the road of me was a cop car that witnessed the whole mess. All traffic is stopped, and stunned. We all just witnessed a very violent death, a horrendous scene, something you will never forget.
Police officer turns on the lights of his cruiser, and then his siren.
What I witnessed next was insane/crazy.
When the police cruiser turned on his siren it was like an alarm clock went off.
That bloodied mess of human remains without a word of a lie stood up instantly like nothing had happened.
My first thoughts? Being a fan of shows like the walking dead, dawn of the dead, night of the living dead, guys gotta be a zombie now, only way to explain this. Much more plausible than getting hit by a Semi driving 80kph+ and living.
Police officers were there in a heartbeat and literally had to run and stop the mountain bike rider from beating the snot out of the semi driver ( or eating his brains ). Cops are saying sir, please calm down, you were just hit by an 18 wheeler.
I still get shivers today thinking about the incident. I have seen multiple fatalities in my life. This was by far the worst looking of them all. When the mountain bike rider stood up I almost pooped my pants. You do not survive getting hit by a semi on a mountain bike!!!
Do I believe in miracles? Acts of God? I am still waiting for confirmation the guy is not a zombie.
I have seen alot of crazy in my life. This by far was the craziest. If this had been caught on film 100 million or more youtube hits guaranteed.
P.S. Sorry if I came across as racist towards Zombies. They are people too. Not all of them are brain eaters, some are cops on TV shows. I embrace all races and religions.
