:38:02
Besides, Tommy had not been drinking.
He had his license.
:38:06
There was no disagreement
as to who among them should be the driver.
:38:10
And, brothers being brothers,
:38:13
Timmy sat beside him in the passenger seat.
:38:18
And as for the parents,
:38:20
Ted and Marion... sat in the backseat.
:38:28
Ted and Marion
began to quarrel...
:38:31
about the best route
back to the hotel.
:38:35
There was gonna have to be a left turn
no matter how Tommy did it.
:38:39
So, Tommy moves into the center lane.
:38:43
lt's, um, a turning lane.
lt's not a passing lane.
:38:46
He puts on his blinker,
:38:49
not knowing that both lights
are covered with wet, sticky snow...
:38:54
that his father failed to clear off
at the same time his father...
:38:58
failed to clear off the rear window.
:39:03
Any cars coming up from behind Tommy's car
can't see the directional signals or...
:39:09
the brake lights or the tail lights.
:39:11
The car is not visible,
:39:16
or it's visible only at the last second to any--
:39:20
anyone approaching from behind.
:39:28
And then, the
interior of the car is filled with light.
:39:33
It's the headlights from the car coming up from behind.
:39:49
The snowplow cut the car
almost perfectly in half.
