It has been raining for about a week straight now here in Florida. Yesterday, I was downtown watching the UEFA Cup Final at the Alcove after work when I heard someone say there was a man lying in the middle of Main Street (in the rain). Well you know: have camera; will shoot. So, I walked over and took a some shots while the man (who had just been hit by an SUV while trying to dash across the street against the light) just lay in the middle of the street waiting for the ambulance to arrive and take him to the hospital. He was treated for non-life-threatening injuries (as you can see in the first shot he busted his head open). The second shot here is of the man being tended to by paramedics while the woman who was driving the SUV gives her account of the accident to one of the officers at the scene. I haven't shot much spot news in a while. The Sun picked up the first photo below for today's paper. It was an unexpected end to my Wednesday.
