A black car turned sideways in the north bound lanes and hit the retaining wall right next to me. He was partially over it and I could see almost all of the underside of his car. It looked like he(or she)flipped over and then (in my rear view mirror) I could see everyone crashing into each other....very dramatic sights and sounds. Glad you are OK. I have been trying to find info since last week, and googled "pileup on 101" and saw this. If he had come over the wall, I would have hit him head on...lucky day for both of us I am from Colorado, and was heading to LAX on Weds.
