Sorry but you'll have to explain that term to us on the east coast. It's a historical reference of some kind, isn't it?
My buddy got nailed Sunday. Right lane of a 4 lane road. Starts up from a light and the car to his left suddenly stops so he looks to the left just in time to see a girl in an Escort slide into him. No serious injuries, thankfully. She was going fast on a wet road and didn't see the light until the last second. Bang.
