A Few Seconds of Timing

So I'm returning to work from a lunch time getaway for a milkshake and there coming towards me as I drive across the I-5 overpass, a speeding car, passing another car, half in my lane, followed by six police cars with sirens blaring. It all happened so quickly that it didn't register how close he came to hitting me head on, until they were all fading from view in the rear view mirror. 

It seems the driver robbed a bank and made it several miles into Salem before finally being stopped and arrested. 

And it's a reminder of how only a few seconds of good or bad timing are often all that separates one from life altering circumstances.
