Accident in dust storm

Brisbane experienced two dust storms last week. I never seen the sky so dusty before that you cannot see anything 500 meters away. The sky is orange in colour and you can smell the dust when you breath. Even though I closed all door and window, there still a layer of yellow dust on all the furniture. That 's the first time I experience dust storm.

The second dust storm was on Saturday. The visibility was not as bad as the first one but still can see a layer of dust in the sky. I thought people was going to drive more safely at that time but we experienced a accident just in front of us. Tao and I just waited at the light for a right turn and that a car crush happened just in front of us. We were the fourth car waiting at the light and there was a truck turning left to the road started to lose control. The driver was sure driving too fast for turning and "bomb" crashed into the car just in front of us. Because there was also a ute at the back of the truck and it started to skid and hit all the two cars at front. Tao immediately changed lane and lucky we did not get hurt. Tao said that he saw the driver's face was red and believed he was drunk. That was terrible to have driver did that especially in such a poor driving condition.

Thanks so much that we did not get hurt. But both of us was so scared. The whole thing seemed to happen slowly via your eye but you could not react anything. Both of us just sit and saw everything...Even though we wanna escaped but you could not move a bit....Just hope that people are more careful when they drive.
