main streets were filled with racing cars.  Everyone was trying to go somewhere else, as if anywhere was better than where they already were.  They sat and waited for a chance to make it out of their complex.  Car after speeding car flew past.  There was a car directly across from them in their sister apartment complex across the busy street.  Its high beams were on shining brightly into the eyes of Eric and Dave.  The car looked as if it were a van of some sort, whatever it was, it was perfectly angled, so the lights shined like spot lights to help the frenzied find their way for a meals on wheels feast.  The vans lights shined directly into the jeeps passengers eyes hampering their vision.   
                  He flashed then shined his high beams on the van in sheer disapproval hoping it hampered his vision as well.  As soon as his high beams shined he noticed the vehicle pull out of the complex as many other vehicles had, but the lights were moving faster than normal.  It pulled out and the sound of squealing tires followed the van.  The van turned to its right and the passengers in Eric’s jeep could see four people clinging to the tan colored vehicle and more chasing after it.  As soon as they could make out the details of the van and why it pulled into oncoming traffic a black truck rammed into its side.  The truck crushed two men holding onto the side of it and another two went flying through the air on the passenger side of the vehicle.  The two men that were crushed were smashed in half. 
                  The van and truck went spinning into oncoming traffic and spun into both lanes, while the two smashed in half bodies were thrown from the spinning vehicles.  The cars that followed the truck slammed on their brakes and slid off the side of the road.  The traffic that was coming in Eric’s direction slammed their brakes and tried to swerve to avoid the crashed vehicles with no success.  Instantly a wall of metal was formed that allowed them to pull out. 
                  One of the cars that slid off the road across from them was trying to free itself from the ditch it was stuck in, but the black cars wheels spun wildly.  The torsos of the two crushed people pulled themselves to the black car, dragging their entrails behind them.  The car was half way down in a ditch and people started moving from the bushes that blocked the apartments from the street.  Maybe Eric wanted to believe these people coming from the bushes were going to push them out of the ditch, but reality hit hard when the back door behind the driver opened and a heavier young woman with black hair holding a small child in her arms came running from the car and darted across the busy street.  A speeding car slammed the breaks and slowed dramatically before hitting the woman and her child, but it hit her hard enough to lift her from her feet and send them flying back.  Eric pulled away knowing there was nothing they could do.  The small car that hit her turned slightly to avoid running them over and continued down the street. 
    Eric watched through the rear view window and the other three stretched their necks to watch the mayhem.  The vehicles lights were on due to the back door being left open and was lit enough, that they could make out people being pulled from the car and seeing the white light of the car turn the inside to a crimson glow.  The crawling torsos of the two crushed undead reached the woman and child and immediately bit into their flesh.
    The car was quiet, all of them wanted to help, they wanted to do something, but none of them knew what they could do.  They rode in silence for a minute, which felt like hours, until Dave turned the on radio.  It was quiet now with the exception of an emergency broad cast.  The news broadcaster was speaking from a helicopter, giving the news report. 
    He had an English accent and had to speak loudly over the chopping blades of the
