                       A scare on the Florida Turnpike

So there I was, lazily driving 80 mph (Miles Per Hour) or so on the Florida
Turnpike [1] about a mile north of a service plaza (where I was planning on
stopping) when I heard a siren. I looked up into the rear view mirror and
right there, just inches behind me, were the dreaded flashing red and blue
lights.

XXXX!

I start to pull over and the cop flies past me down the Turnpike.

What the …

While in the service plaza Spring [2] and I spot more emergency vehicles
flying southward down the Turnpike.

Later, as we're passing Yeehaw Junction [3] the off ramp is a parking lot;
the overpass is yet another parking lot and just past the toll booths is a
sea of flashing lights. Not entirely sure what happened there, but what ever
happened, it was pretty bad.
