Bro, grab a beer and sit down, because I've got news from Cluj that'll make you realize our roads are a mess! This morning, on the road between Salatiu and Dej, a 39-year-old hotshot from Timiș thought he'd do some slalom between poles. Yeah, yeah, you heard right: he drove into oncoming traffic and slammed straight into a concrete pole. I don't know what he was looking for, maybe he confused the road with a Formula 1 track. The result? The pole went to hell, and the car ended up looking like a tin can from Ceaușescu's era. The guy got off, but a 9-year-old child, who was in the back seat, was injured and taken to the hospital. Me, when I heard, I lost it: how can you do something like that, especially with a kid in the car? Come on, be serious, you're a father, have some care!
The cops, who arrived at the scene, breathalyzed the driver. Surprise: the result was negative. "Did he drink or didn't he?" you ask. They say no, boss, he was sober. So what the hell happened to him? Maybe he fell asleep at the wheel, maybe he was distracted by his phone, maybe he got scared by a fox. What's certain is that the investigation is ongoing, and the boys from IPJ Cluj are trying to figure out how it happened. Me, I'm not being fooled: you don't do that, bro. If you were tired, you pull over, you don't crash into poles. And just like that, an innocent kid pays for someone's stupidity. I hope the little guy is okay, because at 9 years old he's small, maybe he was dreaming of Untold or a match at Cluj Arena.
That's Romania for you: a guy from Timiș has an accident in Cluj, and us regular folks stand around crossing ourselves. Well, I'm off to tell Mioara to be careful when she takes Brian out on the street, because you never know who you'll run into. Maybe she'll let me have a barbecue with the boys to forget about all this.
