Car Crash, Three Years Later

canyonwalkerThe wheels of justice turn slowly; sometimes very slowly.
In October 2018 Hawk and I were involved in a car crash. We were passengers in a vehicle struck in a multi-car collision. The police arrested the person whose reckless driving triggered the chain reaction.
UPDATE: this is a photo I snapped of the car we were riding in.
Months later (maybe even a year-plus later) we learned that the County DA charged him with Vehicular Assault, and that we'd likely be called as witnesses in the trial. Because of the pandemic and the way the legal system can work slowly even in non-pandemic times, the trial has been postponed countless times since then. It's like every 2 months we receive letters stating the trial has been postponed another 2 months.
Until today.
Today, nearly three years after the events in question took place, we got letters that weren't about delays. No, the trial's not beginning yet. Things aren't going that fast yet! This is just the DA's office informing us that defense counsel wishes to interview us and asking us to schedule telephone interviews.
My interview is currently scheduled a week from Friday.
We'll see if another delay notice arrives between now and then. 😂
