It was Saturday morning in 1995 when on the way to work I saw this accident. Apparently she was entering the bridge at excessive speed in wet conditions and lost traction. She was uninjured but visually very upset. I always carried my camera with me with a Minolta 24-105mm & 100-300mm f/4
Thanks, It was published in the local newspaper the Miami Springs Gazette and the Miami Herald. I also received an award from Photographer's Forum Magazine's 18th annual Photography Contest. Freelancing back in the mid 90's with no internet was hard work to get published. Mailing negatives, prints and slides with prepaid return envelopes was tedious. Still, I miss those days the most...
Is the crouching lady the "she" in question that you mention or just a pedestrian taking what she thought might be cover as she watched it skid towards the bridge?
Wow, great work! Although the driver was upset, it could have been worse. Where I live, there is a high I-205 expressway bridge over the Columbia River. After a snowstorm, road crews piled snow in heaps by the edge of the bridge. One morning the road was icy, and the driver of an SUV lost control and headed for the edge. Normally the guardrails would have caught him. But in this case, the snowbanks acted like a ramp. The SUV flew off the bridge, into the river and was never seen again.
