On the way home from work today, I was waiting at an intersection to make a right turn while the oncoming left turn traffic passed by. The last vehicle was a FedEx truck that was going along pretty fast as if to squeak by before losing the right of way. As the truck was finishing it’s turn and I started my turn, I noticed a small brown box skidding in my direction from the center of the intersection just before it hit the concrete island between the main road and my right turn lane. As I merged onto the road, the FedEx truck came to a stop in front of me and the driver jumped out and started running back to where the liberated package had come to a rest. Oops!
