Accident on 31 - NaPoWriMo Day 2

Prompt - Question

Accident on US 31

I saw the swirling cloud of dust ahead of me and thought
"Isn't it early for them to be in the fields?"
"Where'd that dust come from, didn't it rain yesterday?"
"What's up with the brake lights up there?"

And then in the middle of the
Just-happened accident.
Conjoined car and truck to my left
Jewels of windshield glass on my
Side of the road.

Don't look, keep driving.
Don't look, keep driving.
Don't look, keep driving.

Get out of the way, you are no help.
Others with cell phones were running
And as happens every once in a while
When there's a high temperature or an
Unexplained rash, I wish I had listened to
My mother when she asked "Why don't you
Think about nursing school?"
Get out of the way, you are no help.

Don't look, keep driving.
Jewels of windshield glass
Crunched under my tires
Get out of the way
You should have stopped at Target.

Don't look
What if that light at the intersection of 7 and 31
Had been green?
