If we were in the car today?

As one of our weekend chores, we left to do laundry at the usual laundry depot. Generally after we set our wash cycle we wait in our car till the wash and dry is done. But today we thought of finishing some other works (as there were many pending) in the nearby suburbs.
After a span of 30 mins, as we were approaching the depot to change the clothes to the drier, we saw three police cars, one ambulance and a tram with its caution lights on. The road was no longer open for vehicles. Initially we thought it might be some issue with the tram but as we walked to the laundry station we saw a scary and horrible scene.
A car had run over another one soo badly that it tumbled upside down and pushed the parked car on the footpath. Looking at the condition of the car we thought there were no chances of survival but fortunately the driver came out safely even after such a major crash. It seemed that the driver drove at a very high speed and misjudged the road causing this accident. 
It is exactly the same spot where we park our car for laundry. Had we been there today, I dont know what would have happened! Inspite not seeing the accident we were in a state of shock just imagining 'if we were sitting in the car today???!' entire night!
