It happened at 11:20. I just finished work and hopped on 76 west from Passayunk. I all most hit a parked mini van that had died in the middle of the six lanes. I came to a screeching halt and he jumped out saying his battery was dead!  I promptly started cursing him. He was standing in back of his car looking for jumper cables!  I backed my car up about 100 ft. Grabbed my jump box, and hooked it to his battery and said start driving. I ran back to my car to follow him but he wasn't moving. He said it wont start. At this point I am looking to leave the scene. I was standing in The driver side door way when I heard it start. I looked up and saw a cabbie at full speed clip my car and heading right for me. I jumped out of the way and it ripped the driver side door off. The were 4 cars total involved. I was the only one who walked away.

 Wow! That is such a scary story. I guess the rule is never stop on 76.

  This morning At 6:00 AM on the Ben Franklin Bridge a truck or van was stopped dead, no lights, no flares and no driver. Good thing there was light traffic so you could see far ahead enough to change lanes.
