Metro Driver 75292

I was shooting the protest and rallies in South Central LA in response to the Trayvon Martin murder verdicts today. Several of my colleagues and I decided to follow the march down Crenshaw Ave. lead by some young and rowdy kids. 
We found ourselves miles away from Leimert park, our starting point, and decided to head back. 
All of a sudden an Angel from above, Metro Driver 75292 saw us and told us to get aboard the bus. 
We did and thanked her for saving us a long walk.
God bless Metro driver 75292, we did.
