Thanks for the photos Kim Sallaway.
That’s a lot of damage to that vehicle.. hope the injured that were airlifted are ok…
Praying for the victims.
Great photos of tragic event.
I’m confused Kym. Is this a separate accident from the one on Wednesday evening? This account states that southbound lanes were blocked, and when I drove by the accident on Wednesday evening, it was the northbound lanes that were blocked.
It’s a separate accident, just a day apart. One weds night and this article was thurs night.
Here’s the link to the Wednesday accident. https://kymkemp.com/2015/10/28/vehicle-overturned-north-of-redway/
Good portrait of a Fire Fighter.

Praying for all.
