What a shame.sending prayers everyone is going to be ok.
Bud left Myers Flat a year ago. He lives in Holmes Flat these days. Harsh being drunk early in the day. Two other people injured. Damn Bud. Not cool at all
The press release says “under the influence of drugs”. Glad it was a tree and not a school bus full of children.
