Sad what a shame so young .
Any word on the driver’s condition who crashed the vintage Fiat Abarth out hwy. 36 this morning? He was driving with several cars on a vintage car rally.
Yeah, that word, “Fatal”, can be confusing!!
He’s talking about another accident. Not the one in this article.
Hi David Howard. I would encourage the reading of both sentences and then respond with sarcasm if needed. I again have listed the pertinent information from my original question below.
car: vintage Fiat Abarth late 50s early 60s model not a Mitsubishi
place: hwy. 36 not Eureka
date: today 9-12 and not yesterday 9-11
event: car rally
A common means of expressing that is as follows, “The Lights are on but no one is home!!! Just saying!!!
Driving under the inflence of alcohol or any other mind altering substance, especially with no seatbelt in use, is a dandy way to win a Darwin Award, for taking themselves out of the Gene Pool!!!
So sorry to the family.gosh I’ve been saying that alot.so young.
a lot is two words
