Speculation. You don’t know he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. I have Sean people who were wearing them ejected. And as far as speeding, maybe. But again, maybe he swearved for something.

IF he was wearing his seatbelt 10 times out of 9 he would NOT have been ejected from the vehicle!!! Reading comprehension is obviosly not one of your strong suits!!!! It is possible he swerved (NO A in that word BTW) but likely he was going too fast for conditions!!!

Yo Dan…. Since you you appear to be big on proper spelling and punctuation, perhaps you’d like to know how to spell “obviously”, since you failed miserably at it. Also, commas after “seat belt” and “swerved” would have been appropriate. So difficult to read your atrocious puncuation.
Furthermore, “seat belt” is properly written as two words – not one.
You little speculator, you.
Sheesh!

Hahaha. This is fabulous. Watching people squabble while someone is in the hospital. Regardless, someone is hurt. People make mistakes. Be kind to each other.

Dear Mr. Spellitright,
Since we are playing this game, I want to tell you most emphatically that a comma after “swerved” would be wrong. Never put a comma just before a statement using parentheses. Please.
You may put one after the parenthetical statement–in Dan’s post, it would look like this:
“… that word BTW), but likely he was going… ”
Sincerely,
Ms. Punctuateitright

P.S. Kym, yes, I am more than a bit OCD about these details… however, I seldom just butt in to correct casual, innocent posters. I prefer to correct only the correctors!

And… to bring this back to where it should be, I wish the best to the survivor(s) of this terrifying accident. I hope all goes well and the driver enjoys a rapid and complete recovery.

Dan how dare you! You have no f’n clue who you are talking about! This man is one of the greatest guys I know and he’s an AMAZING father. But of course you don’t know this, because you have no clue who you’re talking about.

It’s simple to be a troll and just sit behind a computer and critique people’s spelling/grammar in grandma’s basement. Get a life kid!

He would never do any of the things you’ve mentioned. Keep your f’n opinions to yourself!!! If you can’t say it to someone’s face it shouldn’t come out your mouth! XO

*PS I know I’m just feeding the troll people, but someone needed to correct him.

“… It has also been speculated that the heightened anxiety levels in people with mental disorders increase in suicide incidence and the more frequent occurrences of cardiac arrhythmias on days with strong wind are likely, at least partly, to be due to some biological response to wind-generated rapid atmospheric pressure perturbations [2, 9, 10]. The effects of winds blowing from the mountains on human mental activity, characterized by parameters such as reaction time and/or duration of active attention, and indirect indications such as the behaviour resulting in traffic accidents were considered in a number of studies [11–13]. Lee and Garraway [14] found a significant effect of wind strength on the risk of sport injuries. atmospheric pressure fluctuations…”

Prayers for the individual and his family, and prayers for all the people in the comments who seem to be focused on who’s to blame and being disrespectful, compassion is what Humboldt needs not more hate to go along with all the crime and tragedy.

All the assuming only makes y’all look stupid and rude! Have some compassion, someone got hurt very bad! Disgusted at what people say about accidents they weren’t involved in…. Take some advice and keep it to yourselves!

My husband and I were the first ones on scene. We stopped and called 911 and waited with the man. What I would really like to address was the couple that came flying up the off ramp and nearly hit my husband as well as the man lying in the road. We had our hazards on and we were clearly stopped in distress, yet they were not even going to stop, in fact the only reason they did is because the road was blocked. It was disgusting that they didn’t feel the need to even slow down when they saw two people standing on the side of the road waving there arms begging for help.

First of all everyone with there assumptions are plane egnorent, sad excuses for humans. This man is my sons father and one of the most hard working men i have ever met. Never been on welfare or any other assistance. He takes amazing care of his family. So everyone with there erragent meaningless comments need to shut the fuck up.

Very sad so many accidents happen out that way. The reality of it for the most part, is driving too fast and it is worse when the road is slick. People need to drive safely, wear their seatbelts and drive sober on that road and many of these accidents wont happen. Nobody knows the story behind this accident so instead of being mean and putting words out there, be kind and considerate.

The kid who got hurt is a local, not someone who moved here to grow weed, but a local. His family is well known. Some of these comments are absolutely disgusting. If he is homeless, a dope grower, a meth addict or a CEO of a company, it doesn’t matter… he is a human being. This is what is wrong with the world. Stop judging and assuming and making speculations…. why not try having positive thoughts to help the wounded and the family and friends who are suffering…

It’s been my experience that people so judgemental are that way because they are guilty. It seems like every story I read is followed by stupid repetitive people saying the same thing. He’ll you might just as well blame the devil. Irrelevant comments from irrelevant people.
