I was wondering what the siren was about this morning. Heard an ambulance roll through Patrick’s Point area around 6:30 am today.
And another…
Wow! I wouldn’t expect a head-on crash to occur in that section of road where there are 4-lanes.
That’s exactly what I was thinking…
If you look at the skid marks of the big rig, the Pontiac was all the way over into the slowlane of the oncoming traffic WHILE cresting that hill. Best of luck to the driver and hope they pull through.
Yup. Dunno. Phone ? Medical Issue ? DWI ? British Driver ?
DWI for sure. Someone probably blacked out last night around 4AM, woke up at dawn, and drove home. “I slept so I must be ok to drive.” Happens all the time.
Sleepy driver ?
We build excitement
No DWI, this is a very nice man on his way to work and is now in critical condition. Have some respect for his family.
JB I just have to know what happened, I take the same route to work and this is very scary 🙁
Not sure at this point just hoping he recovers.
🌹 Thank you for correction.
