Highway 36. How many people die on this road every year? It seems there’s a gnarly wreak there once a week. Godspeed on victims soul

It’s because everyone think they can drive that road. So sad for the way this one ended.

I saw this when my sons and I drove up to Bridgeville to play in snow. It’s actually on the west side of Bridgeville.

Not a good time to be on the road if you can help it. If not, throw an extra coat, boots, flashlight, and some water (eating snow is not a good option) in the vehicle. Let someone know your intended route and schedule. Fully charge the phone, if you have one; you might get lucky and get stuck somewhere with reception. Know the capabilities of your self and vehicle; if you are not sure, don’t do it.

And if you have the option of hunkering down and staying off the road until Sunday, why not do that? Just my $0.02, it can be pretty scary out there.

Yes- people are such busy bodies. Just stay home, save the first responders some grief. Pretty much anything can wait for a day or two.

This was my brother ….

We are from San Diego, not familiar with your roads or conditions etc.

He was up there helping a friend by watching their dogs.

He was not a careless man, a “busy body”, “ignorant” for not having chains or what we else people decide to assume when someone ends up this way.

It was his friends truck, not his.

He was a great man, brother , father and friend.
