Very sad.
I traveled through that same spot about 3 hours earlier. It was somewhere between a heavy drizzle and raining with light fog. Even though I could drive that road in my sleep, I dialed back my speed quite a bit especially in the curves. The first rain in a while always brings up the oil.
Condolences to the family and friends.
🕯🌳Condolences and prayers. 🕊🕊
