Maybe it’s the same Prius that hit and killed the guy by the slough bridge in Eureka last month. Or maybe Marci traded in her jeep for a Prius. Hope the guy recovers quickly.
LOL Marci strikes again!
I think the driver stayed at the scene; at least that’s how I’m reading it. True?
Good point, Im so used to everything being hit and runs around here that I never considered the person actually stuck around after the accident. That counts Marci out on this one.
She did stay at scene
I hate to say this, butttt… I think it’s time for a stop sign at that intersection, too many deaths at that same place.
