No driver can go very wrong if he always keeps the rubber side down
Wow. That was incredibly insightful.
Any other pearls of wisdom?
I’m confused. The rubber side was up? Why would anyone drive like that?
What if you lose the rubber?
Right! He said the same thing a week ago in a post about the two women and six children who died on the coast! Incredibly rude and insensitive he is.
Sadly there seem to Morons on the loose everywhere these “daze”!!!
Rubber side down always!
Freaking people on the 101. I live in legget and do work in gville and people drive like idiots. How many dabs does it take?
Read the article!!!! It clearly says…. The vehicle is now “upside down in the river submerged.”
Your town is spelled Leggett and you’re correct as to how people drive around here.
My cousin lives and has business in Garberville a Aoto repair place I used to live in G.ville as well loved that town hope this is not the family that is missing vichele
No. Stop crashing and dying!!
..And poor EMTs, I know they pick that job but how stressful and traumatic . 🙁
Sending angels
Kind of a dumb comment. Second to “keep your rubber down?” Like you have angels at your fingertips.
Oh Mr J.Dubbs, we do actually.
…”There are hundreds of angels and archangels who are willing and ready to help us. Simply call out and ask the angels to draw close around you. Ask them to bring you what you want…”

Prayers for the family
Be safe res q
so many accidents in that area
Any more information on this? Were they able to recover the vehicle or anyone from the vehicle? Number of occupants? Color or type of car?
Story soon.
Nothing a guardrail wouldn’t have fixed
Wonder if they pulled over for a tailgater to get off their ass. I could see that happening.
I can see that. There seems to be a tailgater on me every time I go through there and I pull over in that area. I drive the speed limit.
