I sure hope the person that went off the road and hit a tree is ok. 30 feet and then a tree stops you quickly is not good. Praying for the best outcome possible.
I know that spot. They’re lucky they only went 30′ down the hill and not 300′. Frost likes to linger on the road up the hill, especially on the shady side, if it was present and contributed to the accident.
