Is it worth your life to get someplace a little sooner?

Is it worth your life to respond to a text?

Have people’s values deteriorated so that their lives no longer matter?

Do people consider their loved ones when making decisions?

There were four fatal traffic incidents tonight alone.

Please, don’t be number 5.

Super cool of you to assume.

Assume? Someone was doing something wrong, and that is why this happened. It does not say who was at fault, but traffic accidents don’t just magically happen when everyone is obeying the laws.

There quite a few reasons auto accidents happen. Some are not always the drivers fault, a few to mention. Road hazzards that can not be avoided, the driver suffers a medical emergency and mechanical failure. So your statement that there is always someone doing something wrong, well is wrong.

Have you any further information?

Super cool of you to troll & virtue signal but nobody cares

How about we wait for full investigation before we assume.

Have no idea what caused accident.
Police passed us then Engine 12 by Pavilion.
Worst crash I’ve ever seen.
Pole vehicle was wrapped around has been hit at least three times I know of.
Should be moved another 50 feet down the hill.
.
There’s a chart on page three of .pdf worth printing out.
Since drivers ED is no more many drivers have no clue distance it takes to slow and stop a vehicle.

Roads wet. Speeding cars. Bad combination.

Light weight imports, especially.

When I first came to Claycord, the most reported and exciting auto incidents involved fire hydrants getting hit, and people running into an extensive, white-picket fence the City had constructed around a vacant lot. Once in a great while, an occasional fender bender on Clayton Road was recorded or a jaywalker. . How times have changed!
Cell phones, speeding, just general carelessness or inattention Whatever it is, it hasn’t been at all helpful.

There are more SUVs on the road these days, with drivers that are inexperienced at handling a top-heavy vehicle that is prone to accidents due to hazardous weather conditions.

Still miss Radar

Has anyone considered there could have been a mechanical failure or a tire blow out going down hill in the rain, People!!!
Does everyone know how to handle a blow out in good weather? How about if your going down hill and/or in the rain???
Don’t always “ass-ume” it was driver neglect.
