Our prayers go out to the families of the two that were killed last night and the three currently in the hospital.
New year’s eve festivities here started with a heck of a crash. Details are still sketchy, and no need to speculate. Fortunately for us, our daughter wasn’t involved. She had just left our home running into town and I was about 5 minutes behind her. As I pulled onto hwy R, I was passed by multiple first responders, sherrif cars, and so on. Naturally that sick feeling kicks in as a father and the mind goes to the worst.
As I sat stopped on the side of the road, I was able to contact Lindsey and had the relief that she was fine. Unknowing to her, vehicles just behind her collided head on and a third slammed into them. 2 fatalities, and 3 injured. This was just before 6pm.
We have volunteer fire departments out here and they were out in force. These fridig temps and impatient drivers on a heavily travels road, then being on a call like this. Appreciate the guys/gals that respond and work so hard in these situations.
Tight community here and when the rest of the details come out, it’s going to be tough for many here.
