Wow, this is sad. Talk about an innocent bystander.
People need to learn that road is not a dragstrip
People need to slow down I will miss my neighbor
She was very sweet young woman. Prayers go out to her family and friends and neighbors. God Bless all of them.
Seems like a lot of collisions in that area. Very sad indeed.
Prayers for the family
I use to travel that road. In fact got a 200+ fine for passing a pick up truck load with a full size sofa. Passed the truck doing a few miles over the speed limit. Truck with huge sofa got Zero. However, my condolences. That road is not well traveled so it is hard to understand such mayhem.
You saying a sixty year old driver was drag racing ??
Don't think speed had anything to do with the accident. An older couple returning home from church I highly doubt they were speeding. Something obviously happened but I'm praying for everyone involved.
Yes it did thwy where over the speed limit in the wrong lane
Yes they where speeding on the wrong side of the road at that
