Linda called yesterday morning and asked if we had seen the ambulance and police cars heading up the highway - we didn't but promised each other if we heard anything we would let the other know. She soon called back and said that it was a head-on between a transport and a car up the road and that the highway was closed. And today I read on Kim's Facebook that it was a fatality. The little red car was crushed all the way back to the back seat according to her as she had seen the wreck on the flatbed hauling it away.
It was a little frosty yesterday morning so the roads could have been slippery. There are some sharp curves and steep hills so it is very dangerous for all vehicles. Sometimes vehicles veer into the other lanes on these roads. A reader commented about the police report - a 77 year old man crossed the centre line and hit a transport head on. I had inferred that trucks travel at a fast pace down our highway and sometimes are in the other lane on curves and hills and that it may have been the trucker at fault. I apologize for that and stand corrected.
Everyone who travels these highways have to be careful and watch out for the other guy. But accidents do happen. My thought and prayers are with the family of the older gentleman.

Our prayers go out to his family, just not right
Police report shows that THE 77 yr. old driver of the car , crossed the line and HE hit the truck , head on . Thank God the truck driver escaped injury .
Those roads up there can be treacherous at times, especially when driving for long periods of time - you get tired and forget how instantaneous one bad move can be. Stay safe!
