Hope those involved survive. Clearly a lot of questions to be asked and answered surrounding incident.
How horrible!
One thing I love about my GM car -other than having been absolutely trouble-free – is that the OnStar system will automatically call for police and medical help should I be in a wreck. It would be especially helpful if I were in a solo wreck, with no other people around to have seen it, or if I ran off the road and I was down in a ravine where no one would see.
what were the vehicles ? trying to make sure if it was anyone i know they’re okay.
Photos posting now, Ryan… both seriously damaged, we’re afraid.
Did you guys cover the vigil????
We don’t cover vigils, Andy. It’s a policy of ours.
