        One of the drivers is my step son any updates?

        • NEWS24-680 on Jan 14, 2024 at 7:16 pm

          Ah, very sorry to hear this, Dave. Once the victims get to the hospital patients rights kick in and we have no further access to information.

          Wish you the best.

          We’re so sorry. We heard it and saw the story here. Is your stepson recovering?

        • Dan Archuleta on Jan 14, 2024 at 8:53 pm

          The hospital and police won’t tell you how your stepson is doing???

  9. Dan on Jan 14, 2024 at 4:23 pm

    Explosive destruction. Contact must have been made at high speed.

    One of the drivers was a dear friend of mine. They are in critical condition, having emergency surgery after emergency surgery.
