I worked with Maurice for 20 years such a good guy. My prayers go out to his family…
Just a reminder that before the EMT’s arrived the CVFD was on scene taking care of this man! So Kudos to them also.
I saw the truck sitting sideways across the ditch, glad the driver was able to get it stopped. The EMTs were working on Mr Smith. I pray for his recovery. Kudos EMS.
