    @Jason….If he had something happen medically (he was 74) then wouldn’t it still be considered an “accident”? I was just curious since you want to be technical.

    I am praying for the poor man! Hope he is okay!

    These aren’t “accidents”. These are “traffic crashes”. They occur when one or more drivers become distracted and fail to use their common sense and/or adhere to good driving practices

    Does every major road in this county have a railroad crossing running through it?
