Re:johnS. Not saying he was doing either. But were you in the truck? Or did he (swear)he was not. This road is curvy. So accidents happen. Put will say. I have seen a lot of speeders on it trying to pass when they know they can’t. Drive safe everyone
I am the cousin of the fellow in the wreck.First of all he was not speeding second of all he was not on the phone.I just love how people think they know everything and want to assume things.
I think you could open up a wrecker / tow truck business around Hwy 29 and 97 and make a fortune. Can’t see you having much time to sleep.
There are so many accidents over that way because folks drive like fools. Now having said that, I’m not saying thats what happened in the above article, but am saying there are plenty of ignorant, selfish, foolish drivers on that road.
Seems a lot of people are losing control of their vehicles lately. I see a lot of talking on the phone, texting on the phone while driving. I hope this wasn’t one of them.
All the roads around the North Escambia area sure have been acting crazy lately!!!
What a day it would be to celebrate…if there were no wrecks on US 29 or SR 97.
It just may happen…one day.
