The ATT employee involved in this wreck was returning from PCola after dealing with one of his employees who was killed Thusday in an accident at Olive Rd and Davis Hwy. His head was probably not where it should have been and there’s no telling what distraction caused this. Thank goodness no one was hurt in this one.
@dool
Looks like he has pretty good connection at the moment !!!
to haha!! Verizon is “Can You Hear Me Now” !! We don’t want to get confused with the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
Hello, Mr. Smith, this is AT&T and we’d like to see you in the office Monday morning.
Praising there were no injuries.
his driving is as bad as the service I get from at&t
AT&T’s drivers are as bad as their cell phone service…….
I see people following too closely all the time, and on a wet road this is what happens when you brake. You just slide into someone. Glad it wasn’t an injury accident.
Can you Hear me Now?
Glad all is ok…
This is AT&T may i help you.
Glad no students or the driver was hurt. Hope the ATT is OK.
I’ve said it a million times. Hang up and drive. The road was barely wet and the rain had pretty much stopped. Please, be careful out there.
Maybe he was on his cell phone. Haha?
Hello AT&T. I didn’t see nor hear that big old yellow bus. Sure glad no one was hurt!
So thankful no students or my mom was injured! Could have been so much worse. Hope the driver of the car will be ok. God is so good!
