    Speed was the contributing factor in this crash. I live just a half mile up the road and was on my porch when the vehicle came by my house at an extremely fast speed. I heard the “thud” of the crash but couldn’t get down there. Prayers for the driver. I see alot of people speeding on this road from cars to log trucks. FHP and ESCD need to set up on this road…
