Too bad someone didn’t take a few minutes to copy the tag of that suspect second vehicle either with their cell phone camera or with pen & paper, so it could be checked out later.
There was a second vehicle with significant front damage in the ditch on the west side of 29, just north of where they were loading a vehicle on a roll back, when I went by at about 0620. There was no one at that vehicle. May be related or not.
The fire department said there was a second vehicle. The FHP (which would be the official reporting agency on the wreck) said they could not find a second vehicle. Go figure.
God bless his heart. This had to have been very scary. Praying for a full recovery, and praying for his family.
What was the other car across the street?
When they catch the person involved they’ll probably say they thought they hit a deer.
Please…if someone saw something, say something. The injured man is the brother of some of my really good friends and they are an amazing family!
