Sad to see that a drunk driving teen makes the headline, while an accident where someone is critical only gets to bottom portion of the story…
I saw that accident yesterday. And it looked REALLY bad.
Brings back bad memories seeing the car like that.
Hope everyone is okay.
The first report was based on the limited information available at that time.
