“Police continued to investigate how the man ended up out of his vehicle.“
This makes me think he wasn’t ejected as a result of the crash, which makes me wonder what happened.
Weird.
This is an unfortunate accident. I pray the driver didn’t suffer from injuries that caused the death. And you shouldn’t have to defend your reporting these people just need something to do by ripping others. And here’s a quote I have noticed fits many people on here. “The only exercise some people get is jumping to conclusions, running down their friends, side-stepping responsibility, and pushing their luck! ~Author Unknown”
Landru,
The story does not say Sawmill Road is on the northeast side. The story reports two crashes: 1) Sawmill Road in the northwest and 2) I-270 at Easton on the northeast side.
If you are standing South West of Sawmill then Sawmill becomes North East. :-)
Must have been one heck of a crash!
Didn’t you get the memo? Last night when the accident happened!
When did Sawmill Road move to the northeast side?
