Well dang but was it a medical condition that caused the crash or some other vehicle cut him off and the driver tried to avoid it? Would like a follow up to these half ass articles that only report “sensationalism “ news

It’s kind of a free for all. Rare to see a speed cop. 70 mph might as well be 100 mph. Maybe exaggerating a bit but not much. Wait until winter.
