? Amen Jason!
Solid advice. Nobody Want to wake up on either side of a traffic accident that take’s someone’s life! An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure!
? And remember… To have that talk with Jesus Christ. ?
?? May God comfort this man’s family and loved ones as they grieve. I’m so sorry for the tragic loss of your loved one and will be lifting you up in prayer today. ?
Most vehicles travel above 50 mph on that section. I’ve rarely seen speed inforcement there.
May God surround this family. May his children find peace with there dad gone.
Get this family a go fund me page
I called the sheriff’s office, spoke to someone there and at the CHP, then, finally, a dispatcher for the City and let them know how traumatizing it was to come upon the scene and see the body covered, except for the feet.
I can’t un-see that and suggested they cover fatalities completely, so nothing more can be known or guessed about the deceased.
I also learned that fatalities have to remain in situ until the investigation is complete. That took almost 3 hours, I think.
So sorry someone perished!
The official news will come out today.
