Saw this vehicle about 5:15 approx. tailgating the car in front of them, heard a screeching sound and my boyfriend looked in rear view mirror and saw the white vehicle fishtailing.
So sad! I commute Hwy 20 to Ukiah and back 5 days a week and I really wish people wouldn’t think they’re invincible. My love and positive thoughts go out to this person and their family.
