?? Condolences to the victims of this horrific crime. ?. PLEASE DON’T get behind the wheel of an automobile intoxicated or even tipsy.
?? Prayers for ALL.
Highway 29 is honestly one of the most deadliest roads in Lake Country. I hope adding a couple more lanes helps. This is a tragedy, this irresponsable act, ruined too many lives. I hope the families peace, and justice for Jones.
