RIP.
I send a good thought, a general prayer, when I awake to helicopters that I can assume are headed to Cottage.
There are far too many of these roll over incidents on the 166. RIP.
I was just driving that road about two weeks ago in the evening dark, and it was raining. I was going the speed limit and there were cars lined up behind me tailgaiting. WHY GO TOO FAST on a curvy slippery mountainous road?? WHY? It just doesn’t make sense.
R.I.P. Dude
