Well, that wasn’t smart. Everyone knew that the storms were coming and it was going to be bad so why was he out at that time? Wait until the storm is over, at least.
I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that excessive speed may have played a role in this incident.
Oh, I agree. Unfortunately, he’s not around to clarify it. I admit I’ve gotten caught in some pretty foul weather at night. And being in a late model sports car probably factored into the equation, speed-wise. I’ve learned to make my grocery and beer runs well ahead of schedule. But I’m an NWS storm spotter and have my own radio shack (a long-time hobby of mine I’m devoting more time to), so I’ll ‘dress for the occasion’ when necessary.
Thanks.
Yes but one must look beyond that obvious fact and learn the Russians made the virus in a lab and sent it to China to infect the western world so that next time the President will get the message out of the Kremlin, to accept their election help.
That explains it. That is the road which had the big dairy cow on it for a while, right?
A lot of single car crashes are suspected to be suicide, especially when the victim is a man. He may have had trouble adjusting to life after the NBA, aggravated by recent events in the country.
I remember former St. John’s basketball star Sonny Dove drove a cab off an open draw bridge. Dove was popular in New York, but only had a brief and undistinguished NBA career. When I was in high school one of our classmate’s father was a local NYC politician and lawyer. He died in an inexplicable one car crash in good weather with a tree well off the road. Was he about to be indicted?
I remember getting in a traffic jam on the Belt Parkway south of Belmont Park sometime after the last race. Some guy in a Camaro had center punched a bridge abutment. From the looks of it, he probably left the mortgage money and the kids’ dentist money at the track.
No idea how the newer Carmaros handle, but in my invincible days on a wet Kentucky backroad my 67 lost a battle with a huge Sycamore tree and bought a farmer a mailbox. Fish tailing on a curve was easy enough when dry.

Yeah, if I’m not mistaken, it was Troy Hwy 231. I used to run computer service jobs down in Troy, and that was the quickest way to get back to I-85N via Shorter, or you’d tack an extra 20 miles and 30 minutes on your drive through Montgomery via Eastern Blvd. Nothing but big farms and gated mansion communities down that way. Pike Road. Some ritzy homes there, the rest was/is picture postcard rural. And, as it is central Alabama, there’s a good deal of swamp in the area, inhabited by critters best met with a varmint pistol or better.
Yes, I was thinking it was also the Seven Bridges Road, but that is really Woodley Road which runs parallel.
Thanks.
