A gray BMW? The make and color of cars is important, I guess.

I will declare substance abuse involved…

[Red Badger]

I’ve often heard not much good happens after midnight. 😏

I bet alcohol was involved.

Maybe they had the winning PB ticket and were overly excited.

The reporter undoubtedly copy and pasted that straight from the digital police report without editing one word......a real commentary on how elementary journalism has become.

“gray BMW lost control”

If you’re going to blame the car for losing control, might as well ID the perp.

Something ain’t right. I’m told that only EV’s catch on fire. LOL

One of our kids home had a BMW crash into it at 90 miles an hour in a residential area. The driver was 16 and two weeks old and was driving his new birthday present impaired.

The insurance was maxed out by the damage and the parents pretended he was emancipated.

There’s a fire at the FireHouse!

That actually happened down the street from my house. The Cherry Valley Fire Department on Newburg Road caught fire years ago when a hot plate was left on when the firemen went on a call. Buy, were THEY embarrassed.
