Must have been flying as most do at that intersection
It boggles the mind how people drive at very high speeds in that area! If you can, avoid the Laurel Road vicinity as much as possible.
Exactly Elizabeth, Laurel is a race track, especially between Empire and Hwy 4. People are crazy the way the drive. Me first, me first. Idiots!!! Laurel is the most dangerous street in Oakley and needs way more enforcement.
If you saw where he went off you would not think speeding more like texting. Cause if he was speeding he would have hit the tracks
