Another crazy driver on Hillcrest, this road is the Wild West with people driving over 60 MPH and passing in the bike lane!

I was at my friends house right where this happened. That road is wicked dangerous regaurdless…the tree she hit is in the divider, her car was unreconisable..it ruined my Sunday in misbelief that this could happen. Slow down on hillcrest! Stay off your phones! And do not drink and drive…I pray she is going to make it..

Nothing wrong with the road. It is the drivers who speed and pull in and out cutting you off. They think they are Nascar drivers or something.

I actually know who this happened to. And anyone talking about speed should just shut up. We are all worried and grieving. Just hope this doesn’t happen to any of YOUR loved ones.

Everyone expects the worse from someone maybe uu guys should just wait to see the outcome before u start talking shit you don’t know this person nor know the whole story. You people are the reason there’s always drama behind every news story. My stepmom was hit by a train a few months ago and everyone said she tried comitting suicide but guess what the ruling was it was the trains fault so get the while story or more info before you start decreasing yourselfs to children and running your pathetic mouths.

Yup. Those trains are known for going off track and swerving to hit people. Trains are totally unpredictable. Who knows when they are going to jump of their tracks and make a sharp turn to hit someone. It’s not like they have a set course guided by a predictable track.
