Jeeez! They keep hitting trees! What’s going on? Should we remove all trees now?
Remove the keys
RIP. That is a 35 mph street, he had be going at least 50+ mph.
Rest in Peace, young man. 🙁
Yep!! Speed kills!! Yes it does!!!
Only him to blame!! Oh well!!
Crass.
In light of someone’s son dying right here in town I’m here to tell you that “who cares” is a pretty ugly statement.
You must be a complete cold blooded P.O.S to leave a comment like that. Regardless of the reason, a young life was lost. And if you’re wondering who cares, his family does. Keep your insensitive comments to yourself.
Sorry!! No sympathy for some stupid ass that endangers others by driving recklessly!!
Fortunately he was the only one that was killed!! Oh well!!
Melissa put a D in your mouth and shut up!
MAGA if I slam your head into a tree at 35 mph you’d be dead too. We can arrange that for you or any of the others whiners here.
You don’t even know what happened and yet you complain about someone speeding. Typical supporter. Where did you get educated Trump University?
I passed by today and saw the family in mourning. As a truck driver I have seen and heard of many falling asleep at the wheel and someone who took or forgot to take medication die hitting a tree or power pole at slow speeds.
Tragic.
