It really is sad about the construction workers though, I can't imagine the trauma that the wife and kids face when dad is now gone forever. Another sad thing, there was a major accident earlier yesterday right in front my office on 169 and 77th. A younger guy in a F150 crew cab went around the guard rail and slammed into a large steel and concrete sign post at a good clip. There was over 30 cops, ambulances and fire trucks there trying to get the driver out of the truck. They airlifted him to the hospital, I'm not sure if he made it or not. Considering most of the engine was pushed into the cab, I kinda doubt it.

That younger guy, if he lives, will have an incredible bill. One guy I know was billed 40,000 dollars for an airlift when a big machine fell on him and broke his back. over 30 cops, multiple amberlampses and fire trucks! Jebus that's some huge expense for one car. I'm not saying he shouldn't have had the best response, but I bet the same could have been done with 3 cops, 1 amberlamps and one firetruck. Oh well, I wasn't there and I'm not a cop.

where?
I've driven that road twice since they have been working there and will be again later. Something just sounds not right to me.

Just being from out of town makes it more dangerous. People in southern states seem to speed more from what I've see.
