RIP to the dude. I’d really like to know what happened though. Sorry I guess. ---

From what I heard from a close NYST friend, a car somehow got onto another side of the highway in which two+ cars went into the median, one of which I believe was an SUV, and the SUV flipped and I’m pretty sure the SUV driver was the one that died. Not 100% sure, but I’m pretty sure that’s what happened. RIP. ---

My father went riding out that way this evening. I wonder if he got stuck in any of that. RIP. Curious as to how this happened, though. ---

They had rt 7 shut down well after 4am. I had to detour my test drive through green island due to all lanes being closed. ---

RIP again, but it was his fault if he was really driving like a dick, and unfortunately was a deadly lesson learned. More than likely could have been prevented with a xanax/klonopin. Shame. ---
