Sad.
Thoughts and prayers are with the victims, whoever they may be.

Get this I was coming down Ashley Phosphate rd at quitting time and traffic was usual stop and go stop and go to I-26. This freaking moron decided he just couldn't wait so he drove down the median and at the stall rd red light cut over in traffic at hauling butt speeds I might add all the way to I26 where he swirved over to the far rt to get on I26 west bound! I called 911 but the guy was going so fast I couldn't get his tag #.
Slow down people and wear your seat belts! This is why people die!
