Keep driving reckless and this will only get worse. Doing 90mph @430-530 in the morning is beyond wreckless!! I know cops dont want to be in the side of the LIE with a car pulled Over in the complete darkness, but wreckless behavior will continue to occur.
@CRYPTOLOOPRING that’s true but sadly victim wasn’t driving reckless
Slow down!!!
Nailed it!!!!!
There are times the ones driving those construction dump trucks are speeding themselves, knowing they cant stop on a dime. R.I.P to the Camry driver
I passed by there around 3am and there was so much snow from the shoulder thrown in the middle of the road
