Having worked in Hwy construction for 30 years . I have seen some horrible accidents. Most are excessive speed. One car on GCP went airborne and hit a tree 12 ft up. All 4 young people were killed. It was so sad seeing how many makeshift memorials are on our Hwys. Don’t tailgate. It never ends well. People have become so aggressive when they drive. Drive like all thee cars around you are loved ones and friends.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
