Man tried to run a red, almost hit a pedestrian, swerved to avoid the pedestrian which caused them to crash, then that driver took their own life
Can you even imagine what he thought ,ong it's terrible. And very sad
I live down the street. The helicopters circling non stop was insane. I was wondering what the hell happened. That poor person that died. 💔
Wtf is going on everywhere, man 🤦 Not safe anywhere anymore
They hurt 14 people and then offed themselves, this seems avoidable
