I knew Dana she was a very good person and friend. She well be missed
No they do not need a traffic light there. If you pay attention you’ll be just fine.
There needs to be a traffic light there, it is hard to see traffic going North on 36, and hard to get into the hyway at times of holidays
Did u know dana? She was my good friend. I’m heart broken
I am so sorry for the loss of your good friend.
I will keep you and her family in my prayers.
She was a very close friend of my son..in fact she spent Monday afternoon with him eating ribs and joking around..he is crushed…in tears..
Dana was a good friend. I will miss her always. I’m vert sorry for everyon̈es loss
What arrangements were made for her resting? I can’t find any obituary info for her. I was a friend of her also
It had nothing to do with the light it was before the light and I don’t know why they wouldn’t report that the box truck went over the guardrail and landed in a ditch at least 20 foot down
The truck was I the trees when I passed by since I live right up the road from there
It was a water truck. Not a box truck
