Popular Post cornishcarlos Posted September 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 12, 2018 Another 2 for the daily body count... Apparently some guy got mangled on the main highway, right outside our house, the other day. By all accounts he was Burmese, so probably not added to the tally !! I feel kinda of bad about being desensitized to the carnage on the roads here, but it's just to regular to let it affect you... Maybe just me ?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well. if you look at the pic, it'll show you that the collision happened where the car is. Unless the driver collected the missing parts from the car and sprinkled them out in front of his car before fleeing the scene. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Dude Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Quote Police and rescue workers arrived and found a pickup with damage in the front. Bit of a casual understatement there...it's wrecked. Must have been going very fast. Really is high time too that the cops start clamping down hard on this fleeing the scene BS...serious offense and it is well known why it often happens.
