Wall Road is in the city limits. How does it suddenly become 18 k north? I guess we have to break the news to everyone on the Hart that their tax money is going to a city they are not in.
the city does not want to be acountable for the crappy job they do of winter road maintenence.
The city isn’t responsible for the hwy. YRB is.
One dead, one in serious condition and this is all you guys can talk about? Really?
We came upon the accident scene northbound at about 6:30 p.m. turned around and detoured on N. Kelly/Christopher Rds.
The hwy. was bare, not really very slippery, the shoulders were ploughed.
Can’t really blame road conditions, or those who maintain them.
Condolences to the family of the deceased.

I was first on scene. speed was not a factor.A dog was on the road that caused the chain of events. The roads were very
icy with no sand.
Condolences to the family of the deceased
