WOW! The Carol Lane Apartments again. I’m shocked! But hey, let’s keep building those low-income apartments.
I was in the lane closest to Chevron when the truck literally flew by my vehicle (kicking up gravel) coming at me the wrong way. If it wasn’t for seeing the dust in the distance and the flashing lights of undercover and marked cars, I would not have had the warning to pull toward the side more/stop. Unreal!
