I rear ended someone years ago with my toyota pickup in the rain on 24. Surprising how far you can slide on a wet road with the wheels locked up. I wasn’t ready for how that traffic stopped 100% going eastbound downhill into Lafayette.
Anyways, lots of hate coming out of windows of passing cars as I waited for a tow truck.
The report from 24-680 is not surprising, if found to be true. Things have only gotten worse over the 20+ years my incident happened.
Sounds like Scott Decker FA’d and FO. A reminder to all would be road ragers out there….since the Bruen ruling, you never know who is armed and who isn’t. Let your anger go of you may end up taking the concrete temperature challenge.
