Bad light. Sun shines on east bond light at sunset, west bound in morning. Son had a same accident where the other car was going south. South bound passenger also died.
So sorry for the Dee’s family. I had just saw Mr. Dee’s in our Wells Fargo store and it happened right next to us. We had no idea it was him. We are all mourning him today and praying for the family.
Gods speed Mr Dees. It was an honor to have known you.
