From what we heard, reports from eye witnesses said the guy coming up Canal (toward town) was going 60 or 70mph, hit the car that had just come thru the gate head-on. The guy was ok, walking around. Took about 45 mins. to get the 2 women out of the other car that was turned on it's side tho. The 2 women were awake and talking but don't know their condition. The impact happened near Goose Creek Rd., but the cars skidded about 200 ft., almost to the gate, leaving debris along Canal.
One of the cars was in a yard about 10 or 15 ft. from the house.

Hopefully the story will be in the paper tomorrow.

I sometimes get a little lax with my seatbelt for the 6 block trip to town, but this was a wake up call for me.
