I was out at Evans Prarie tonight and saw the accident scene. Apparently the vehecle was going south on Buena Vista (Towards Brownwood ) and went straight at the circle over the grass area and knocked down a light pole and the car flipped over.

The bartender at EPCC said they walked away from the accident after they were able to get them out of the vehicle.

Drive Safe !

You should be careful whether you read it in the paper or not.

The only thing I noted was this is one of the days the paper doesn't have a police blotter. I know they don't on Sunday but I haven't paid attention what days it IS in. We will see if anything is reported tomorrow and if not I will call and ask why not.

Assuming Village Dude is correct, it's a one car property damage only accident not a "horrible" accident.

So why should every one of those be in the Daily Sun or any paper for that matter?

Good point. I will save my questions for another subject.

Question. Did your newspaper from the area that you moved from put every accident in the paper? I know we average 6 accident runs out of our station a week and the only ones that make it in the paper are the real bad ones that we have to be there for hours for PSP investigation.

The fact that you put "horrible" in quotes gives me the impression that you were doing your best to be sarcastic by making it appear that I was over-reacting. I don't know whether you need to see body parts to deem it horrific, but my interpretation is such that when I see that many emergency vehicles, firemen on the ground looking like they are trying to extricate people and a car flipped on its side, to me that is one awful (do you like that word better?) scene.

I was reporting what I saw without any knowledge of the condition of the occupants so if you can't post without making fun of someone, then button it up.
