I guess there was a pretty bad accident yesterday afternoon around 3pm or so.
This was at about the 123 mile marker.

Nothing in the Lebanon Newspaper yet (at least not online).

But the MSHP has on Online Crash Reports Website.
For those that don't know about the website.

There's the direct link to it.

Why is it that everyone overcorrects? Probably over 80% of MSHP's single vehicle fatalities are from people overcorrecting.

Bala... don't know if you heard me on the radio, I ended up being the second car there, right after LCSD 270... was a messed up deal... they were eastbound, ended up rolling over the median cable, not even touching it and landed in both westbound lanes.... luckily, no westbound traffic hit them. Also, while Medic 1 was on the outer road there in front of the livestock barn (parked off the road, in the grass) a drunk came along and head on'd there ambulance! No one hurt there, but the drunk was SOL!
