Dude, the driver had his knee shattered, how was it then he ran? Perhaps you should concentrate on the facts more, and less on rumor

Yesterday evening's accident is anorher prime example of how much cell phone service is needed. From Hernsshaw, on route 94,we have no cell phone coverage. We really need it! Peope were stranded and no way to let anyone know anything. And whene there are wrecks, there is no way to let emergency crews know. What will it take to get cell coverage?? I am thankful there were no life threatning injuries.
