    OK at this point I think the owners of that property can give up on that fence idea... Cause these d*** people look like they have a grudge against that particular fence....

    Things like these happen on the road as accidents come in various forms this could have been any driver and when people blog and make so silly and unfriendly remarks is as if we are gods here on earth. No one knows what happened to the driver in terms of the state of her health at that particular moment, perhaps an early morning dramatic spirit along the roadside, and much more. Please be sympathethic as we are all either drivers,passerbys or passengers and no one knows what the future holds.
