Interesting to see how people respond in situations aside from politics.

The local link reports that this was a head on collision involving three cars and a semi. The semi was at fault. That would have been a very high impact collision. Anyone that stopped at that scene saw some serious carnage. They used to make all the high school students watch a traffic accident film in school. I had nightmares for quite awhile afterwards.

Glad that Rubio and Heck were able to help.

Heck is involved in an ugly run for Reid’s seat right now. Between him and his opponent, I am guaranteed to hear the word “rape” about 100 times a day. :rolleyes:
