In my last post on Christmas Day I mentioned a report from the W-DOT of an accident that closed both lanes of Highway US-2 east of Ashland.I created a quick map of the accident location and temperatures in the area at the time of the accident. Lake-effect snows were impacting the high terrain of Ashland and Iron counties, but snow showers were lighter in the lower terrain along the lakeshore.
This is the article I pulled from Ashland Current:
Investigation Of Fatal Accident Continues
[UPDATED] Investigation continues after a fatal Christmas Day accident on the Bad River Reservation in the Town of Sanborn.
A head-on automobile accident killed the drivers of two vehicles traveling in opposite directions and left a passenger with serious injuries.
Authorities reported the accident occurring at 3:23 p.m. Those killed were Courtney Greene, 22, and William Jones, 21, both of Odanah. 32-year-old Tracy Bigboy, also of Odanah, was Green’s passenger and was treated and released from a hospital.
This is probably the worst time to have an accident. What's really worst is that the accident claimed both the driver's lives. Two families are definitely grieving at a supposed to be jolliest time of the year.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences go out to the two families who lost their loved one. I'd suggest the families to look into www.deathletters.org. The grieving process is a long and painful one but knowing someone is going through the same thing gets it a little less difficult.
