Ok Howlin,

I am going to take this very slow for you. I have even tied half my brain behind my back so I can explain to you.

First of all I never disputed what you state from Nash County 911.

But since you have made assumption after assumption about this one piece of data...I will show how you are wrong on two key points:

First you made the statement that it is a single car accident.

Let's read the piece from Nash County 911 - it says...am I going slowly enough for you:

...had notified the Highway Patrol of a TRAFFIC COLLISION - so how does one take the word traffic and translate that into one vehicle and then apply collision (which of course implies that two objects are colliding with one another) and come out with A SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT.

Of course me on the other hand just stuck with what they said and didn't leap to your conclusion. We will see what comes out of the investigation. Somebody did call 911 so there must have been a witness or someone was part of the accident and left the scene.

Ok now on to the second point...
You said EMS and HP got out of their cars and searched the area.

Now lets go back read the next part...very slowly...

it clearly states...were never able to LOCATE A COLLISION (which would imply at least two vehicles sitting there in a wreck) at the location or SEE any debris. No where does it state that they got out of the car and looked around or did a thorough inspection...yada yada ya.

However now when you look at the video that you claim has any and all of the facts pertaining to this tragedy you can clearly see the rather clear and large set of skid marks traveling through the grass and into the creek. It would seem to me that is someone got out of their car and looked carefully they would have seen that.

So now I ask you...how am I wrong?

You said EMS and HP got out of their cars and searched the area.

I never said that; I asked you how you know that they didn't?

FGS, you just make stuff up, don't you?

Go and rewatch the video you claimed you watched; their own son-in-law thinks it was a single car accident.

I disagree with your definition of the word "collision". You do not have to hit or be hit by another car to have a collision. The car could have collided with a deer as was previously mentioned. I live in eastern NC and the deer are very overpopulated. You can see them on the road in broad daylight and the early morning hours would be a time when a deer could easily have suddenly bounded out of the woods and run in front of their car. The car is definitely reported to have collided with a tree which could have caused the damage I saw on Greta's program. At this point, we are all speculating as to what caused them to leave the highway, but falling asleep at the wheel causes your foot to really press on the accelerator and they could have left the road and hit the tree with quite some force. The impact could have injured or stunned them enough so that they were unable to escape from the car in time.

A similar thing happened to the daughter of one of my sweet elderly friends. The car ran off the road and landed upside down in a drainage ditch that only had a couple of feet of water in it and she tragically drowned before anyone found the car - and it was right off the side of the road. I don't know if the Freepers remember the severe flooding that NC received in 1999 as a result of Hurricane Floyd, but the Rocky Mount-Nash County area was one of the most severely affected areas due to the Tar River and its many tributaries.
