So, crashing into someone’s house didn’t do him in so he had to use a shot gun. Thankfully, he didn’t decide to take out a few innocent children with him.

Pete is one of my husband’s customers. (sprinkler)

The story is that the guy was traveling at high speed in a residental area, (maybe under the influence). He crashed through Pete’s yard and hit a telephone poll.

His wife was in the car with him, and he left her at the scene unconscious. (she’s okay now)

He went home and shot himself. Maybe thinking he had killed his wife, or that his blood alcohol level would put him in jail.

You’re right, weird.

Is the Secretary’s house located on a curve after a long stretch? In middle Tennessee these “accidents” occur so often wise homeowners erect barriers...some scarred as testament to their wariness.

Sad and very tragic.

Only a slight curve.

My husband says neighbors said the guy was from Geren’s area, he was drinking and had been arguing with the wife.
