WOW, What a shame!
Being on vacation this week in Florida, we spent Monday and most of Tuesday at Clearwater Beach before heading over to Orlando for Universal and the NCRS meet late Tuesday afternoon. We traveled I-4 between Clearwater Beach and Orlando. About 20 miles from Orlando there were some fires burning of the road away and there were guys posted keeping an eye on them. This morning we got up to the tragic news of the 70 vehicle crash that happened this morning in the same spot as we saw the smoke. Visibility was at almost zero per cent due to the smoke and fog that settled overnight. Some of the witnesses said they were driving along and suddenly visibility dropped. What a tragedy, at this point at least 4 are dead with at least 35-40 hospitalized, several in trauma units not expected to make it. In the blink of an eye tragedy can strike any of us changing our lives forever. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those involved in the wreck and to those who may know someone involved. Also to all those involved with the rescue effort, this will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
Regards,
Shooter
