Headed out about 6:30 tonight to go fishing, made it about 5 minutes down the road, and off goes the page for the Fire Dept. about a rollover accident just a couple of minutes away.
17 year old kid, a few too many beers, a lot too many MPH, and there goes the SUV. The boy's responses were indicative of a head injury, so in comes the chopper to get him to a hospital...
It seems like every 4th of July is full of basically the same thing...people on such a mission to have a good time that they lose all good sense. Last year was full of car accidents, 4 wheeler accidents, one drowning due to God knows what, and a couple of others as a result of boating while intoxicated.
I guess these things are bound to happen, but please, guys and gals, be careful this weekend. It won't always happen to somebody else.
BTW, we never got to throw our lines in tonight, so no fish for the grill tomorrow!
Have a happy and safe 4th of July, everyone.
