How is this accident playing elsewhere in the US, or world for that matter?
It has troubled me greatly for several reasons...1. the overwhelming loss of life, and young life at that; 2. the growing mystery surrounding the wrong way driver; and (mostly) 3. how close my wife and children in one car, and myself in another came to being involved.
I was traveling, by myself, on the same road, at the same time, as the driver was before things went bad and my wife, and kids, missed the accident by 5 minutes. They were going up to drop my older one off at camp that afternoon on the Taconic and had passed the impact just minutes before the accident...in fact, its very possible that they passed the exit ramp the driver came onto as she was coming on the parkway.
Its a close call and I am chilled by the whole story. I was wondering if I am alone in this regard.
