Drug addicts are just flying down these roads. Just kidding- this was my wife’s first accident in her life and she’s ok. Big thanks to St Mary’s Sheriffs Office and Mr Lawrence Swann who stopped and helped my wife while she waited for the ambulance; it was very kind of him.
I’m so glad she is ok. I see her everyday at the post office and love her to pieces. Take good care of her and tell her to rest. ❤
