On the way up to Laughlin on Friday night around 630pm we look over to the south side of the 40 (just south of Needles) and see a few tow trucks and a couple chp's. We look up the hill right by the units and see there was a car that had rolled over end over end and side over side, top was crushed down to the doors..(I hope they were ok.) Did not look good at all....
Then Saturday morning we were heading out to LA while driving down the 15 and just outside of barstow (south of barstow) a blue extended cab pickup with 3 people still stuck inside had just rolled over, about 20 people already there trying to help and they waved us on but we could see that there was still 3 people stuck inside and they could not get the doors open. Dont know the status of the passengers. (again looked real bad and I hope they were all OK)...
After our visit in LA for a few hours we decided to drive back to the river and since we knew the 15 pass was packed we decided to take the 10 out to rice road and up to the river. About 20 minutes outside of Morango we almost got hit by 2 chipies flying past us, we get down the road about 5 more minutes and we see another fresh roll over, this one was real bad to..not sure what happened to the people hope they are ok (medics on scene) All three of them gave me that uneasy feeling in my stomach that someone did not make it....
What is the reason for my post...Just wanted everyone to drive safe, don't rush and be careful...In all the years of driving thousands and thousands of miles a year I have never ever seen this many bad accidents in such a short time...:(
