-It was certainly before 9am.
-If a tractor trailer hit it, why was a van smashed up against it?
-It was outside Supermart on Reid street, not on the corner of Reid & Court.
Not surprised…seeing the way that those D&J trucks come out of the docks first thing in the morning with containers at those 2second traffic lights..definitely not surprised at all!
Why was a tractor trailer on the road at that time of day, seems to be that the restrictions are ignored or more likely is that the cops don’t even know about them
