Why is it every time there’s an accident the road is closed for eternity. You have modern technology now, put up a drone take photos etc. Back in the day we marked the spot where the vehicles were. Whey I drove past this particular seen they were all standing around looking at each other. No sign of the injured motorist. SMH!
Back in the day it only took one police officer to investigate and possibly one to direct traffic. Now it takes a whole squad of police officers to look at a scene.
But photographs from a drone will not be sufficient. The would not provide an accurate scale.
