    Yeah, I remember that one. Now weren't there a big lawsuit. If memory serves me right, some girls in a car was involved. Maybe you can bring me up to date.

    Under age and drunk as heck. They found liquor bottles in her car. She left her lane and caused the accident.

    i remember driving by the morning after, the truck and trailer were just bobbing in the water about 500’ or so from the bridge.

    Didn't the state of Maryland turn a blind eye to this? Do you know if there was a Civil Suit? I tried to keep up with it but it slowly faded out of the news.
