    I did not know where to put this bit of info. Mods feel free to move it. This hits close to home, an FxF driver died last Thursday night in an accident. Wrong way driver going north on I89 in the south bound lane. FxF driver tried to avoid but still contacted the Bmw and wound up rolling over on the driver side. 35 years old, never met him but 2 times a week I passed him going south. Always waved at me and gave me lights when I would pass. Why does it hit close to home? My daughter is 2 and a half years older than him. I called off last Wednesday cause I was sick. If I would have left my Eol in Williston I would have been passing him at the place of the accident. I may have been involved too. I won't post the drives name on here. But I will post the POS car driver's name. Gabriel Vestal of Rochester New Hampshire. Drugs and alcohol were in his system. RIP driver. Any FxF driver that feels it ok to post drivers name can do so.

    I heard about that, truly awful. The POS drunk driver was 19 years old and driving what I can only assume was his parents BMW 7 series. I hope they throw the book at him, but that background just screams privileged brat who gets away with everything.

    The fact that he was only charged with DUI is not a great signal towards justice for the FedEx driver’s family.
