    C & T Durham driver was southbound on U.S. 29 between Chatham and Danville, Va. He was climbing White Oak Mountain. The cause has not come out yet. I will keep my opinion to myself. He had a load of yeast in a tanker.

    White Oak Mountain is the site of where "Old '97" wrecked.


    I guess the truck driver was more lucky than the train engineer and crew.

    Ok - here goes. Hang on tight.

    “Officials said Billy, an all purpose driver, was on his usual run - out making bread for his family, when a man in an upper crust BMW sliced his bumper off causing him to crash.

    Billy sadly perished.

    He leaves behind his loving wife, Jane Doe, and a son John. They also had a bun in the oven.

    Services will be held at 350 for 40 minutes.”

    The coroner placed Billy in a bread bag and twist tied it closed.

    Jane Doe picked out a nice bread box for Billy to be buried in. She is left a widow but will rise every morning to pick up the crumbs and move on.

    She did not have a long period of loafing as a nice gentleman named Mister Donut has takin a liking to her. But she is being cautious as there are many holes in his story.
