How terribly awful. No way you could have known that would happen.
That bridge is so dangerous. I got a flat once on it .... limped the car to the IL side. Was coming home from work in north St Louis. I had on a dress so it was obvious I was a woman. Not one car stopped. I remember thinking chivalry is dead. The tire was rear drivers side. I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown watching my husband change that tire. The people were flying by so fast. I had called the Emergency Vehicle service and the guy sat there for us and watched. I just wanted him there hoping to slow people down and to make sure we were alright. It didn't slow those people down a bit.
How terribly heartbeaking this will be for this mans family.
