No the Gazette doesnt really take deletions seriously, after a said ammount of "removal suggestions" they deleate it. So if it was rude sounding to enough people thats why.
It is sad that people take here say and try to make it facts though - glad hes ok.

Carpool thank you so much!!!! He is going to be okay with no serious injuries!! He had someone looking over him today and keeping him safe and the other driver also.Thank You carpool for stopping and assisting because not everyone does stop and that means alot, hopefully others will read what you did and will do the same if ever faced in that situation! Very scary but thank god my brother will be okay!!

It would be interesting to know the Gazette's reason for removing weezer's comment. I know they take deletions seriously, so it's probably a good reason. When I read it I just blew it off.

I was the first person to reach this unfortunate (yet fortunate to be alive) young man.. My father and I were driving directly behind him. His phone was completely smashed and in his hand when I reached him, but he said he must have fallen asleep at the wheel. Either way, I truely hope he is ok. My thoughts and regards to him and his family.

lindseych.....I am so sorry for peoples speculation. The "Gazette Blogers" are always quick to jump to conclusion and post there opinion. Its not right and I hope your friend makes it through this ok. My thoughts and prayers are with oyu and his family. Im surprised the person who posted the phone comment didn't post he was drunk as well.

Again I just wanted those reading this to know it was not a PHONE that caused this accident!!! Those who have nothing better to do but spread hurtful lies please remember this is a person a young man who is in the hospital and his mother and father can read your comments and they hurt. Please only report truth not speculation or lies.

That comment was a lie he fell asleep at the wheel and thank god for the semi driver who tried avoiding hitting him. I know this is a family member of mine..don't spread hurtful stories. Does anyone really believe in an impact you could hold your phone? Come on now! Have some respect Please!!!

freeradical - why don't you just pair up with a free electron already?

Ok ok ok, now I'm the A-hole because I thought I read Cty M, not A. haha
*foot in mouth*
Sorry spikesmom, just used to less thought in the form of a question around here I guess.

.....duh.
They'll open up the roads whenever they're done cleaning up the accident.
Did you expect there to be a specific, set time they stated they'll be done?
Come on,think.

Does anyone know when Cty. A is going to re-open?

weezer...very interesting...thanks for the post...but where did you get that info? Especially about the (crushed) phone? Cops and EMTs don't usually pass out that kind on info.

No phone use unless you are pulled over. People still don't pay attention with hands free devices.

Whoa! With Cty A already closed for bridge work, this will put a lot of traffic on Cty M. Hope it's cleaned up quickly.
