Please follow up on recent accident

Please, continue your report about the traffic accident on southbound I-5 Dec 21. You had a short article about it in your Saturday paper. It indicated that you lacked more information. Neither the Sunday nor Monday issue even mentioned that accident anymore. Was it alcohol related? Who was involved? Was it an accident?

I-5 was a parking lot for a very long time. What really happened? If it really was alcohol-related, why not report it? At least these criminals should be shamed in the paper, as they endanger all of us and cost us precious time.

Inquiring minds want to know whose fault it was that people arrived late for work last Friday!

Thank you!
