    Double Shocker- Taconic Pkwy accident

    Unfortunately, I knew too well the name of the woman in the Taconic Parkway tragedy.

    However, the double shock came this morning as we learned that a passenger in the Copiague/Montauk highway crash was also a patient in our office.

    May they rest in peace.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    A very sad story that was up in Westchester.

    The on-ramp that she entered is the same one that I get off at to visit my sister. My brother is a firefighter at Briarcliff, the first responders. I am grateful that my brother wasn't on duty at the time to have to witness the aftermath.

    :(

    I believe she was an exec with Cablevision if I am right. R.I.P and best wishes to the entire clan and family.

    She was a Director.

    I live right near where the accident was and apparently someone was drag racing and a car hit into a minivan, 3 people died. When I passed by it looked like a shooting until I saw the mini van, I thought to myself how can anyone survive this.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.

    Yes we knew the people in both incidents. But the newest post I put up refers to the Taconic one.

    Ahh, sorry, I thought that was the more recent Wantagh wreck.

    Yep Southern state has gotten so bad. Many drive agressively, weave, pass on the right, tailgate and cut you off. All at speeds in excess of 80 and above. The state police have definately lost control of that road. It's bad.

    I can't believe she was drunk and high. Eight people dead because of her stupidity. I've been thinking a lot about that crash, wondering what it could have been.
