The four lane hiway ran along the front of the mountain range. It rose over ridges and across gradual valleys. This early morning found the valleys filled with thick patchy fog. The two door sport sedan spead in the fast lane tempting fate and the forces that be. Inside the young family of three raced to meet family for Christmas.
Which statistic would they become? Another holiday tragedy ending in instant death or a close call going unrecorded.
Ignoring conditions of limited visibility the speedometer remained glued to 75 mph. Think of all those presents and the anxious embrace of close relatives. There was no traffic and the roads were dry. Throw caution out the window!
