I wonder if it’s a DUI that turned tragic, and people are crying about a Bar closing. What a world we live in today
It never fails to amaze me that they close the entire interstate flow to investigate a car accident. All other places I’ve lived they just move the wreckage to the side, and let the cars go. Close a lane or two, but not the whole road!
Yep, accident investigators show up, take their pictures, and then drag that stuff to the shoulder. El Paso is the only place I’ve lived that refuses to do what every other city does… keep traffic flowing.
Seattle does it too.
Ouch! That’s going to leave a mark.
2:30 am speeding, swerving in and out of traffic. When will people learn they are not bullet proof. This child has not only killed herself but she has destroyed her Parents and Family futures also
Sad but preventable.
21. Just a kid with her whole life ahead of her. Gone for no reason.
Don’t often agree with you on the issues, but here, you’re right on the mark.
You do know you are agreeing with an idiot and he is not real. Another schizo voice in Alberto’s demented mind.
Let’s call him alberta’s charlie variant!
The El Paso County Coroner did confirm she died from covid complications.
You are as stupid as YOUR SORRY MAMA!
alberta’s elptech variant!
Speed killed her.
It’s Alberto the only nitwit in El Paso that rants at 2:00am.
I already told hos charlie variant that I will be at albertsons on redd at 1pm today.
He will be a no show. All talk no action as usual. Alberto never leaves his libtard bubble and basement.
Leaving the house at 11:50 on the nose.
Showtime at the Appollo
It’s after 1:00pm. He will be a no showtime.
Was there from 11:55 to 12: 25. Went home and put up groceries then returned there until 1:15. No show either time. Stood in front of main entrance wearing my agency three letter logo. Ray Charles could have seen it.
Let’s see, 2:30 AM, high speed, reckless driving. I am certain that she was on her way to church and alcohol was not involved.
Also a freak accident and grizzly death. The guardrail penetrated the car and killed her.
He’s a coward. He won’t show up
Showtime at the Appollo He didn’t, and I went there twice. The only way alberto’s charlie variant will do anything is in a drive by or an ambush.
I almost went though. Would’ve been nice to actually meet you. This town is so short on America first Patriots. Unfortunately I’m on the other side of the mountain.
Yeah, I usually don’t go east over the mountain unless I am going on Bliss.
