Ty's Take
We've got three serious vehicle accidents scattered across the region this week, which is the kind of pattern that tends to catch your eye when you're paying attention. A man down in Morgan County on an ATV, another wreck involving a motorcycle over in Camden County with injuries that sound significant, and that's just what made it into the news cycle. The holidays are coming up and people get in a hurry, or they figure they know these roads well enough to take chances they shouldn't. If you're heading out on anything with two or four wheels around here in the next few weeks, it's worth remembering that familiarity with a road isn't the same thing as safety on it.
