There was another pretty bad wreck last night on I-95 behind the house, a car it a highway sign and it looked like there were two people injured, they med flighted one out from the accident scene. The accident scene was the same location where the Big Lots truck wrecked a few months back and took out the same highway sign, the road is as straight as it can behind the house.
