Lovely County Citizen

Say it with flowers -- Someone whose heart was cracked Monday afternoon was thoughtful enough to build a rock vase and fill it with fresh flowers after a tragic motorcycle accident on the Leatherwood Bridge took the young life of Dylan Stoia, 26. When we can't speak, fresh flowers express our sorrow and let strangers know we have lost one of our own. Thank you, Dylan, for letting us know you. Dylan's passenger, Shenelle Maisonneuve, 28, is in St. John's Hospital -- Springfield.

How sad, that bridge seems to be like the bermuda triangle, so many people disappear going over it, meaning have accidents or die. There is something very evil or dangerous with that bridge.

Also type error: its now mercy hospital.

I find it interesting that some blame the bridge. Dylan chose to pass five cars on a double yellow line with clear sight of an oncoming vehicle. He apparently had little regard for his female passenger. Perhaps blame should lay in his failure to operate a motor vehicle safely. Maybe he had drugs in his system.

Have you asked about how the young man he smashed head on into feels? No, he was not hurt, at least badly, but can you imagine having that image of a wild man speeding at a high rate of speed directly into your path with no way to avoid him?
