Dad shoots, kills Dept. of Corrections truck driver who fatally struck son, police say

[Red Mountain]

161. Correct. Not true. It's not a busy road.

it's not a main artery. Just a side road you can take. Faster ways to get to where most people are going first thing.

Mostly open land with a few houses.

I rarely see more than a car or two when I traverse it.

Based on the news footage I think it was along here:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dink+Ashley+Rd,+North+Carolina+27583/@36.3027232,-78.9390917,890m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x89ad17245c513beb:0x37f9d1bbe6ef1bce!8m2!3d36.3053084!4d-78.9421923!16s%2Fg%2F1tk70cn8?entry=ttu

but not sure if that was where the accident happened or where the shooter was arrested. The road is only about 1.5 miles long so not much difference.

I live about 10 miles away.

Normal deer experience in these parts.

One deer jumped off a bank and landed in front of me. Had a second to brake but damaged the car. Drove home. Deer had a broken leg but disappeared when I went back to finish it off. Hope it made it. They are TOUGH.

One ran under the front right wheel from the undergrowth. No time to break. No damage to the car. Probable KIA. Not possible to stop. Busy road.

One jumped off a bank and slid under my REAR right tire. Slowed down and hoped but.... No damage to the car. Slamming on the brakes would have made a bad thing worse. KIA.

Last one did a face plant into my right front quarter panel (dented) and ran off. I was sliding to a stop and managed to avoid the other 12. Still can visualize that deer's face smushed up against the window. Probably OK.

Don't even get me started on how NC became (for a while) the Good Roads State. Most paved mileage in the country.

Also, narrow roads with no shoulder. Makes walking on the road more attractive for pedestrians but down the middle is still a bit unusual.
