Cars only or a bicyclist?  For some reason I think there are a lot of bicyclists in that area.

 

I heard a ton of sirens about an hour ago.

I'm assuming Folsom Auburn.

 

Oh no... worried about these poor folks.  It's not even that fast a road.

She didn't say too much other than what I saw. Bosses are taking her into a private room.

 

A bit rattled, I guess.

what is FA?

 

Folsom Aquatic Center?  If it's between there and Walmart on Glenn wouldn't that be right in front of the fire station?

There is like a mile worth of road between Folsom Auburn and Walmart on Glenn. Probably happened between FA and Sibley.

Well the road is cordoned off in front of Kikkoman. There are firetrucks and other emergency vehicles right in front of their parking lot gate

 

So, even though I haven't seen the accident, I still think it was located between the Folsom Auburn / Glenn Intersection and the next road up- which I believe is Sibley.

It looks as though some of the people are planning on being there a while. I'm surprised nothing has come in from Nixle, yet.

 

During my afternoon break some of my coworkers and I will walk up the willow trail. Hopefully the accident hasn't caused major damage to the eco balance of the swamp and stuff.

 

As far as the people in the accident, we will have to wait on further news from reliable sources. Anything less, I think would be irresponsible as I wasn't at the scene.

The helicopter is leaving now. I just saw it go up. Awful long time to wait for rescue. Hope for the best

that is a wide curving road.  I think people try to take it too fast.  Sorry to hear about the accident.
