Really sad to see this morning and now reading that it was almost 3 hrs before I drive by… the least they could have done was covered him up in that time.
Its really disheartening to read that the accident happen at 0230-0300. I drove by there at 0520 and it looked like the deceased was left uncovered and no one else was around. Why was he left out so long?
