BRACK: Two scary instances when driving for take-out food
By Elliott Brack | Headed out last week to pick up take-out food, two incidents gave me pause. It was about 6:15 p.m. when I turned on Holcomb Bridge Road, heading west, with little traffic in this lane. However, oncoming easterly traffic was unusually heavy. By then, it was fully dark, as we were back to standard time.
