No Names?
-
they don't usually release names unless it's a fatality. and even then, next of kin must be notified first.
-
Any one hear anything else yet?
-
hopefully the person is doing ok in the hospital, no name released is a good thing right now . :( Speedy recovery and best wishes to those involved

Good news, Aaron stopped by the store today and it wasn't him in the crash. Still no more info on who was in the crash.
