Wider if they knew or were friends, more-than friends or, GOD FORBID, kin?

THE FOG WAS REAL BAD THIS MORNING, I DROVE THE ALTERNATE ROUTE TO C-BAR RANCH FOR A WEDDING AND DROVE ABOUT 40 MPH ALL THE WAY WITH 100 FOOT VISIBILITY AT BEST.
There were two separate accidents at the same area where my brother stopped to help, a lady flagged him for help because she couldn’t get reception on her cell phone. While he was calling for help another car came along and hit him head on and he was sent to the hospital by Ambulance too. But the state troopers didn’t report it, he has the case number and some paperwork they gave him after talking to him at the Shands hospital.
