UPDATE: Sept. 28th <= their GoFundMe page
Zack Worthington has suffered an horrible tragedy. He was a passenger. His right wrist is broken, scapula/shoulder blade is broken, face is broken, nose, orbital bone, forehead crushed. Bleeding from his brain frontal lobe. In a medically induced coma, and on a ventilator. Doctors stopped the bleeding in his brain, removed the shards of bone. Plastic surgeons will still have to work on the rest of his face but the brain has been #1 priority. They will have to cut a hole in his neck with surgery because they have to realign his jaw and face structure. His jaw will be wired shut. They found that he has a fracture at the base of the skull where there is carotid vessels so they said they were using blue dye to see on a CT scan if it has been damaged which could explain the lameness in the right side of his body. This is serious.

It is the season that deer are on the move. They are moving to their winter yards soon.

They were there when JB took him morning walk. He called me out. The OPP asked us to stay in, as they didn't want us in the crime scene photos. OK, fine.
We went indoors, after we spoke with the officer, and I had to figure out how long my trip would take into town. It'd be 6 minutes going this way! Next, I had to text Caitlin, as they were coming for a sleepover. I said not to leave before phoning to see if the road was open.

I went the long way around into Perth. They'd blocked the road right in Perth.
UPDATE: Sept. 21
I went down Monday morning, after garbage was gone. There was some debris, including a spent flare, and a couple of beer cans.

...life has been a bit boring here and that's fine with me.
WOW! I too am surprised anyone survived. In the park we beg people to slow down because of wildlife. Deer are unpredictable.
It is a shame that people can't seem to use common sense when driving in rural areas .. they are very lucky not to have been killed .. but some how I doubt this incident will stay with them very long .. I am a pessimist when it comes to people and common sense.
I do absolutely love your header picture Jenn ! It is gorgeous !
Thanks for stopping by my blog .. I have a ton of work to do with all the bulbs I have to plant .. I'd better get busy !
I had a friend that was in a car that hit a moose somewhere up your direction years ago. I seem re remember something like 167 stitches to put his head back together and he was told that most people did not survive hitting a moose.
We have had people pulled over on our little road doing 140 kph. Crazy! Too many farm animals as well as deer and other wild animals on the road even here in southern Ontario.
Let me assure you that women can pee in the bush too! It's almost a rite of passage for young biologists doing their first field work in remote areas.
People are in a hurry to go nowhere.
I agree, @David, however in bullet proof vest, with guns on your hip?
Wow, sorry to hear about this.
That is amazing! I'm surprised anybody survived that crash too.
