A tragic accident occurred on I-84 yesterday, leaving 9 people dead and many more injured just east of Pendleton. Most likely, the tragedy occurred due to icy roads. I've traveled that stretch of freeway so often, and it is often treacherous. This wreck is a reminder to all of us that safe, defensive driving in safe vehicles is the only way to travel in winter storms. Although the name of the bus company has yet to be released as of this blogging, there will likely be several lawsuits against it's liability policy. The families of the victims of this tragedy will soon learn that money will never, ever compensate for their loss. I hope that, if they choose to do so, they will seek reputable legal counsel who can help them deal with the insurance companies while they concentrate on healing.
