How awful. My family's land is around the corner, on Little Creek Church Rd, in Clayton. I've travelled Ranch Road as long as I can remember, and things have changed so much. As fast as the Bypass is being built, I'm surprised there haven't been more accidents. I'll keep his family in my thoughts. Boo
