The hazards of driving – something most of us do daily without giving it a second thought – are ever-present.
That message was painfully driven home less than a month ago with the tragic crash that killed talented attorney Elizabeth Olszewski and longtime police officer Jennifer Diener.
There was another reminder Tuesday afternoon with a crash at Highway 36 and Browns Lake Drive that required one of the drivers be transported by Flight for Life helicopter for specialized medical treatment.
An article on the crash is among the top stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press. The newspaper will be available at local retail outlets on Thursday. Subscribers will receive their copies with Thursday’s mail.
