MVA closes Route 5 in Calaway area

[SandieGarry]

My son and his friend were coming out of the Chinese restaurant in Callaway and saw the first hit. They said he had to be doing 100mph. Hit a van then took off plowing cars off the road as he went.

It figures, the innocent people are the real victims here. Such bright live cut short. So senseless.

So they caught him. Good.

His actions tonight changed a lot of people's lives forever. I hope if there were drugs or alcohol involved, they string him up.

Very sad.

How absolutely horrific and my heart goes out to those innocent lives lost.

FYI, I just tried to come home via Route 5 NB from Great Mills about 15 minutes ago and the road is still closed just past the Food Lion shopping center. The workers directing traffic said it will probably stay closed for several more hours.

I would not be able to be a rescue worker. I would have a complete meltdown if I arrived on a scene like this. Thank God we have people who can handle jobs like this.

I know when I got on scenes like these your adrenalyn is kicked in and you just do the job. Emergencies involving small kids and animals get to me the most after the emergency.
