#2.1 Concord Resident on 06/14/10 at 03:03 PM

It happened on the square right in front of the PJR office.

#2.2 Anonymous on 06/15/10 at 03:58 AM

Did you push her for that pic. lol

#3 Pedestrian on 06/14/10 at 03:25 PM

I've almost been hit there myself a few times. Traffic needs to slow down on the Square. People drive too hard going around the corners.

#4 thinker on 06/14/10 at 03:29 PM

HELP!I'VE FALLEN AND CANT GET UP!

#4.1 Sheila Tolley on 06/14/10 at 04:47 PM

Rude.

If you can't drive it don't buy it!

#6 Speed Racer on 06/14/10 at 06:12 PM

People don't belong in the roadway. They make sidewalks. Don't walk on train tracks either, they are made for trains.

Oppps!!! looks like she waz in da cross-walk. Better call Ken Nuggett "The Accident Attorney.

If the local bank located at the North end and an owner of some rental property at the South end of Zebulon didn't have influence, Zebulon would have remained a nice beautiful town with a Bypass around it. But they used up all their influence and monopoly money on that one. Now we are stuck with an ugly situation.

#7.1 intheknow on 06/15/10 at 07:06 AM

the banker you refer to would have prefered the bypass because they own most of the land that would be bought for the bypass do some search before you make a reakkas of urself and while ure searching look n see whose land would jump in value cause of the buypass she pushed for it to

Was the light green or red when he was turning right? If it was green then she is an idiot cause the traffic coming and going thru the light, if it was red then he is.

#8.1 fat bass tard on 06/15/10 at 11:30 AM

1 - he was turning left so the light should have been green

2 - pedestrians generally have a walk signal when someone is turning onto the street they are crossing

3 - in nearly all cases regardless, the pedestrian has the right-of-way.

#8.2 Anonymous on 08/10/10 at 10:46 AM

your the idiot she had the red light and the pedestrian always has the right away

#9 Anonymous on 06/15/10 at 07:05 AM

Do you people understand that some times accidents happen we dont need a lawyer and its not because of anyone or anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Some people always has so much to say unless it them or their family and they try to keep eveeryones mouth shut!

#10 some shyster on 06/15/10 at 07:32 AM

Ooh boy, I smell a lawsuit!!!

#11 Josh Harland on 06/15/10 at 09:49 AM

tell me that isent chad bragg with his shirt off he looks like a depressed ----- Please comment the harland

#11.1 emmett callaway on 06/15/10 at 01:20 PM

josh harland you are so inconsiderate. this incident with chad bragg is all just a big misunderstanding ask whyat johnson there is a conspiracy behind this and the ditch wizard will figure this thing out.

#12 ram her!! on 06/15/10 at 11:27 AM

If you cant dodge a truck stay on the sidewalk. I'm sure if she didn't see the truck, she should've heard it. And Ive seen and heard Avery Bragg's truck. Its Big enough to see, and loud as heck. So attention all pedestrians, "look at the little guy on the crosswalk, if he is walking, you can go. If you see a orange hand, do NOT walk" Remember we all learned this in grade school.I really hope Ken Nuggent laughs at the lady when she calls.

#12.1 COURTHOUSE on 06/21/10 at 07:15 AM

Mrs. Caldwell walks to the post office on a daily bases. She ALWAYS uses the crosswalk as she should and you are such an idiot (ram her) lets hope that you or your family member ever gets hit. Drivers as well as pedestrians have to pay attention also. I hope she is in good health and I pray for the young man, because this could have been worse.

#13 Anonymous on 06/15/10 at 11:28 AM

Yeah we understand accidents happen. But if the light was green for him then why would you walk thru the intersection. There are signs there that say walk or don't walk. There for it wouldn't be an accident it would be called an idiot for not looking both ways and paying attention to signs. If it was red and she was walking he wasn't paying attention to pedestrians like an idiot.

#14 Another opinion on 06/15/10 at 11:49 AM

It's possible that she didn't make it to the other side before the don't walk sign came up and when his light turned green, he just turned without looking.

#15 vic on 06/15/10 at 04:10 PM

ovbviously, none of you were there. that's completely messed up that you would say this. accidents happen. i'm sure all of you have done things a lot worse than this. and i highly doubt he's depressed, trust me, i know him. :] how about if you don't have anything better to say, stay off this thing.

#16 me on 06/15/10 at 04:50 PM

This is for those of you who do not understand the law concerning right of ways. If he was turning left from 19 and had a green light, he MUST yield to people in the crosswalk. If he had a red light then he couldn't turn at all. Some (not all) of you idiots that post on this site really make me sad for your kids!!

#17 cum quat on 06/15/10 at 10:48 PM

dang nice truck .

P.S. Does your login name have anything to do or related to the wine made by Thierry you know that's their label. If not still very interesting login and your comments are always right on target. Glad to share reading of blogs with you.

#19.1.2.1 fat bass tard on 06/16/10 at 02:28 PM

it was originally the character from Austin Powers but every time i wrote "fat bastard" it was edited (probably is now) so fat bass tard was born.

didn't know there was a wine by that name. i'll have to give it a try.

#19.1.3 Justice on 06/16/10 at 12:15 PM

Could be, but with a name like yours I wouldn't think you should be questioning another persons appearance.

#19.1.3.1 fat bass tard on 06/16/10 at 02:29 PM

i shelter several families under my muffin top

but they can still put my picture in the paper. then I'd be famous.

#19.2 Anonymous on 06/16/10 at 09:41 AM

I agree. It was tasteless and looks like he is reaching for material to post. Horrible! Guess the creativity wasn't flowing that day.

#19.2.1 duh on 06/16/10 at 10:27 AM

It happened and therefore it was news worthy ... shouldn't be creative with news anyway, just report it.

#19.2.1.1 duh huh on 06/16/10 at 01:24 PM

Not every thing that 'happens' is reported, is it still newsworthy then?

#19.3 Anonymous on 06/16/10 at 12:30 PM

Wow. What a nice community of folks we have here.

#19.3.1 fat bass tard on 06/18/10 at 10:04 PM

#23.2 Amazingest on 06/19/10 at 01:52 PM

Isn't Sheila Walter's paid blogger? Does David Rawlins get paid, too? Let's pay GJM. He needs a job, too.

#23.2.1 David Rawlins on 06/21/10 at 01:56 PM

I run my own company so Walter doesn't have to pay me.

I simply come here to deal with the wonderful anonymouse bloggers like yourself.
