one bad morning drive...

Just west of Minden at approximately 7:57 am, a Kearney man died after colliding with a semi-truck. The deceased was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, whilst the unharmed semi-driver was. This may sound like an attempt show my backing on the issues of seat-belts and the importance they have in our day-t0-day commutes, but mainly I just want to point out that there was no reports of rubberneckers slowing the pace of our county police and ambulance aid. Perhaps this can be attributed to the fact that this wasn't happening in downtown Kearney and didn't involve a gun, or perhaps it is because it was too early for all those people that dont have jobs to be up and looming, waiting for some kind of drastic event to take place so that they can all run down to the corner and stretch their necks to search out the macabre. Too often in our community, and virtually any community around, if there is an instance of trouble that reaches the radio and internet fast enough, swarms of people will find their way to street corners and sidewalks surrounding the happenings, clogging up any chance of help to have easy access if need be.
