2 People Killed, 3 Injured In Crash in Downtown Grand Forks

Just horrifying news 💔 😢

I am aware that my comment has only a slight bearing on this particular accident, but for several years I have thought that DeMers is the most dangerous road to drive on in our community. There is something about DeMers – especially west of Washington – that brings out the worst in drivers (very high speeds, reckless driving, etc.) ….just my opinion.
So sad, my prayers are with u all.
Jenessa was a very close friend and coworker of mine. She had a seizure last summer and went for all the required testing necessary and was medically cleared with no known cause of the seizure to drive again just about two months ago. This was truly the definition of a tragic accident that no one could have prevented. She had a seizure behind the wheel and her legs locked up on the gas pedal, causing the first accident they call a “hit and run” and her passenger and best friend Shelby tried to keep the car on the road, which is why they were in the center lane going 90 mph. Prayers for all of the families involved in this horrific accident.
