Traffic Accident on Oakland Street

Reported by Patrick Hodynski

About 7 am on Friday, October 9, 2020 a crash occurred between two SUVs on the 4600 block of Oakland Street in Northwood.

Neighbors report hearing a loud bang, and looked out to observe 5 young people climb out of the red SUV and run away.  The black SUV was parked and unoccupied.
Police report that the overturned SUV was obviously going at a high rate of speed, and that it was not at the time reported stolen. Items such as jewelry and drug paraphernalia were scattered about the scene in and around the vehicle.  Traffic was detoured during investigation.

To Be Free

To be free

If, I could stand on a mountain, and I can see as far as I can see.
If, I could swim in the ocean, and have the waves rush over me.
If, at night I could hear the wolf howling, as it echoes through the trees.
If, I could run through the forest, and have the leaves crushed under my feet.
If, there’s nothing holding me, then this – must be what it feels like – to be free.
