Story 1

Dangerous Accident


A deadly accident occurred, leaving two dead, and many seriously hurt. A chain reaction started on Interstate 790, around 6:45 am when two tractor trailers collided. The accident caused more than just injuries and deaths; but left morning rush hour traffic with hour delays.


The tractor trailer driver came out with no injuries, but two people in vehicles that followed, were killed. Two people were in critical condition and flown by helicopter to Memorial Hospital in Statesville. 20 others had to be sent to the local hospital.

Investigations are still questioning the incident. The police departments preliminary reports explain that the result of the chain reaction came from two tractor trailers that collided, going northbound on Interstate 790. Leaving multiple vehicles to crash into each other. Sgt. Albert Wei, of the police department, concluded that four tractor trailers, and 14 vehicles were involved.

Many ambulances, emergency workers, and fire fighters from near by cities attended the bloody scene to help the injured. Workers from other cities arrived at the scene as well. Tony Sullivan, Fire Chief, described, "In 18 1/2 years he had never seen anything like this."

The incident that occurred not only left many injured, but also left morning rush hour traffic in hours of delay. I-790 was still closed at 10:00 am leaving Interstate 690, on the east side, used for backup. The delay caused a good three extra hours in the morning traffic.

Introduction

Hello Everyone,


I'm Kaylee Hanowski!!!! Nice to meet ya!

I took this class for something different. I wanted to do something more independent, and I figured I'd take an online class. When this was an option, I thought this would suit me well. In the future, I plan on becoming a Graphic Designer, or get into Videography, and or a mix of both. If its to hard to find something in that area, I would like to work in a news studio as a producer, anchor, or reporter. So I have many options! I have already been accepted to the Central Lakes College in Staples, MN. I start there next fall! There I will be studying my Videography and Graphic Design.

I currently work at Anytime Fitness in Cambridge, I work few hours, but if you want to sign up let me know!

I also just got a job at Walgreens Photo, as a Photo Tech! Wahoo, go me! :)


I love to travel. I've been to Hawaii, Florida, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Washington D.C., Bahamas, and whatever else! There's still some exploring left to do I'd say. I've never been out of the United States, so that's something that remains at the bottom of my bucket list.

Hobbies consist of movie making, writing, photography, talking, laughing, and anything that can keep me entertained for more than 5 minutes.




 I hope to obtain things like creativeness, and insight this semester. I want a feel for journalism and what it's like. I hope to get familiar with writing, and I also hope it finds me.
