Julie, you wrote, "Amanda Jean Blessum died after losing control of her car on San Vicente Road on Monday. The vehicle was hit by a propane tanker." The facts reported is that she lost crontrol of her car which led her to cash into the propane tanker, not the other way around. I ask that you proof read your reports before sending them into cyber space for all to read. There was more than just one family effected due to this unfortunate incident. Thank you

In addition to my post above I would like to send my deepest regrets to the family of Amanda Blessum. I cannot imagine what you are going through and pray that in time may you find peace.

I would also like to leave a heart full of empathy for the poor driver of the propane tanker. I know that your life too has been deeply touched and I send you prayers that the memory of this horrible accident is quickly erased from your brain.

I understand that the situation is difficult for everyone. The way we word reports is based on both the Medical Examiner's report and the Highway Patrol's report and is designed to be neutral and fact-based. Our reports are carefully and repeatedly reviewed before posting and are based on standard journalistic practices. Thanks for reading.

My daughter was behind Amanda and witnessed the accident. She stopped traffic going east by blocking the road with her vehicle, called 911 as she was checking for vital signs while the driver of the propane truck stopped traffic going west. My prayers and sympathy for Amanda's family and friends AND for Richard, the driver of the truck, who will have that horrible accident on his mind forever. I wish no one had to endure the pain of this tradgedy. My daughter is pretty traumatized having witnessed it all in person. My condolances and may you cherish the memories of the happier days of Amanda's life and find comfort that Amanda did not suffer.

We are so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I have four children of my own and can't imagine what you're going through. My prayers and sympathy go out to you and your family. -The Carlson Family-

I totally agree with this C.C.!! How awful to see our trees treated in this most disrespectful way!Read More Not only does driving nails into the trees open them up to disease, it looks so very tacky! Come on, folks, isn't there a better way to advertise your yard sales???

I think signs should have an date & address on them, that way if they are left up afterwards,Read More there would be some way to fine people. Place the fine on the property. I love garage sales, and signs are necessary, but they have to come down afterwards.
