As an update to your story about the head on collision on Possum Park Rd- I live about 500/1000 ft from the accident. I came home right afterwards and first responders were on the scene when I walked down. I watched them load a female (possibly 35-45 yrs old) into an ambulance, which turned left on Eileen Dr with lights on, but without sirens. The ambulance presumably went out the other entrance of the Chapel Hill neighborhood, as Possum Park road was closed at the time. I’m not sure if the woman was a driver or a passenger. Her neck was immobilized but she did not appear to sustain any life threatening injuries.
