One Night Surprise

Chapter 466 It Reeked of Blood

“In today’s morning news, multiple accounts of car accidents have been recorded happening in and out of the city caused by obstructed vision due to heavy rain. A multiple-vehicle collision had occurred on Stoughton Overpass at 8:05AM. A truck driver who was driving under the influence of alcohol had caused the accident that left 12 victims injured. A few ambulances from the nearest hospital, Melrose City Hospital, have already arrived at the scene.”
