What time was this wreck close to wakes. I came through there about 4:15 yesterday and saw nothing but some was driving in a hurry. I don't live far from there.

I am curious as to where you rode over an Aquaduct in Watauga county?

My brother and I rode up to Price park and over to the Aquaduct this past tuesday to see the leaves. I'd say they were at full color on the other side of Grandfather. I've never seen the traffic on the parkway as heavy during the week in my life. Traffic bumper to bumper in spots. Every overlook was jambed full of cars.

Thank you @ht I appreciate that information. My dads car is a burnt orange. Hoping he is just waiting out the traffic.

Oh no, how awful!

It looked like a black or navy Accord-style car to me, but please keep in mind it was very dark and it was already on a flatbed. The front end was crumpled up on the driver side. It must have happened right at the corner of South Recreation Road.

Someone passed away from the wreck. Saw the blue tarp and putting them in the ambulance. Prayers for the family.

Any idea what color the little car was? My dad was up that way and now we can't get a hold of him.

What happened? We were on the way home, took a detour, and saw the little car on a flatbed all mangled. There was a Jeep Wrangler involved? Oh goodness, hope they had their hard top on.

Well, north bound is open now. I've never seen a Jeep Wrangler look like that. Holy ****. I've always wanted. Jeep. Scratch that off my wish list.

Pretty much dude,not positive. 421 north has been insane all day.
I'd take 16 just for the heck of it. I have heard that many sirens in years.
BE SAFE OUT THERE...LEAFERS.
I need to buy a billboard for October and november.

Google is trying to detour around 16 instead of going straight up the mountain
