A 21 year old male driver from Armstrong is under investigation with speed and alcohol thought to be factors.

McCune says it didn’t take long for the grim news to trickle through the community of 3,000 residents.

“I have a couple of her friends that work for me, so they both called in relatively early to say they wouldn’t be in. Even today as people heard, I got calls all day from people that were just devastated and shocked,” McCune tells Kiss FM.
