I hope this wasn't one of you folks--Greenville, NC RX7 accident
I hope this wasn't one of our Rx7club friends. I am hearing of too many car vs. farm equipment accidents lately. Looking at the picture, it appears that it may have been dark and the FC RX7 driver came up on an oversized piece of farm equipment on a bridge.

The N.C. Department of Transportation announced Friday that it will close a section of Grimesland Bridge Road next week for bridge repairs.
A rail on the bridge was damaged Thursday night during a wreck. Repairs are set to begin at 9 a.m. Monday and continue through 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, closing the road on both sides of the bridge around the clock until completion, a DOT engineer said.
Thursday night's accident sent two people, Richard and Cindy Craft, of Grimesland to Pitt County Memorial Hospital. Richard Craft was treated and released, an official there said. Cindy Craft was not listed as a patient on the hospital computer.
Their Mazda RX7 was traveling south on the road at about 7 p.m. when it collided with a piece of farm equipment being pulled by a northbound tractor, according to the State Highway Patrol.
The collision sent the 15-foot-wide brush hog through a guard rail and caused the car to spin around, a trooper said. The tractor driver was not injured.
Firefighters and rescuers from Greenville, Grimesland and Pactolus responded to the wreck. An investigation by the Highway Patrol was continuing.
DOT's suggested detour, a 26.3 mile trek, sends motorists down U.S. 264 West to U.S. 264 Alt/N.C. 33 East (Greenville Boulevard), left onto N.C. 33 East (10th Street) and back to Grimesland Bridge Road.
