I remember the sentence was incredibly light. Alan Cole pretty much went off the radar after that. That year I was in the last month or so of my undergrad at WVU, and heard about it via letter from one of my friends. I didn't know any of the families although I partied at the Patuxent ponds in my mid teens. That particular corner, as mentioned above, was a common spot for accidents and the guard rails constantly getting replaced. My '69 Roadrunner slid around that corner on wet leaves doing about 40, way too fast for that car even in dry weather. It was a common mistake even for those growing up in the area like I did (next to Arundel High School). Piney Orchard destroyed much of that original road although that stretch is still there. I remember Hurricane Agnes flooding the river and coming over the bridge, sweeping my Dad's car (a '64 Ford wagon) to the side about 3 feet when I tried crossing it like a dip$h!t. Lots of good and bad memories from the area '67-79.
