Stupidity is incurable. Why did a collision between an ATV and a tractor trailer occur if the ATV was where he should be? At intersection of Cemetery Road and Marine Drive in Grand Bank??? This has left a 27-year-old man from that community with severe injuries, according to the RCMP.... He is lucky--he should be a Darwin Award candidate... Meanwhile I hate for my precious health care $$ to be expended for this stupidity....
