I know 2 crashed on the parkway, where they werent supposed to be anyway, is that where you're talking about? I could (almost) forgive them if they were from relief agencies, but I don't know where they were from. Do you?

The police are limiting traffic onto the Asheville Highway Bridge over the Nolichucky River here in Greene County. The current GPS settings for truckers is sending them over that bridge which takes you into NC where it becomes NC SR 208. It's a winding, curvy road that goes up the side of a mountain to 4500 feet elevation and back down another mountain into Asheville. It's a tough drive even in a car on a dry sunny day. When the trucks can't go over the bridge then their GPS sends them to Lower Paint Creek Road which no longer exists due to being washed away in the French Broad River. 208 was where the truck jack -knifed in the morning and Paint Creek was where the other truck became stuck. State and federal officials are trying to have the truckers GPS corrected.
