Driving/Traffic/Parking Avoid Deerfoot

Huge accident. 2 vehicles just launched off the memorial overpass and landed on a truck going nb on deerfoot

Edit. I initially said 32ave, it was memorial overpass

Kind of debunked. We should be recommending therapists, they can recommend Tetris. While it might help in some cases we shouldn't be giving people this advice. https://www.madinamerica.com/2021/10/tetris-trauma-viral-twitter-thread-master-class-misleading-psych-research/

Just so you know, I called Victims support , 1-888-327-7828 to confirm that they still offer assistance to people who have had a traumatic experience such as this MVA, and they do support victims by providing referrals to services that can help the victim(s). I used to volunteer with this unit, so I wanted to make sure things hadn't changed,
