It just confuses the old Doc

It just confuses the old Doc to no end as to WHY does San Angelo Live ALWAYS put the following declaration at the end of some story ? ... "We will update this story as new information becomes available. "
You can bet you're sweet bippy that this will never happen, ..... EVER !!!
Go back as far as you can in previous stories (or wait until future stories are written), and just watch...... You will see that it is a complete farce that nobody at San Angelo Live will ever come back or think twice about putting that line in one of the stories they wrote and actually ever report an update to it.....
Agree with Dr. D!!

I agree with you Dr.D ... and I'll add my own thoughts, it seems that San Angelo Live also has the mind set that the readers of San Angelo Live News ... take the weekends off and so does the News! To the staff of San Angelo Live; the "NEWS" and the "READERS" of San Angelo Live do not take time off ... just because it happens on a weekend!
Agreed

the DPS has not released any information on this crash that happened less than 18 hrs ago on a Saturday. As soon as they do, we will have something to report. Until then, rest assured we will update this story when more info is available.
multiple fatalities

Folks, look around, nobody else is even covering this story. Used to be the DPS had a very strict time line to release information to the media. That has changed over the years...and now it seems, they will give it out when they want to give it out. Your complaints should be leveled at the DPS...maybe you can make a difference.
ST Obits

There are 3 obits in the Standard-Times with same last name - husband, wife and child. Maybe related to this accident??

They did all die on the same day...it would seem if they were not fatalities that would be a story in itself.

Until the DPS decides (in its aggravatingly slow moving process) to officially identify the accident victims, anything else is conjecture. It could very well be them, but maybe not!
