Park rangers say the victim flipped his car on its hood while going through a turn. Rescue workers say the man did not appear to suffer any life threatening injuries, but said he did lose a substantial amount of blood. More than two hundred opponents to Roanoke county's Home Depot rezoning came out to voice their opinions last night. The Cave Spring Citizens Group collected signatures and pledges of financial support. The group is also moving forward with plans to hire an attorney.
Leaders say they have at least three options.
They include a legal challenge to the supervisors' vote, an effort to persuade one of the supervisors to change his mind, and a campaign directed at Home Depot to convince company officials they should look elsewhere. Home Depot has its defenders, who welcome the the new jobs and tax revenues the store would bring. The supervisors will hear from both sides next week, when they hold a public hearing on the issue. The proposed route would run from Dixie Caverns through the county to Boones Mill. It's one of several options V-Dot engineers are studying.
