| Name | Tracy C |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I had submitted a report previously, Report 3850o, but after reviewing my dashcam footage I realized I had the wrong location and was facing the wrong way as well. I have corrected that in this report and would like the previous report to be deleted to avoid duplicates. I did submit the dashcam footage here. |
