It was her facebook page. A really sad thing. Looks like the girl was doing good in her community. Tragic.
Just slow the **** down! There is no need to be driving that fast on city streets.
very true, speed limits in the citys aren't 55 mph.... this happened on a State Rd with a speed limit of 55 mph.
There is no excuse for this. I talked with my daughter earlier today, she lives in Rochester, knows of these families affected... this has devastated the community. My son in law wasn't on call for Fire today, or he'd have been on scene.
Pray for the families, pray for the first responders, many of the fire responders are volunteers, pray for the community.
This is a devastating tragedy.
Arrested at 4pm at work.
at a church, caring for children. when she was released from the scene, someone came and took her there. she didn't hide, she didn't run. I am sure she will take responsibility for her actions. no matter what the law can do to her, she's already done to herself much worse, and will, every day for the rest of her life.
If I hadn't talked to my daughter today, learned a bit about this young lady, I wouldn't have the compassion I do for her.
I'm so angry she plowed these children down, but she isn't an evil monster.
That you for the added info and insight. It's always so easy to believe the worst in people when we chose to ignore the truth. Ad you said I doubt seriously that anybody will ever punish her as bad as she will herself.
it is very easy to believe the worst in people. The Mom and Grandma side of me wants to see this young woman strung up and given to those she has hurt the most, the parents of these poor babies.
I have grandbabies the age of those twins. to think about life without my babies because of an avoidable accident, well, it just kills me. I would want that person dead. I really get it, I do.
As someone that works in the field, I'm not a driver nor do I ever want that task, this is the worst thing that can ever happen. My heart goes out to the families involved, I pray for them and the driver that hit them.
Put your phone away when driving. Train your kids to look twice before crossing the street. Look for the big ugly National School Bus Glossy Yellow twinkies. Stop when the stop arm is out. Carry on with your life.
Now that said how in the name of any Holy Deity you may worship can you miss a ****ing school bus. How. That is what twists me up here.
This has always bothered me. Who decided it's a good idea to stop a bus and have children cross the street in the dark? Why don't the bus drivers modify their route so they can stop and pick the children up curb side?
It's probably a time issue. Can you imagine the route if they were picking up every student at their driveway? In town going back to picking up children at a bus stop might be an answer but then of course you have kids walking in the dark to the bus stop. The simple truth is you can't idiot proof anything, you can come close but the almighty dollar rears its ugly head and people start screaming. Imagine the cost of equipping every bus with traffic cams? I live in a rural area and several of the bus drivers out here pull across the road blocking it with their bus!
