This is the scene of an accident where 4 teenagers were killed. The driver was going 90-100 mph. Such a tragedy. I saw this article in the Deseret News this morning. I made the comments below. This is my PSA for today.
Why? When do they Learn? | 10:51 a.m. Aug. 31, 2009
Why do teens and young adults think they are immortal? Life is too precious to throw it away with senseless acts of recklessness. Such a tragedy and the parents are left to mourn their children's deaths. Parents need to tell their children "NO" more often. My brother made some stupid choices driving with my younger sister and I in the car on a rain slick road. We swerved and made a 360' in the road. Luckily we survived. We didn't have seat belts then (1956) He said to us and we went into the spin, "Oh, God, hold on." We did hold onto each other and survived with a bent right rear wheel rim. We came out without a scratch or even a bruise. We were protected somehow. That incident happened again years later on a snow packed road with me, my 8 children, my husband driving a little fast for the condition. I had just told him to slow down and we went into a spin. I said the same thing my brother said, "Hold ON!" We stopped next to a snowbank like a pillow, and were protected. There was a semi-truck jack-knifed across the snow packed road, we missed it by inches. We then prayed and went on. We were very fortunate to be alive. God's tender mercies. My youngest child, (Matt) was a babe in arms, just four months old in the front seat as I held him in all this.
