Thankful that the 2nd driver wasnt killed.

So what happen to the person that caused the accident. Did he go to jail or did APD just let
him walk away.
ONLY OUR DA CAN LET PEOPLE WALK.
The person that caused the accident died. The vehicle that he hit was ok.
The person that caused the accident died. Pay attention.
DUI, distracted driving, no license? no insurance? .. sad though
Speed definitely kills because ultimately something will happen to make you lose control. There are so many drivers out there who think they have a right to drive as fast as they want. I’ve got news for them, they don’t. Driving a vehicle is a privilege, and it can be legally taken away from you.
Of course many of these drivers think nothing will ever happen to them, but the graveyards and hospitals are full of such people. People who speed around in their cars obviously don’t care about their family or friends.
It’s sad that two people in that car had to die because of the negligence of the driver.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of these individuals. 😇🙏❤️
What a waste. Speeding and maybe didn’t have seat belts on. Poof three lights out. Horrible. Where is that tree by the way?
Three people lost their lives. No matter how you look at this, it’s sad. My heart goes out to the victims, families and the first responders.
First responders, please take care of yourselves.
Maybe the driver didn’t do well in Physics. Speed kills. Especially in the slow lane.
