2 killed, girl critically injured in crash on LBJ Freeway near High Five


Early this morning, while most of us were snuggled warm

in our bed, two twenty-somethings were killed and one

little girl seriously injured in a horrible car crash on LBJ in

Dallas. A VW pulled onto the shoulder at 4:30 a.m., so a passenger could throw

up, and was rear ended by large SUV.

This article, posted on the Dallas Morning News website, received several

comments from readers in the DFW area, many of which criticized everything from

the drivers of the cars' races, speculation of prior activities to the crash (details of

which have not yet been released) to the fact that the little girl was not only not in

a carseat or booster, but sitting on the lap of one of the other passengers.


Of course, everyone commenting was ASSuming they knew exactly what the

people were doing prior and during the wreck. The comments also included well-

wishers and thoughts for the little girl.


I, however, was thinking something else. The driver who rear ended the VW must

be going through hell. I sure would be. Especially with the hundreds of DMN

readers who are attacking them via the web.


I am sure they didn't INTEND to cause a wreck. They were simply driving while

possibly a little tired... Something WE ALL are guilty of, especially me. I perform in

a band and sometimes have to drive 30-40 minutes home at 3:30 a.m. I am lucky

that I haven't been in an accident (knock on wood).


This story just goes to prove how everyone in this town sucks at driving- yet no

one will admit it.
