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.
