    I am sorry for the victims families in this tragic accident and will keep them in my prayers. I have been in several car accidents i my life and the only time I was not wearing my seatbelt was an accident in which I was injured. Please, please wear your seatbelt even if it is just a short trip around the neighborhood or across country.

    Please know that you are in my prayers. It is hard to lose some one so young. Prayers are going up to each of these families for healing and recovery.

    Prayers for this family, Grandmother, and twin brother. I have twins, and can’t imagine if one of them lost the other. I caught my husband driving with out a seat belt once (we’ve all been guilty of that mistake) I taped a photo of our babies to the dash with a note that said “Please buckle up Daddy”. Never caught him with out it again. Gonna go give everyone I love a hug, remind them to buckle up, and remember your family in our prayers. God bless all involved!!

    Seems every month or so we hear of another person not wearing their seatbelt and getting ejected. People ride along with the warning chime beeping away and still won’t put them on. Airbags are useless without seatbelts.They’ve been proven to work people, WEAR THEM!

  21. Laura on January 25th, 2015 8:30 am

    Becki,

    I am praying for your sister’s physical and emotional recovery! I wish I knew how she was doing.

  22. Honest John on January 25th, 2015 6:37 am

    Sad news again. Please use your seat belts.

  23. Becki on January 25th, 2015 6:00 am

    Kayla and Laura,

    Jocelyn is my sister. Thank you both for your help.

  24. anonymous on January 25th, 2015 4:23 am

    I am so sorry, I wish there was more I could have done. Praying for you all.

  25. Kayla on January 25th, 2015 3:27 am

    I was one of the ones to make sure the deputies got to the right spot as we were behind this couple at the time. Arrived on scene seconds afterwards. This is such a sad situation & absolutely breaks my heart. This young girl is going to be devastated. Prayers go out to all their friends and families.

  26. Laura on January 25th, 2015 12:38 am

    Breaks my heart, I was one of the first on scene as I was leaving for work. Prayers to his family and to Jocelyn, who I know will take this very hard.
