    So glad to hear that everyone survived. PLEASE do not be too hasty to blame the out of town AT&T driver. There is a hill and he was traveling due west right into the sun. We got a pizza from someone who saw the accident and it was right at that terrible time when the sun blinds you. Thank the Lord it sounds like everyone will live, but that man will have to live with that the rest of his life. That traffic pattern there is a menace in the morning and the afternoon.

    Cant believe people cant see the blinking light and stop like a normal person.
    Take you time and stay off the phones and you might live a while.

    I was riding my bike and came upon this accident. First responders were already at the scene so I left. I found out later about the injuries. I hope all those involved will be ok and recover from their injuries. I’ll keep all of you in my prayers. Thank goodness for the FHP, Fire Department and other first responders at the scene of this accident. We appreciate all you men and women do for us in times like this when accidents happen.

    So thankful everyone will be fine. This happened right in front of us and my husband was the first one to reach the 11 year old. I sat with him while they freed Angela. So glad to see on here that she will be ok! Our God is good!
