This was my stepmother, she’s doing better now guys. To be honest yes it was a bit stupid but shes been able to walk now! So that’s good I guess.
Prayers for her recovery. But I have to wonder, did she get where she was going any faster? Nope! She didn’t get there at all! Was wherever she was going worth the end result? Not a chance! People need to slow down! EVERYONE on the road has somewhere to go and no-one’s destination is more important than another’s. If it’s an emergency, it’s more urgent. But make sure you “arrive alive”! Please folks! Slow down!
@Jennie….while it is very sad that she is injured and “dying” as you say….that still does not excuse her unsafe driving. She put others at risk. My heart goes out to her and the family as she made a poor decision while driving that may cost her her life. Prayers for this woman & family.
Let this be a lesson to all of why we all need to just chill behind the wheel a little bit; slow down. leave earlier if need, and put the phones down. (I AM NOT SAYING THIS WOMAN WAS ON PHONE; ONLY SPEAKING IN GENERALITIES).
Thank U Jennie, well scripted and I have the same feelings as u. I sincerely am hoping the best for the woman involved.
I can’t believe the people that have no compassion for a person that is dying. I hope you never find yourself or your family members in this situation and I pray the people who respond are a lot kinder than you all are. You all should put down your phone and pray for souls become kinder. You all are sad humans
That particular Area has DOUBLE SOLID YELLOW Lines gee I wonder why?
In a hurry with road rage? Now you have more bills to pay
Hope she pulls thru, but glad she only hurt herself! PERHAPS she learned a lesson.
In a hurry much? How did that work out for you?
driver in a hurry + SUV = rollover
I hate that this happened! I lived on Jack’s Branch Rd, just past where this happened, for a little over 22 years and everyone should know NOT to pass on a curve. That road is VERY DANGEROUS as it is, people tend to use it as if it’s a Nascar Superspeedway anyway.
She was driving erratically seconds before this occurred. Driving at a very high rate of speed and passing multiple vehicles and a semi. Unfortunate this occurred and shes in critical condition but it’s a good thing she didn’t injure any innocent people.
Prayers for her recovery.
