I know this is definitely off topic but because I consider you folks my friends it hits home to me and everyone on here. About 6 weeks ago I was getting in my truck to head off to work and I'm not a morning person anymore since I left the farm anyway I was putting my stuff in the truck when I heard the most horrendous crash like a sheet of 4'X 8' X 1/2" steel being dropped from several stories. We live in the burbs so that sound is unusual at 6:30am. I live about 100yds from the main road back in a housing addition, I dreaded what I might see but I sped off to the main entrance to see what I could do and try to help. When I arrived it was unbelievable a late model SUV had collided with a small pickup truck headon. The SUV was southbound in it's own lane and the other vehicle was northbound in the southbound lane they had met headon at the crest of a hill. The last I heard the computer in the vehicle said she was running at the 45mph speed limit but the pickup was doing 65mph. The end result is when I arrived the 39 year old woman driver was in the back seat and the steering wheel was bent forward. She had her 2 year old daughter fastened down in her car seat and suffered a broken arm. The SUV was full of airbags that had been deflated I had a hard time finding the young lady just to hold her hand because no one wants to die alone and she was awake. I had to pull away right away because there was traffic coming and I didn't want have the scene collided into by unsuspecting drivers rearending an already serious situation. The tentative accident report is the oncoming driver had a heart attack and his vehicle traveled in the path of oncoming traffic and collided with the SUV. The driver of the SUV did not have her seat belt fastened and caused serious internal injuries which led to her death. That was the second double fatality I've ever came on in my life and I don't care if I ever see another one! The morrow of the story is make sure your loved ones fasten those seat belts before they move an inch. I was not a believer but my son is a cop and he's ragged on me forever and I am now!
