This is the story about a 13 yr old girl from my daughter's school who was killed yesterday while on her way to school. Her 16 yr old brother was driving too fast and missed a curve, hitting a tree. According to the article above, he's in the hospital, but tonight we got word that he was brain dead and they took him off life support.

LadyRev's husband works with the parents. They apparently have one younger child in elementary school who was not in the accident.

This is a small community and it's being rocked.

Wow, that's absolutely horrific. Those parents must be beside themselves. I will definitely remember them in prayer.

Mrs. LPW has the correct word - Horrific. I am praying for the family.

Thanks. If you go to the main page, the picture of the car is there. I spoke to a woman today who works by the fire dept and they told her that the boy wasn't breathing when they arrived on scene and he was wrapped around the tree. The girl was breathing but died before reaching the hospital.

I had a long talk with my son who will be 17 in two weeks but isn't driving yet about the consequences of stupidity. He was hearing me, but I hope he was listening.

Having just lost my 17 year old niece last September in a car accident, I want to tell you that I can understand what the parents are feeling. But the truth is that I cannot. I've watched my brother and SIL suffer and know that our suffering doesn't even begin to compare.

I'll pray too

Too late today. The main page changes everyday, as it's the current daily news stories.
