I cannot believe the family would actually ask for donations for the woman burial. She was DRUNK and almost killed 4 other innocent bystanders,who were just coming home from work. I hope the mother can live with herself as well as the financee who was also drinking with them. I hold the drunk mother and financee fully responsible for this accident.

My thoughts and prays are with everyone that was involved in this accident. And my heart goes out to the three small children who lost their mother.

The young man that was driving the Mazda is my nephew and he is currently in critical but stable condition in Shock Trauma ICU. Though there are a lot of unanswered questions concerning his health at this time and there are no guarantees, he seems to be heading in the right direction. The only thing we ask is that you please keep him and his parents in your thoughts and prayers as he still has a long recovery road ahead. The family would also like to thank anyone that helped my nephew at the scene of the accident…God bless you all! One last thing for everyone…please think before you drink and drive…it’s not worth it.
