Completely fucking oblivious to everything? Check.
God, what a stupid bitch. There are exits off 280 in the City every half a fucking mile, and signs for them all every quarter! It’s mindboggling how many stupid, dangerous decisions all congealed together at this one magical point in time and space. So many things could’ve been done, so many quick, easy things, but no. Your stupid ass chose to hurl yourself and ten relatives over a curb (right toward a steep ivy-covered embankment, IIRC) and hope, if you even cared that much.
Horrible story, but where’d you get the idea she was wearing a seatbelt?
I’d be interested to know if there was alcohol at their family gathering.
According to The Bay City News, both her and another driver were reportedly driving recklessly before the crash, and she crossed several lanes of traffic to try to make the exit. Suffering Christ. :smack:
I could not agree more. Obviously, she’d been driving pretty recklessly the entire time as someone phoned in a report before the wreck. Fucking ridiculous and selfish and I can’t even begin to imagine being the parents of one of the other kids in the car.
To add to this, a Suburban is configured to hold 8 or 9 adult passengers comfortably. A driver plus 10 kids (little ones on laps) isn’t a huge stretch.
I could’ve missed it, but I only saw the reference to the ten kids not wearing belts. Seems to me she’d be in character to belt herself in while ignoring the kids.
Holy cow. 12 at the first birth and all 10 kids were “related to her somehow”. I just… man. I feel so bad for whoever else was responsible for those kids too.
Whoa! Well, given that the story says “she is related in some way” maybe the 16 year old is a step-child.
Kinda wish the bitch hadn’t died but had to live with the guilt (and be sentenced to cleaning up brains from every other fatal car accident in the area).
There’s more I’d like to know about this story. How many were in car seats? You’re telling me that a 4-month-old was not in a car seat when a vehicle rolled 3 times and wasn’t killed? Actually, what is not mentioned in either article from what I can tell is that the 4-year-old who was killed because he was “not in a seatbelt” actually should not have been in a seatbelt at all, but legally should have been in a booster seat (well, assuming he’s not a 60-pound 4-year-old).
That said…FUCK! You have 10 children in your car including an infant and you are driving like an incontinent asshole? And your husband’s doing the same thing in another car, giving you the rare opportunity to prove that you’re both fucking morons? I hope CPS is taking a long hard look at the husband in the other car before they’re letting any of those injured children go home with him.
Actually, despite the incredible stupidity involved in this, it’s her husband I really felt sorry for. According to the article, he saw the whole thing in his rearview mirror. Assuming he was partially responsible for it, and from what the article said, I’d say he is, that just makes things worse. I cannot imagine the horror of seeing an SUV with your wife and children it in get into a horrible accident and be unable to do anything. It’s too late for her; maybe he’ll learn something from this?
There’s plenty he could’ve done to prevent or limit some of the damage. Fuck him, too. Learning the hard way can often be prevented by using the slightest bit of common sense.
Yeah, I get the impression (and granted this just wild speculation based on the way witnesses say they were BOTH driving like asshats) that perhaps she was following him because he knew the way. I can totally see some dickhead goofing around and “trying to lose them” thinking it was funny to make her work to keep up and not get lost.
