The Jeep struck both pedestrians. Did the jeep leave home with this in mind?
This is a sad time for all involved. May be compassion should be used instead of sarcasm
There is a lot of sadness with this accident. Maybe compassion should be used instead of sarcasm
Just another nice and polite comment from some unknown gentleman.
That area is bad for this. I know b/c I was hit in that area and have never recovered from the accident. This is so sad.
This is awful for the families of the deceased but imagine the driver of the vehicle and what he is going through as well. This was not a pedestrian crossing.
I don't even understand that first comment. Some people are just so terrible. Try some empathy, you idiot. Hope something like this never happens to you. Maybe if it does, you will think back to this stupid comment you made after 2 people just died.
I miss him so much! I love dad :'(
