So very sad it seems like something like this happens every year. Makes me lose my faith a little more each time. Thinking of their families.
ReplyDeleteLast night I saw 2 new drivers from Parkside High School racing home on Rt. 13 Northbound. One was in a pick up and the other was in a gray Suburban like vehicle and both had passengers. They both left their Summer league soccer game in Westover.
ReplyDeleteWhy do parents let these 16 year olds drive without adult supervision? Why do parents let their kids drive with these new drivers?
I thought there was a law that you had to be a certain age before you could have young passengers in your vehicle if you were driving without supervision?
Pointless deaths, lost futures, and grieving families and friends. This is not how it should be.
