Re: Please Be Careful Out There
Sunday morning I noticed a small pick-up truck parked down by the road, and a man was walking around the area of the accident. I went down to speak to him, and it turned out to be the woman's Husband. He seemed as though he was in a daze, and he hadn't yet accepted what happened. He asked me several questions and I wasn't able to give him much info since I only heard the accident, and didn't get to the car for several minutes later. He told me she suffered massive head injuries, crushed her legs, and had many other internal injuries.
He just couldn't understand what his Wife was doing so off course from her intended destination, which was at least 20 minutes North West of where I live. She lived about 20 minutes South West from the accident scene.
Her Husband also told me that she often got directions confused, even once getting so lost, she drove out of state by by mistake. (It takes at least an hour to get into PA. from where I live).
It turned out, she not only left her Husband, but she had a family of 3, ranging from 17 to 24.
My only guess is that maybe she was distracted by looking at her cell phone, trying to get GPS directions.
It's been a very ironic last 5 days. My nearly 93 year old Mother-in-law has been very near death since last Thursday, the nursing home has somebody in her room 24-7, They told us they didn't think she would make it thru the weekend. When we were with her yesterday, she seemed to be breathing easy and seemed very peaceful. (Even with a heart rate of 137.) Yet this young lady of only 48 years loses her life in a second. You just never know. Or prayers go out to her family.
