A coworker of mine was killed in a car crash last night
Edited on Wed Mar-09-05 04:53 PM by slackmaster
I just heard about it. She was driving her Mini Cooper on a mountain road near her home and was hit head-on by an IDIOT in a Volvo who was talking on a cell phone.

I HATE PEOPLE WHO DON'T TAKE DRIVING SERIOUSLY! :mad:

That is all.

4. What a Shame
I've had my share of near-misses by idiots with the cell phones jammed against their pointed little heads.

5. So Sorry , and I know your feelings
W have had about a half dozen kids killed in our School area. one a young 16 year old, went to a movie with friends, her mom didn't get there in time to get them, one of the girls called a boy friend that was drinking, wrecked going around a curve, the girl was smothered she was so packed in.

One died her freshman year at Carolina Chapel Hill, went to a party and was coming home struck a bridge.

WE had 3 or 4 others killed in car wrecks.

11. Don't know - I missed the news report and my managers are all out
I learned about it when our HR director sent an email to everyone.

I believe the person would be subject to arrest for negligent manslaughter.

This is so sad - Two children lost their mother, a man lost his wife, my company lost a wonderful person, all so someone could yak on the damn phone.
