How about telling the whole story KHTS. The driver, Karen Adams, was high on meth (DUI) and killed herself and two of her children. The other two children, if they survive, will have to live without their siblings.
The only positive part of this whole situation is that Karen did not kill anyone else on the freeway.
Hey JT – Only a knucklehead would shame and blame.
How about getting off the rumor-mill JT. The autopsy reports haven’t even come back yet, go troll somewhere else. Some people, no sense, no class… ::smh::
That’s right. Honor her. Look the other way. Don’t talk about the horrible effects of driving under the influence of drugs. If we don’t talk about it people will stop driving DUI right?
