When I was merging onto the 14 freeway from the 5 last night the car almost hit me on the overpass. He then slowed down and The kids and I watched him swerve across all three lanes and then again try to zoom past me which resulted in him going up the hillside and then slowing to maybe 35 miles an hour again. I pulled off the next exit and called 911. Too bad it wasn’t enough.
Hi, I m glad you weren’t hurt. The driver was my lifelong friend, Ann Diaz. I’d known her about 40 years. Just found out today and am in shock!
Cant imagine what happened. Did you see it all? Was she really going 90mph?.
She was a really good mom, our kids were born around the same time. She had a great smile and laugh, she will surely be missed.
