This is sad and prayers for the entire family. She must have been a new driver and did not handle the rain. PLEASE KIDS, SLOW DOWN! PLEASE! When it rains, slow down. The idea is to get to where you are going safe. Again, prayers for the family.
When you were a kid did you slow down? Be realistic. Do you even think kids look at this LOL.
Never went 5 over. I guess I was strange but I was also FDNY and seen to many kids die! So Every time I see a sad story like this I plead to kids to slow down! Don’t make me a bad guy for caring about out youth.
