Don’t understand why someone would pull in front of an oncoming vehicle but regardless of the reason this is so sad. I pray for all and the families.
such an unnecessary comment.
It is called an accident for a reason genius. Maybe they didnt see the oncoming vehicle. I am also certain you, Mr. Saint never also pulled out in front of a car when you probably shouldnt have eh?
Verry Sad is all I can say and all I should have said. No disrespect intended.
Takes a special kind of dumb to make a comment like that
Steve I’ve noticed you say you pray for some individuals in your posts and at the same time express indifference and contempt for others. Since you pick and choose, what God do you pray to, if you really pray at all?
This is so sad My thoughts and Prayers to the family 🙏🏼❤️
Can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything at all. God blesses them all. Prayers for family.
