You probably have heard about the Berry family.
Their crash and what was left is so horrific that it grabbed the national spotlight. I actually have never known how the crash happened until just this morning when I read that:
You may know their story. Josh and Robin Berry were driving through west Texas returning home from a family vacation in Colorado with their three children, Peter, Aaron and Willa, last July. A distracted driver swerved into their lane causing a collision that killed Josh and Robin. Their three children survived the accident, however, Peter and Aaron suffered spinal cord injuries leaving them paralyzed from the waist down.
A distracted driver killed a mom and dad and orphaned their three children, paralyzing the boys from the waist down.
Wow. I wonder what distracted that man, Michael Scott Doyle?
***I just got an answer, he was reaching into his backseat to retrieve a CD.
Someone reported to the Huffington Post that:
"It was late at night, and that stretch of highway is a horrible area where people have tragic accidents and fatalities," Deutsch told the Huffington Post. "It's a two-lane highway with no lights. It's very dangerous."
My next question is, has something been changed to make this stretch safer? I do know that Texas recently made their highways the fastest in America with a portion of the highway at 85MPH. Hmmm.
This is a video of the boys talking about the crash. They plead with people to drive safe. How can we not listen?
