There are many victims in this accident. My heart goes out to the families involved, even those of the 20 year old. I only pray that others will learn from this and be more attentive. Most of all I pray that people will stop drinking (or drugs) while driving, call a friend, it doesn't hurt others.

My heart goes out to the victims family and friends. You'd be amazed how many people here RUN red lights because they're in such a hurry. Why is really beyond me. Better to get there safe than not at all.
