I saw that another life as been lost as a result of an automobile accident today. I did not know the family but wanted to wish them our condolences. It’s always a sad situation when a life is lost as such a young age. I have a daughter who just turned sixteen and these types of instances terrify me every time I let her take the automobile out on her own. Our prayers and wishes are with the families of those injured in this horrific accident.
