All the kids involved were "good kids", honor students, involved in their communities, ball players, homecoming court, student council, our bright & caring future. Right now 6 of these "best of the best" kids lay in hospitals with severe injuries that will change their futures, one is dead, setbacks that they weren't thinking about as they were beginning the best years of their lives.
Both accidents happened in the late afternoon, on the interstate. Two of the kids were on vacation with their parents, the other five were on their way to a championship baseball game to cheer on friends of theirs. Good clean fun. No drinking, no drugs, no seat belts.
Please buckle up, pound it into anyone who gets in your car, buckle up! Yes, seat belts are uncomfortable. Yes, it seems okay to remove it as you are just cruisin' on down the interstate. But as Lindsey, Jonathan, Naomi, Tyler, Josh, Jordyn and Brianna would now tell you, Buckle Up!
