I heard the ambulances (two) racing up the country last early this morning and then I heard one siren coming back down. I had a feeling it was a crash. Come on people, the cassava pie in the Hospital isn’t as good as momma’s.
Accident with 5 people in the car and all happening at 4.50 am, explains a lot…..
C’mon peeps, you dont want to be in KEMH on Christmas!
4:50AM, the time when there is the least amount of traffic on the roads & it is prime time for serious crashes. Seems like a good time to set up roadblocks for DUI checks. Could be a great money generator in the courts.
The driver could’ve easily fallen asleep at the time.
Hello All,
My son was one of these 5 young people in the car. It has been heart breaking for all of the family members,I pray every minute for all of them as it could have been worse. I thank God and who ever was watching over all 5 FRIENDS that they are alive. Please pray for everyone this is all that we ask.
Many Thanks,
