TONS of good vibes needed! *Updated Again*

The accident was very, very bad. The people in the second vehicle (not the 18 wheeler) were alright. Their car is no longer drivable but that is the least of their worries right now.

Unfortunately, the news story revealed the horrific accident. It is the worst one I have ever seen. Ever. The three month old baby boy, strapped into his backseat carseat, did not survive. There was no hope for him. They used the jaws of life to free his body. The 26 year old mom was not breathing and had no pulse but they were able to resuscitate her and rushed her to the university hospital. The 28 yr old father had no serious injuries (except face cuts).

They have a big parking lot where my husband works. People were stopping and staring with BINOCULARS. Troy ran some off and then he got a cop to help him run the rest of those sick people off.

We are thinking about going to visit them.

Thanks for the update....did all kinds of searches on Shreveport news, and found nothing.

That poor couple....that they lived, and lost their baby....OMG. Prayers and more prayers for them...

Any word on whose fault the accident was?

Good for your husband for getting some of the vultures out of there so the cops and others could do their work.

That is just awful! I am going to say prayers for that couple

Yes, it's the fault of the 18 wheeler. He was seen being hauled off in handcuffs.

One of the most frightening things was that the vehicles started to catch fire and they used up all their extinguishers on it and it kept going.

You know, if Troy would have left work at the time he was *supposed* to (I had called to see if they were closing up soon), it could or would have been him.

This is all a big swirl of events. He is pretty upset about it but we've had a fun day together so I think his mind is off of it.

I'm in near tears here. I had goosebumps after reading that the baby passed. I bet the parents feel so helpless, especially the father.


I wonder why the guy was handcuffed? I'll bet he was under the influence of something.


I witness an accident last night just as we got out of the car to go to Petsmart. A car full of kids, I'd say 18-19 year olds, ran into a ditch. Everyone was fine, thankfully.

Thats a terrible thing to have to witness.
And we are praying fot the Mother, and are heartbroken about that poor Baby.
The trucking firms are partly to blame as truckers often have to work long hours, to save the companies money.
We pray that justice is done in this case.
