How aweful.

Prayers for Rachel and her family and the other victims.

Were they chasing after him to pay the tab? I don't understand quite... it kind of makes it seem like he waited for them and then ran them over? But if they were chasing after him that makes more sense, though the article didn't specify.

Though that is awful, I can't believe how anyone could do that over a matter of a bar tab... it's just money... now he will go to jail for, what? Attempted manslaughter? Shame people feel the need to resort to violence like this over just petty issues...

OMG - I pray that Rachel can have a miracle and be able to regain more movement than ever. Doctors have been surprised before!

Before Dana died (their poor son!), she was on Oprah and some of the people that had been treated at the centre were on the show. A young woman, told she wouldn't walk again, WAS walking - in braces, but doing it herself.

I bet the bar and town could raise a lot of money for Rachel if this was an option. I know her parents and all are overwhelmed...is there anyone that could look into this for her?

Prayers that everyone recovers, and that the person arrested does something to help...I hope that time at the bar is the last drink he ever takes.

All I know is, from her mom what she said to the professor in class, was that Rachel and two other people ran out to catch him because he was trying to escape before they found out he did not pay the bar tab. Something like that, but he just intentionally ran them over just to get away. I don't understand people these days.
