Omg one of the people who was stuck under the car is my grandson's mother. That is my Sons ex wife he's going crazy right now. She was infront of her building by the park. These drunk drivers need to stop driving and causing things like this I pray she comes out of this ok. She needs to be here for her Son. God keep her in your grace let her come out ok. I'm playing for all the injurned people who were under that car. I hope they arrested this guy.

Terribly sad and so many are fixated on race. A Mother and Son died on a National Holiday while they were outside enjoying the company of friends and neighbors. Honor the Departed by engaging in CIVIL DISCOURSE and words of comfort for family members and friends who might be on

Why make it about race? Let’s stop drunk drivers, we need more laws to prevent these things it’s horrible
