Yes don’t stay mad w loved ones, they could be going to the store, church, anywhere this could’ve been anyone of us. Fuck missing a red light, u can wait the extra min or 2, it’s not that important.
Fun fact: most traffic lights are 1 minute. (RR crossings and multiple intersections excluded)
I was there, I stated CPR on the elderly victim in the gray car until police arrived. Please pray for the victim and her family.
Was it an elderly black man ?
Talk nice or don’t speak. It doesn’t anything to be kind.
