There was a disturbing accident, in my neck of the woods, yesterday. My city has an expressway in the middle of the city, with a 50 mph speed limit. Right next to the expressway is a really big park where a lot of pedestrians walk the circumference of the park. Yesterday, a driver, jumped over the curb into the park and struck a family. The mother was bruised and cut, but the 3 year old son was killed, and the daughter is still in critical condition. The governor of NYS has implemented the expressway be reduced to 30 mph
I feel so bad for the family, and I really feel bad for the driver. If I were to cause someone else's death behind the wheel, I don't think I could handle that guilt. I had a dream, last night that the driver took his life. I woke up in tears, and couldn't sleep at all. The driver didn't take his life (it was just a dream), but it was stated by reporters that he was really distraught and had to be calmed down. This man must be feeling an intense amount of survivor's guilt, and so must the mother of the children. She made it relatively unscathed, but her children, because of their size and position in the stroller. took the brunt of the impact. I have dealt with survivor's guilt, many years ago, so I guess I feel their hurt on a more personal level. I am really hormonal and just need to talk about this terrible awful situation. Thanks for listening, ladies.
