Please drive safely to PCB

I found this article in a newspaper. I was very hurt by this incident.

Hinesville Coastal Courier


An 18-year-old Kentucky woman was killed and four others injured in a rollover Saturday morning on Interstate 95. The accident slowed morning southbound traffic and stopped it while one of the injured passengers was flown to Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah for treatment. According to a Georgia State Patrol report, Marisa Cappellan, 18, of Greenwich, CT, was driving south just north of exit 67 when she lost control of a white Nissan Pathfinder. She was injured and taken by ambulance to Memorial Health University Medical Center in Savannah, which did not have information about her condition Saturday afternoon.

Rachel Sutherland, 18, of Winchester, KY, was killed in the accident. Alexander Taub, 18, of Middletown, MA, Greg Trinkaus, 19, of New York, and Matthew Perrotta, 22, of New York City were injured.

The fully-loaded SUV rolled several times, ejecting two passengers before coming to rest on its roof. One of those victims was killed and the other was evacuated by helicopter with serious injuries. Neither was wearing a seatbelt, according to the report.

The other victims were able to remain in the car and were transported by ambulance with less severe injuries.

Investigating officer GSP Sgt. Neal Jump said the victims were college students heading to Florida for spring break.

be safe

excellent post.
we're here talking about all of the drinking and hooking up that we will be doing... we must remember that we're only blood and flesh and we have to be causious at all times.
people drive safely and dont do anything stupid on the highway.


and if youre religious remember to say a prayer before departure... u know, to ask for God's blessings


peace:)

yea, I agree.

After having been in a Severe car accident about 5 years ago, I can tell you that it is not anything that you ever want to do. Even though the accident I was in was not my fault, I still 1) Totalled My car, 2)injured 4 of my friends (3 of whom, including myself, were wearing our seat belts) and 3) recieved a fractured skull and cut part of my upper lip off, when my face smashed into the dashboard. I also recieved 3 broken ribs, and was knocked out for approx 5 hours. and this accident happened at 30 MPH! so Please, all be careful, so we can party it up and all enjoy it.. (oh, btw... thanks to a plastic surgeon and his 32 stiches, my lip is back where it should be, and the scars are very small. )
