The three adults were a man, his wife and their 42 year olddaughter, and the 4 year old had a broken arm, but lived. And it was on a rain soaked Highway. The other two, (35 and 15) people were o.k.
God bless these victims, Families and Friends. People, 'PLEASE' Slow Down on Wet Highways!! The Life you save may be your own, or mine.
