Commentary
While I know that those injured in this accident are in pain, looking at those pictures, I’m just glad to hear that no one lost their life. Too often we see innocent lives cut short due to a driver’s negligence, and I hope that the victims of this accident are able to recover quickly and without permanent impairment.
