unbelievably sad.


I am so sorry for this family.


Please…a little respect for the young girl who tragically lost he life and her family and loved ones. Good grief.


Drivers are given any real training and very little instruction about driving in the rain. Sounds like she drove too fast and tried to apply the brakes too late or hydroplaned and skidded through the turn. Pick-up trucks are very tough to drive when there is water on the road.


Really? Is that what happened?


Where does it say anything about a pickup truck? It says 2011 Toyota!


And where does it say anything about driving in the rain? You read into more than what is there.


only a fool offers speculation without knowing the facts … How do you know a deer didn’t run out in front of vehicle causing driver to swerve … GET A LIFE
