Makes you want to hide under the bed!

I heard the sirens from Brentwood. One of the helicopters flew over my court. Praying for those hurt.

And again the driver is unscathed….

Jerry Nov 4, 2018 - 10:18 pm

Gotta love alcohol. It’s legal, causes addiction and cancer, and even withdrawal can cause death! And people thought weed being legal would cause crashes like this would to spike? What a joke…
Megan Campbell is the killers name. Unfortunately her skin complexion is probably fair so she got preferential treatment when she got arrested.

Heidi Nov 6, 2018 - 7:12 am

Why do you have to bring race into this? It is a tragity. And a very irresponsible driver regairdsleas of color. She needs to be punshied to the full extent of the law! Period!! My son was killed by a repeat offender of dui, her ran from the scene and was caught by a spectator. He was dark skinned but only has to serve 5 years of A 10 year sentence. Which to me is not enough for killing and running. So your theory is right out the window

Mark Kiernan Nov 4, 2018 - 8:15 pm

If the hit and run is found to be a felony then the injuries caused in commission of said felony could be charged as even more felonies, the driver of the Subaru is in a lot of trouble, hopefully all the victims will recover.
Penalties for this type of behavior should be much more severe, I know it’s not very pc but this piece of less than human s**t should be made to suffer. You can’t change bad behavior without there being severe consequences. In medieval times people who behaved badly were impaled at the city gates to let others know that this town won’t accept people behaving badly, now in modern times their mothers and friends post on social media what good people they really are and they get their wrists slapped.

Darrell Nov 4, 2018 - 8:33 pm

He’ll be made to suffer when the lawsuits start rolling in. I’ve a feeling he probably doesn’t have much insurance… if any at all. If he’s a home/land owner or both, he can kiss all that goodbye to go along with his jail time.

Mark Kiernan Nov 4, 2018 - 9:07 pm

Reports now coming in that is was a female driver, she’s in custody now.

Denise Nov 5, 2018 - 1:49 pm

Its a 33 year old woman.

Dawn Marie Nov 5, 2018 - 2:41 am

I’ve noticed that when the weekend comes, people drive like they are totally insane! Even more so than they do on workdays. Maybe we should do away with weekends altogether!

Ray Nov 5, 2018 - 8:05 am

Or they could put those basic plastic, vertical lane dividers on some of those back roads. After all these crashes they’ve never considered this simple safety intervention? People with babies put up guards on cabinets, yet legislatures can’t put up safety measures on these dangerous roads?

Jasmine Nov 16, 2018 - 1:01 pm

Any news or updates of people who were injured ..wasn’t there a critical condition .I pray for all to recover well?
