Lately in Antioch, I have encountered drivers who are willing to make risky turns as I am driving closer towards them. Its pathetic that they can’t even wait 5 seconds before making a safe turn. What’s the hurry?
Its not surprising that an incident like this happened because it was inevitable. The driver of the Saturn got what he deserved for being a fool and not following a basic stop sign. Hopefully the injured will recover and the bus driver keeps his/her job.
Got what he deserved? Sorry, but no one deserves death from an accident.
This man lost his life!!!He was a father to a three year old! Shame on the both of you for posting such negativity! Yes he is more than likely at fault, mistakes were made and a wonderful man lost his life. Have some damn common sense and respect not to A. make a joke of this horrible event and B. call this man names. ECT is high lt popular and his family and friends (i.e. myself) read these things and it only adds salt to the open wounds we are currently faced with. I pray that your families and friends are never put in this situation.
This man lost his life! He was a father to a 3 year old little boy who now does not have his daddy. To sit there and call him a fool and to say that he got what he deserved is just plain sickening. I pray to God that you and your family are never put into a situation like his family and friends(i.e myself) are currently in. And to poke fun at this accident is not right in any way shape or form. ECT has become a very popular news source which means more than likely his family/friends can and probably will have seen these horrible comments. Have some common sense and some damn respect! Again I pray that you nor your loved ones are ever placed in a tragedy like this. Regardless who is at fault, and yes it probably was him, another human lost their life, and we need to rally together as a community and support those who are affected, not just the ones who lost their loved ones, but the driver of the bus, its passengers and all the witnesses and emergency personal who where involved.
Please have some god d*mn respect before shooting you’re mouth off! I just lost a best friend as did many others. And now a little boy lost his father. as*holes.
Gotta tell your friends to drive safely. as*hole
What a waste of space. Get a life.
I have one LOL.
Unfortunately, your friend, who is supposedly a saint, father, messiah, and all the rest of the fantasy world stuff, except from being a safe driver, of course, DOESN’T.
Wow Marcel Cox, that’s a horrible thing to say and honestly if you feel that someone deserves death over a traffic mistake then you should seek some help, maybe talk to a behavioral health specialist.. Think about it. I was there before police and emt arrived and there were no witnesses aside from the bus driver, the bus passengers could not say what happened. So right now it’s just a one sided story and the investigation isn’t even complete so to say he was a fault this early on is dumb. My heart goes out his loved ones.
Sorry for those that knew the driver. He is in God’s hands now and God will always be there for his family. I do not know this man but, I know what it is like to lose a loved one. R.I.P. Brother.
got what he deserved. I have no remorse for people who speed or don’t practice safe driving habits and end up like this. Just glad he didn’t take anyone down with him
No one can judge what has been done for those very disrespectful people who say he deserved it, I can’t even believe you even said that, he was a good person I will only pray that God doesn’t punish your for your poor judgment , things written in the papers ,articles , news are not always accurate. So please be respectful for others losses and pray it never happens to you because karmas a bit*h.
Yes if he was rushing, he was probably trying to get to work to feed his family. i am sorry. Terrible tragedy.
God makes His final judgements on everyone. I sure wouldn’t want to stand before Him and try explain why I made such mean and nasty remarks as some here have done. Ya’ll might want to search your souls and adjust your outlook and output!
I think God will tell you that it was his right to judge people. NOT YOURS!
