Sad. I saw this roadside shrine on Monday morning, and on Wednesday, I found the online article about it. Three teens, two eighteen year olds and a sixteen year old, all from the Saginaw Road area. Accident around midnight; two dead (the 16 and 18 year old); driver in hospital, none in seatbelts (for what that was worth; the article noted it, and I remembered it). A year ago, a couple of teens on ATVs died (or one died and the other was really hurt; don't remember exactly anymore). A shrine on Hickory HIll Road.
A few years ago, a kid, who the Oxford or State police were trying to pull over, accelerated and flipped his pickup and died. Tragic!
I can still recall the feeling of indestructibleness when I was about that age. Guess I was lucky, since these recent teenaged deaths should remind us all--especially parents--that driving around here is more dangerous than we probably think. Either way, no snark on this post because I feel such sympathy for the parents, friends, and families of these lost and hurt kids.
