Almost every year we lose at least 1 kid in HS (of 3300 kids) to a car accident. There is a law in Texas that kids have to be 18 or older to carry more than 1 passenger... would not have helped in this case. The law is very telling because it used to be a slaugter with a bunch of kids in one car, not paying attention, and then you have 5 or 6 kids dead in the family car.

Very sad.

To fly 200 feet... they either had to fall off of a steep dropoff or be going very fast off a smaller dropoff. And they hit up in a tree...Jeez, they could have been a projectile for even a longer distance. Looking at that car it would have been a miracle for anyone to survive inside.

Very sad having that empty seat inthe classroom. The Dad...if he gave his kid the OK to drive that... He is alive, but wishing he were dead. I would be.
