just be careful when you're on your cellular.
so i live in new hampshire and i've been out of highschool for a year. and this is what i would like to share with you.
a woman who worked at my high school (robin young. her son was in my grade,) was at a haffners gas station in haverhill mass, drying off her car because she just came out of the car wash, and her 12 year old daughter was in the car waiting.
a woman in a mercedes was on rt 125 headed towards plaistow, nh (north) when she veered, hit the rock wall haffners has at the end of their lot area, and flew 50ft and hit poor mrs. young. she died at the hospital she was taken to. and her 12 year old daughter saw the whole thing.
the woman with the mercedes (marie pigaga) said her breaks failed, and something about her power steering not working. the police checked it out, and they found out she lied, and there was nothing wrong with the car. they checked the black box but i don't know the results of that, and they checked her cell phone records and it said she was on the phone at the time of the accident (1:11pm.)
i went to the wake of this poor woman, and there was a three hour wait, the line wrapped around the funeral home, by the street, there was a cop directing traffic and making sure no one was driving terribly.
the woman who hit her came over from some other country, put herself through college and obviously makes enough money that she has a mercedes, and an suv.
she is facing up to 2 and 1/2 years, and a 3000 fine. she was forced to hand over her license (pretty sure anyways.) she got out on bail, hopped in her suv and sped off, almost hitting children.
be careful if you're on your cell phone. do not end up like marie pigaga. you'll end up killing someone wonderful like mrs. young, or even yourself.
