polkadotsuitcase 12 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 It's so tragic. I heard about it yesterday morning and it stuck with me all day. So sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
campingpixi 11 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 This is sad what is even sadder is that they passed us going at least 80 and cutting people off then crashed about a 1/2 mile ahead of us. We were stopped for 2 hours on I-95 then had to turn around with the trailer in the and go south in the north lanes to get detoured. It really breaks my heart to see how much aggressive driving can rip a family apart. All I can say is wear your seat belts folks and SLOW DOWN there is no place that you need to get to that fast.

ºoºThomasclan85ºoº 8 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 DH mentioned this when he got home yesterday. Such a sad, sad thing.

When DD was about 2, I hit some gravel and went off the road, rolling the car. I've never been so glad to hear a child cry in my life. As much as I detest seatbelts, you don't ride with me unless you're buckled up! Glad you and your family are safe, Campingpixi! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fishngjb 2 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 So sad ! I saw this in our local paper, as we live on the NC Coast, about 90 miles from this crash. I can only imagine how much fun this family of Grandparents, grandchildren, and children had during their Disney trip. And how heartbreaking for the surviving family. We will have them in our prayers.The title says it all. Three generations of one family were killed while heading home from Disney yesterday.

Duane 152 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 We too were on our way back home from the Fort the day this happened, but we didn't get caught in the delays. It's really sad this has to happen to anyone.I-95 through NC has been in need of repairs for a long time. Its too narrow in some places, and the pavement is just in bad shape in others. There are numerous reports of folks wrecking between the NC/VA line and the Fayetteville area almost every other weekend. There has been talk of making I-95 a toll road the entire length of the state to fund its upgrade, but like everything else its hung up on red tape. Maybe someday it will get fixed.
