Cars, cars are not trucks

Today is definitely a sad day for my family because, for the second time this week, close friends of my parents were involved in a serious road accident. Last Friday one married couple was hit head on by a driver who drifted into their (oncoming) lane at reasonably high speed; both of them are still in intensive care and one still in a coma.

Worse, yesterday afternoon another couple, a wonderful, caring husband and wife I’ve known since I was 15, were killed in a major pileup on the NJ Turnpike, their car crushed between a truck and a bus. I remember the Trotts so fondly and their older daughter Susan was responsible for me meeting my first wife. They will be missed.
