I see it now. They are really small looking.

Praying for those injured. Hope there were no children involved.

Truck hit a sedan (which hit people), then the truck hit people.

One woman at the scene said a silver truck whisked by her just feet away as she was walking through the neutral ground at the intersection. "I actually literally felt it. I felt a rush it was so fast," Carrie Kinsella said. Kinsella said the silver truck was travelling down river on Carrollton Avenue when it crossed over into netural ground. It hit a white Chevrolet Malibu, sending it into a utility pole. Another woman Kourtney McKinnis, 20, said the driver of the truck seemed almost unaware of what he had just done.

As the husband of an RN, I am going to take this time to thank the emergency response personnel. Not all heroes wear capes. They went to work today and you know they didn't want to be there. They drew the short straw and are stuck in house or on call for Endymion. But, when the time comes they put on their big boy/girl pants and answer the prayers for so many loved ones.

It's only by pure luck an accident like this hasn't happened before. Carrollton is way to crowded for traffic on Endymion Saturday.

I doubt all 12 did, the lesser injured went elsewhere to not overwhelm the resources at one facility, even at UMC.
