One person has died and five others have been rushed to an area hospital after a van transporting the Columbus (Ohio) Worthington Kilbourne girls’ water polo team crashed on the way to a competition in Napoleon, Ohio, according to multiple reports.
Roughly two hours after the team posted on its Twitter account, “Off to the first tournament in Napoleon,” their van collided with a grain truck near Toledo, reports said. Courtney Fisher, 19, was pronounced dead and five more people were helicoptered to a nearby hospital with what ABC 6 and FOX 28 are reporting as “life-threatening injuries.” The five are Vicki Fisher, 45; Betsey Fisher, 17; Melanie Fisher, 14; Samantha Fink, 15; and Sydney Zullich, 14.

According to police, Vicki Fisher, was driving the van and pulled out in front of the truck when she failed to yield.
Henry County Sheriff Michael Bodenbender told NBC 4, describing the accident as one of the worst he has seen in 26 years on the job. “I feel for these people,” he added.
The van was carrying family members in addition to student-athletes, reports said.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is Exhibit A for why a driver must pay attention to what is going on outside and mostly ignore whatever is going on inside.
Quit chattering with everyone in the car. Ignore the ringing phone, turn off the radio. Your job is to arrive at your intended destination. Focus on that, you as the driver are not part of whatever good times everyone else is having en route.
Sadly, I'm betting Ms. Fisher agrees with me if she survives.

I'm sure you've never made a mistake while driving.
We all have, and some of us pay for it.

If all the Fisher's listed are related, that means mom was driving, one daughter died, and two other daughters are in the hospital.
What a sad story, hope all the girls in the hospital make a full recovery.
