Looks like that truck flipped end over end....... you have to be moving to do that.


God speed to the family.

Oh, definitely. A good boy.

quote:

Codney Amest had just put her son and two nieces on the bus and was sitting on her porch when she said she saw the truck strike two girls, go into a ditch, come out airborne and then strike another girl and the telephone pole.

Another resident in the area, Apollonia Amest, said . . . . . . the driver crawled out the back window of his truck screaming, “it wasn’t him.”

For those familiar with Breaux Bridge, a short video of the scene/location here if you're interested LINK

eta: God bless those little kids and Godspeed to their loved ones.

I'm not good enough to forgive folks who perpetrate such horror or to not wish unspeakable suffering upon them.

To me, their very existence is pointless.

These pictures are devastating. A backpack, notebook and a shoe.

Frick. I don't like reading about it. Can't imagine seeing that. Two little girls hit like that. Damn.

This story has made my blood run cold.

I can't even fathom what those parents must be going through.

Please, please let the injured child pull through.

has anyone said if the kids were siblings or not?


I don't want kids, but that being said if we do change our mind or something like this happened to wife or family I am not sure how I could keep myself from revenge

frick.

I would do whatever it took to kill that son of a bitch thug piece of shite driver even if I have to go to prison for the rest of my life. I've seen how the loss of a child can just really destroy a parent and it's just so heart breaking.

The family has my thoughts and prayers. May they persevere and endure this tragedy and heal properly to the fullest extent possible.

Not officially, I don't think. A witness (See link in my post above) said the first two struck were sisters who moved here not long ago and the third was struck farther along, near the telephone pole the truck hit. If that's true, the bastard hit two kids, kept going until he hit a third, and if he hadn't wrecked would probably have kept going until he hit a few more.

It's just an awful thing to happen, especially when the driver (from all accounts) was acting a damn fool. Totally preventable. Makes me so mad and sad I feel sick when I think about it.

eta: and to the poster who's down-voting every comment in this thread, you're acting a fool, too. If you have something to say, show yourself and say it.

I cannot even begin to fathom what the parents of these children are feeling. Truly heartbreaking.

May God provide them comfort.

The driver is Jeremy J. Abraham of Breaux Bridge.

I cannot confirm this is the driver, only going off of the name and the red truck pictured.

Sad situation. I saw that video a little earlier. Guy crawled out the back window and was laying in the ditch saying he didn't do it. He's obviously highly impaired.

Do you know if all 3 are related then? The news is reporting the same last name for all 3. This makes me unbelievably angry and sad.
