Hammond man killed when 24 year old runs red light

Gotta imagine texting/browsing is a possible cause

Cook was taken to a hospital where he later died. Reid was taken to a hospital for minor injuries. State Police did not say if Reid will face charges or be ticketed.

I’m not saying that I wish that the woman would’ve died, but isn’t it strange how it always seems to work out like this with who lives and who dies?

I'm not going to fully judge her as I've done the same thing. I wasn't drunk or looking at any cell phone. Just tired and dazed out and ran a light not realizing a light was there until I was right under it. Hit a guy in a F350 in his bed. Thankful I hit the bed and not driver door and thankful it was a big truck and I didn't just send it flying. I managed to barely slam brakes at last second. That probably was difference in me hitting driver door and prob seriously injure him or the bed. Could've been bad.
