    Between the college kids flying up that street to COC East and the natural openness of the street, there is a bad accident at least once every couple weeks. I live two miles from that spot and have seen it from Vasquez to Soledad. Sucks.

    Very sad. I passed by and my heart broke. Looks like everything that was strewn about were items in her van. Very, very upsetting.

  22. Pray for the family.

  23. I’m still in shock, and still wonder how fast was she going, and how she loose control.. When I was driving through there I was praying to God that no kids where in this car..? May The Lord keep her soul in eternal peace..
