The following is a more
The following is a more detailed account of what happened. The driver was a 15 year female (name not listed). Read the article for more information. The Driver of the van, Scott, is a friend of mine who is in critical condition right now and not doing well. At the minimum, I hope the 15 year old will NOT be allowed to get her license until after she turns 21. I alos hope her mother, Lori Thomas, gets into trouble. Evidently, she was not paying attention to the studen driver. Mostly, I pray for the recovery of Scott and the other victims of this avoidable accident.
