count your blessings

two high school kids raced their cars down the guide-meridian in bellingham at 8am today reaching speeds around 80-100 mph on the busy 45 mph street. a truck coming from the other direction didn't see their high rate of speed and started a turn into the costco shopping mall area before being smashed by one of the cars. the impact flipped the pickup into the air before it crashed down on its roof. the truck passenger was killed; the driver was hospitalized. the car which hit the truck caught on fire, severely burning the teen who was pulled from his burning vehicle by onlookers. he is in critical condition in seattle. the other teen fled the scene but later in the day turned himself in to police. (story and pictures.)

sooooo sad for everyone. all it takes is an instant of wrongness and everything goes to hell.
