At 4 a.m., I suspect alcohol was involved. Thankfully, no one died. The article didn't state whether it was the driver or the passenger who suffered critical injuries. I hope it was the driver if it was a DUI.

@Karla Payne
At 12:30 a.m., I suspect you are just someone who has nothing better to do in life other than making baseless assumptions without any consideration to the families who are affected by this incident. Thankfully, the world has more thoughtful people than you. The article didn't state whether it was alcohol that brought about the accident. I hope you contemplate your mistake in making such an unwarranted speculation.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom. IRead More wasn't going to stand by and see kids not have the basic things they needed to get through the class and most teachers are of the same mind :) Sadly, school budgets have never covered all the needs in classrooms.
