Yesterday was a terribly sad day here. I work from home on Wednesdays and as I was working I kept getting news alerts on my phone about a 'violent' head on crash in the town over. My daughter was home when the alerts first started coming in, but had left a while later to go to the store.

While she was out another alert came in that there was 1 fatality at the scene. A man had robbed a 7-11 and was fleeing from the police. He turned the wrong way down a very busy two lane road and was going 85 mph when he hit another car head on. The suspect survived with non-life threatening injuries, but the person he hit died at the scene.

Shortly after that alert came in, my daughter came through the door crying her eyes out. It was one of her lifelong good friends who was hit. A very sweet girl who used to sleep over all the time when they were little. She was going to be a nurse. :(

We went to the candlelight vigil at the beach last night. Absolutely heartbreaking.
