What an awful, irresponsible, and insensitive headline. There are many other catchy headlines than that. Of course the victim was in pain from the injuries in the wreck. Being trapped in a mangled vehicle is no fun either. Put the shoe on the other foot...if that was you in that vehicle, how would you react...how would you feel about seeing that headline. Good Grief! Go to school.

Well, I am disappointed. I really held out hope that these "rants" actually meant something. I was hoping to see at least a change in the headline, but the original rant is not even showing so I guess it got deleted. I will consider myself ignored.

Driver is negligent. Driver runs red light. Driver gets t-boned by truck. Driver reaps the harvest of his negligence. Totally unfortunate and a very painful way to learn the need to pay attention and drive by the rules created to keep us all safe.
