This is a very sad story. But did you bother to proofread what you wrote? The writing is horrendous the grammar is terrible to punctuation is awful and you don’t know how to spell.
I have to agree with Robin who commented below, awful grammar for a ‘reporter’. Proofread!!
Thoughts and prayers to the families involved.
My son works very close to where the accident accused he say and heard ,many .many people just stopped and took pictures, didn’t get out of the car,vehicles, just keep taking pictures as if they didn’t care about this person lying ,and was trapped, and cameras shutters were going off ,How can a human being who loves people in this world and how would they feel if it was a brother or a cousin or a friend, And this horrible thing was happening so they could get a picture, not trying to stop and save a young man’s life , I hope they feel like a horrible human being and let one of us Americans just die for a picture.
