My friends need prayer

Hey guys,

Not normally like me to make a serious post. But a lot has been going down in my life over the last week. But this isn't about me. Last night our friends struck a woman walking across a highway in our county. I just got word that she died in surgery and our friends feel terrible, even though it probably won't be their fault. They are the kindest, caring and most genuine people we know and they're torn up about it. The guy is 6'4", 240 and a huge teddy bear. He's torn up over the fact that he just had a hand in killing someone. There was nothing he could that would have avoided it -- if he swerved he might have put his, his wife's and their baby lives in jeopardy.

If you pray, please send some this way. If you don't, send your karma, good feelings, warmfuzzies, whatever you feel can help -- this is a terrible situation for both sides to be in.

Definitely sending my prayers and kindest thoughts your friend and his family's way and also for the family of the woman struck. Sorry this happened. I seriously feel you though, my friend died 2 nights ago in a 3 am car crash.

 

hmm ... I will send my pray ... sorry to hear abt this ...

 

Update: The Bellingham Herald / News Update / Renton woman dies after being struck on Guide Meridian

I can promise you he wasn't driving negligently. I can't even get him to go the speed limit half the time!

 

Best of luck man.

 

I am sorry for both your friend as well as the victim's family. I did collision reconstruction for several years. Laying blame or fault never helps...a loss is still a loss.

 

Prayers sent. Hope he can find peace with this horrible unfortunate accident.

 

This happened on my street two days ago: an old man on a cane was crossing the street (a rather busy one) and had the green light for pedestrians. As he was walking slow, he didn't make it to the other side before his light stopped being green, and the cars started going. He was hit, and killed.

Awful, but not anyone's fault...

 

Hope your friend will realize he did everything he could to avoid her other than putting his own family at risk.

Read some of the comments on the first link and seems like that part of the road has had issues such as this, hopefully someone will realize it and do something about it.

 

Prayer's sent man. Trust me it could be much worse, I watched my best friend die last week, he was 19. Why exactly was there a woman walking across the highway?

 

prayer sent.

 

My thoughts and prayers are with him and the families , itll get easier as the days go by

 

Are you kidding? If the story is as you say, it most certainly is the driver(s) faults. Pedestrian moving slowly in a crosswalk... cars are stopped (if the pedestrian's light is green, their light's most definitely red), but then their light turns green and they run him down instead of just waiting while he finishes crossing... noboby's fault?!? Agree it's awful, however.

To the OP - I'm sorry to hear of your friend's situation, and my thoughts go out to him and his family. Additionally, of course, the same to the victim's family - your friend will eventually move on I'm sure, but their lives have been irrevocably changed by this unfortunate accident.

 

Killing a person changes a man. Sad story.

 

Prayer done. Darkstar752 sorry for your loss man, I prayed for you also.

 

Best wishes to everyone, death is something I'm not good with dealing to be honest. The problem I have is just don't know how to react or what to say, but I've learned that sometimes saying simple words is the best thing to say.

So I wish all those involved all the best.

 

Sorry to hear about your friend. Terrible situation. Sure hope he's able to put this behind him.

We had a ambulance strike a woman crossing a 4 lane hwy one night. This was about 10 years ago. She was kinda slow. It was after midnight when she decided to cross the 4 lane. She died at the scene. It was a really bad experience for the crew. There was nothing they could have done. They worked their ass off trying to rescusitate the woman but were unable to. It was pretty traumatic.

I sure hope your friend is gonna be okay. They're in my prayers.

 

prayer's sent

 

Im truly lost for words here, for those who have lost someone, I know exactly how you must feel and I will pray for you all.

I lost my sister when I was 12 in a car crash, so I know the pain the families are going through, you never get over it.

Life just isn't fair sometimes. My thoughts are with you all.

Warmest regards
Paul,

 

Sorry to hear this, prayers for everyone involved.
