Expectant mom dies in collision
A 27-year-old expectant mother died in a head-on collision Sunday on U.S. 31 in Shelby County, authorities said.
Sarah Porter, 27, of Jemison died in the 11:20 a.m. accident, said Sgt. Tim Sartain, Alabama State Troopers spokesman. She was six months pregnant, said Doug Ballard Jr., Shelby County coroner.
Her husband, 29-year-old Heath Porter, remained in critical condition at UAB Hospital Sunday night, said Bob Shepherd, hospital spokesman.
Marco Guarviola, 26, address unknown, a passenger in the 2003 Chevrolet pickup truck that collided with the Porters' 2002 Volkswagen, was also taken to UAB Hospital, where he was listed as critical Sunday night, Shepherd said.
Manuel Valdez, 22, address unknown, who was also in the truck, was taken to Princeton Baptist Medical Center. Efforts to reach a hospital spokesman Sunday night were unsuccessful.
The accident, which occurred in the Saginaw community just south of Alabaster, is under investigation, Sartain said. He declined to provide details.
Several serious accidents have occurred at the site, Sartain said.
"I don't understand why so many accidents have occurred at this particular location," Sartain said. "Traffic is moderately heavy, but the street is a straight, two-lane stretch."
Accident fatalities are always sad, Sartain said.
"But this happening on Easter Sunday is such a tragedy," he said.

THIS ILLEGAL crappola IS NOT NEW.
Back in 1978 in Texas two illegals caused a wreck that caused a little girl to be effectively BRAIN DEAD in a car wreck. See, those idiots pulled one cement truck across a divided highway with a CHAIN hooked to another cement truck!! The driver of the car traveling on the north bound lane of the highway had no way to see the CHAIN.... it cut throught the roof of the car and topped off the little girl's head as she sat in the back seat. The driver was injured severely but she survived, barely.
The girl died later, after much agony for her family. She was the granddaughter of a close friend of ours.
The illegals fled back to Mexico .....got off scott free... AS USUAL!
The roolz do not apply to Full Court.
Honestly, that is the stupidest statement I've read on FR in months.
Ah... and thin-skinned too, I see.
You're pretty new to be so concerned about the reputation of FR. I think I know exactly what you're up to.
Then why do you troll threads and call people racists??????????
I don't care how frustrated we are with illegal immigration.
We do not have the right to go after an entire race of people because of it or make excuses for such behavior.
As I said before, please refrain from lying about me, and we'll get along just great.
Again, I understand the frustration we all have with illegal immigration in this country.
My point was you cannot just stick "Mexican immigrant" into a headline without some proof in the article, other than a Hispanic last name.
Agreed. They start here.
What in the world are you talking about?????????????
I didn't troll this thread.
I asked where you got the "mexican immigrant" addition to the headline from.
It was a relevant question considering that it was not detailed in your original post.
Hey Corin, thanks so much for pointing out that RMdupree falsely stated something about me that was totally untrue and uncalled for.
I am deeply grateful for your chasing down that fact and link.
And the question has been answered over and over again to you.
Again, one of the points of this story is that the LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA will spin these type stories.
Maybe it's ok with you to do that, I don't know.
I have to live here, and it's not OK with me.
Bwaaahahhaa... calling somebody else a troll... please... that's rich.
Racism is as racism does... Let's see: Making the assumption that somebody is an illegal mexican immigrant based *solely* on the names in the story...
Then you seem to think that if they'd crashed into citizens she'd be somewhat less dead.
This story is horrific and tragic and saddening enough without having to also provide a soapbox for people to yell about their own pet agendas. That's despicable.
I personally have posted one story in regards to the issue.
Am I now a ranter for America?
The worst part is that Full Court and his cohorts will never understand why.
In your dreams. Your hate and hysteria is all over this thread.
I am deeply grateful for your chasing down that fact and link.
I seriesly doubt that. But hey, you're delusional, so maybe so.
FWIW, I've known RMDupree for over four years. I know how off base you are.
You're doing yourself a great disservice to continue your rantings.
I believe this is the second or third time I have asked you not to lie about me or call me a racist.
I have posted time and time again that one of the main points of this story is that the LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA, in this case, the Birmingham news LEFT OUT details which were reported on local TV and radio news.
Please, do not lie about me again, or imply that I am a racist of some kind.
I might have thought the same thing. A person with a hispanic last name is labeled a Mexican, and from the sound of your post, you are assuming it was in illegal. While I wouldn't call you a racist, I'd say that you almost sounded like one there, originally. Actually, I wouldnt use the term racist, because I consider Mexicans to be a different ethnic group, but thats just picking nits..
I have a black foster daughter. I will not allow people to malign my character based on THEIR bigoted remarks.
Your posts have done far more to malign your character than the person who didn't quite come out and call you a racist. Also, just because you have a black foster daughter doesn't make you any less racist than the rest of us, sheesh.
You should find the person who started with the filthy hateful attacks and reprimand them.
They were neither filthy nor hateful, but truly, methinks thou doth protest too much.
