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.

I'll have to go back and re-read my posts to Full Court.
I thought I was using logic and reason. Or at least, I was trying. ;-)
Besides, Katie would rather die than show a thread that shows how FReepers ganged up on a possible race-baiter.
She'd pick one of the other threads that just has tons of folks on it describing how they'd "deal" with the illegal immigration problem instead.
I'm sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences.
It is an emotional story. And because the LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA left out the important details I added them.
My concern here is for the VICTIMS, not the perps.
Illegal is not a race. Please don't try and frame this in a racist way.
I never answered you because YOU never answered the question about calling the speech police.
And you know this how?
A driver who has no license, probably can't read the traffic signs can't cause accidents?
It's far more interesting to watch your mindset at work while you attack American citizens for simply believing that the laws of this country should be obeyed, by EVERYONE.
They stuck this in chat, eh?
What she is trying to say Ranbdall is don't you dare say anything at all negative about anything hispanic on a thread she is on or she will attack you also.
Yep. I was sure that it'd get deleted.
The "speech police" don't exist, Full Court.
You are truly deranged.
Please read posts #254-#256.
That is not what I'm trying to say.
By the way.....did you find the source yet? :-D
"Easter Sunday" was not left out of the story. It was included in the article.
The "Mexican immigrant" part was not included though. That's the "fact" I've been waiting all day for you to post a source for.
What is the purpose of testing for drivers licences? Your"logic" is deficient, btw. Wasting time. Bye.
I see that the race-baiting continues. I'm surprised, really.
Oh well... tally ho... :-)
You're gone again?
Hope you're finding that source we've all been waiting for.
Randall... I think your post says some really good things, and if I might submit, has been the very intent of many of us on this thread.
You most certainly did by calling me a racist, a truly unfounded bigoted remark.
as she could easily be a troll trying to paint us into a corner by throwing out racial assumptions as a FReeper.
My posting history is readily available.
Why do you think it is even normal for you to make up such lies about people? YOU are the one making FR look bad as I noted the first time you tried to lie about me.
Why don't you just stop?
You're the one that posted the story, changed the title to make it about race, and doesn't have a source for your allegations.
Please try again...
