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.

The only race baiter here is you. Anyone reading this thread would see right through what you tried to do.
My foster daughter is black, my cousins are half black. I don't have to and SHOULD NOT HAVE to defend myself against the likes of you just because you wanted to troll this thread and accuse me of things that ARE TOTALLY UNTRUE.
You also maligned FreeRepublic by claiming that people here hate Mexicans and have a "kill-em-all" attitude.
Why try and destroy the credibility of FR by paining it and it's posters as Mexican hating racists???
Unfounded? You added "Mexican immigrant" to a headline without any evidence to support that information within the article.
You based that on the last name of the other driver. Admit it.
Full Court - where is the source for you adding "Mexican immigrant" to the headline?
I did not change the title to "make it about race," that just more fiction and bigotry from you.
I added in brackets certain facts that I was aware of to point out how the LIBERAL NEWS MEDIA in Birmingham will distort the FACTS.
Now, I must insist that you stop implying that I and/or any other poster here on FR who is against illegal immigration is a racist.
Some parts of your posts were very logical.
I thought I was being very generous by not adding ILLEGAL MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS.
Wow... now there's some low-hangin' fruit if I ever saw it.
Do you even realize that you just posted that the "illegal" part doesn't matter to you, yet the "Mexican" part does? Is this starting to register yet?
Since I don't disrespect Mexican's, but illegal aliens, I only see what you are doing as race baiting.
Do you have a source to add the "illegal" part too?
I guess it was the "MEXICAN IMMIGRANT" in your brackets that threw me. Dopey me.
I added in brackets certain facts that I was aware of
What color is the sky on your home planet? Certain facts only available to ~you~?? Know this: I'm relying on the facts presented in the ~story~. If you have additional facts, please provide sources. But we already know, given the title you provided, what facts you had available when you wrote it.
My great-aunt died. She's been ill almost a month. She was Catholic. I hope it's ok with you that I attended to some family needs.
If y'all are all that interested, tune into Russ and Dee Fine's radio show tomorrow and maybe you can pick up more info.
So if being Mexican doesn't matter, why did you post that in the headline?
I'd think that "illegal immigrant" would be sufficient. That is, if you ever provided us with a source for it.
Do you have a hang up about race or something?
You're the one that posted "Mexican" in the title without a source, not me.
I's say you're the one with a hang-up.
Gotta source yet?
LOL... Of course you do.
I'm sorry to hear about your aunt. Perhaps she can pray to Mary for something...
You seem to have a history of seeing bigotry about you...
We really need a better class of troll around here. The really good trolls would remember that they were catholic-baiting on one thread and race-baiting on another.
You got that right.
This one just goes around throwing out loaded statements and then acts as if she is the victim when folks respond.
Ping...
It's the snakes. Makes 'em crazy. :-P
