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 is more fun than a whole sackful of snakes!!
Woohoo... this is gonna get fun. Calling in the cavalry...
Drinks are on me. :-)
My aunt now knows that Mary does not and can not answer prayers.
Nice thing to say.
You must be a lot of fun at parties.
I'm sure your opinion of the matter would be very important to the family just now. I have no doubt that you'll share it.
I loved her and I believe she was a Christian. But the Bible does not say that Mary had any power to answer prayers. No sense in lying about it.
My aunt and I had many conversations about it, as I remained close to her. She was my grandfathers baby sister, and we doted on each other.
Just doesn't seem like a normal thing to say when a loved ones dies.
By the way, find that source yet?
Your friend Raimus made that comment to me after he scoured some of my other postings.
Blame him. You pinged him here.
First of all, I didn't ping him here. Check the thread.
Secondly, we've all read your post history and come up with the same conclusion.
You check it.
Typical.
You make a statement, but won't make the least amount of effort to back it up.
I'm busy. I'm a writer for a PR firm who works from home. I have a toddler and a 15 year old. My grandfather died last week and I was out of town for that funeral. Then my son got sick, then my aunt died, which was not unexpected, but it's not like I live on FR. I have other things to do.
I have a life. I suggest that you too find one. It's rewarding.
Maybe we should go do something fun. I hear there's a sale down at the all-night drive-thru dentist...
:-)
Busy? But not too busy to make up crap to stick in a headline, right?
Not too busy to attack other folks' religions, right?
I call you "troll".
Only if he's a Catholic Mexican. :-)
Source yet?
I get it now... Mexicans are overwhelmingly Catholic!
It's all falling into place now.
I've had about all the fun I can tolerate here. Maybe you'll get better at disguising your agenda as time goes on. I look forward to those times. Perhaps some actually useful discussion will come of it.
Be well.
News flash for you, on the religion forum we discuss religion.
It doesn't have to meet your approval.
