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 will pray for you then.
Tell you what.
Ping me back when you finally find that missing source, OK?
Gee....thanks??
Usually in name only. Once they get to the states where the RCC doesn't control so much, they usually fade from the RCC. We love to evangelize them.
I've posted ONE STORY regarding illegal aliens.
Maybe YOU will get better at disguising your attempts to malign Freerepublic and the people who post here.
Just ping us when you find the source, Full Court.
Hang out a few more years and then we'll talk. I don't see your name on the donors list.
You say you like to evangelize Mexican Catholics... I presume you check their legal status before you share the Good News with them, right?
No way, that makes them nervous. I just want them to get saved.
So is my family.
Expectant mom dies in collision [with Mexican immigrants]on Easter Sunday ping.
Were these illegals?
Bwaahahhaa...
Game. Set. Match.
And by a newbie at that. Well done. :-)
One more "illegal, uninvited gueat" doing what ordinary Americans refuse to do.
Ping, expectant mom killed in wreck by undocumented hispanics.
yeah, it's too bad it wasn't the dead pregnant lady that was the illegal, huh? She'd have got what was comin' to her.
Source?
I'd like to know how the illegals get car tags in Alabama. I know what we have gone through in this state to get one. It is like drawing blood. Now that the law requires insurance, it really makes me wonder.
Hmm... you know, Americans are world travelers. They fly to a distant country, rent a car, go to their motel, visit the sights. And often the traffic signs are not written in English, not to mention they are not identical to the ones that we use.
And somehow, these Americans actually drive on their vacations without causing a car accident.
I do not believe that the driver's reading comprehension had much to do with the car accident.
Accidents happen all the time. And often there is no good explanation for them. That's why they are called "accidents" and not "on-purposes".
Take a drive up and down Hwy 31 in Alabaster lately? Check it out for yourself and get back to FullCourt and me.
Flame suit on, go ahead.
RMDupree: I live here!
Why this story wreaks with illegal:
First clue: Address unknown (no DL!).
Second clue: taken to UAB!!!!!!!!
You are free to come visit, I will even put you up at my home. You can head to the apartment complex 3 miles down the road. I will give you a clip board and you can go door to door and if you can prove the legality of 90% of the people in that complex, I will personally go to each one and apologize for my despising their criminality.
