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.

Good morning.
"If you read every post on this thread you'd understand; I'm not sure it's worth the time you'd invest, however"

I have, and I have to say that I've yet to find a thread in the FreeRepublic that wasn't worth the time and effort.

Sometimes I learn about myself and sometimes I learn about others, but it is always worth the effort.

That's great; I haven't had quite the solid results you have. ;)

FWIW, here's an example of how to post a thread where the information is relevant:

Deadly Crash - driver that was involved is an illegal immigrant

While the author ~did~ change the title (and should not have except parenthetically), the information is contained in the story.

That's all we've ever asked from you.

No, it's called I have a life. I do not spend 24/7 on FR. As a matter of fact, I am finished with this thread as it belongs in the "smokey back room" due to the nastiness and personal insults.

May God bless you all and good-bye!

Good morning.
"When she could not, she called us "immigration apologists" who belong at DU."

That's true. I've never understood the thing about sign up dates and belonging at DU.

It pretty much means you've run out of argument.

I ~did~ post a list of sign up dates up the thread when she told us we were ruining FR. None of those questioning her have been here less than 5-6 years.

It's not ~really~ relevant. However, I think we all know there have been multiple "Freepers" sign up with the sole purpose of disruption. I don't think she's on that list.

I don't know any of you so I don't know where you stand,

I have been told by other Freepers that at least one of them and possibly two are hispanic, so they tend to attack any American who dares to have a problem with illegal aliens.

The fact that we're all Hobbit Holers is irrelevant.

Not only are you a race baiter who attacks anyone who is against illegal aliens, you are also a major liar.

I said yesterday that your comment about the woman being alive if the borders were secure was the stupidest thing I've ever heard on FR.

You just trumped that.

You'd think an adult woman would merit a passing mention... :]

I have posted about it time and time again, yet your fellow Hobbit Holers do not seem to be concerned about either victim, Sarah Porter or her baby.

Please notice that this source has still not surfaced.

I told you from the beginning that the Birmingham News was liberal and did not include all the facts.

I also told you that the information was reported on TV and radio news.

Full Court, you're letting your hysteria get in the way.

Linda, have you ~ever~ posted in the Hobbit Hole? You're certainly more than welcome. But in over four years, I don't recall seeing you there.

So, to you, does hispanic=in favor of illegal aliens? Because that's not so AT ALL in my case, honey. And, you can check my posting history to prove it. My problem originally was the UNSOURCED, UNLINKED assertion in the thread title (now removed) that these were "Mexican immigrants", which without a source or link, appears to be an assumption based on their surnames. MOST OF THE TIME on FR, when someone adds to a headline parenthetically, they're adding a detail that is IN THE STORY BEING POSTED but that isn't mentioned in the headline.

Please do me and the rest of the "secure the borders/anti-illegal immigration" bunch a favor and don't claim to be one of us....you'll hurt our cause.

I've been here for about four months; I saw the references to "Hobbit Holers" but didn't know what it meant. It doesn't sound complimentary.

PMFJI, not only have I never posted in the "Hobbit Hole", but I don't even really have any idea WHAT a "Hobbit Hole" is, let alone what the HH thread is about........

We're a fun bunch. If a bit quirky.

The Hobbit Hole.

Those comments were made AFTER the alien apologist crew accused me of being a racist, hating Mexicans and saying that other Freepers have a "kill-em-all" attitude.

I feel like their bigotry towards me and other Freepers makes Freerepublic look bad. It seems like something a liberal would do.

Mrs. Porter would be dead anyway if she hadn't been hit head on by illegal aliens?

Explain please.
