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 haven't seen anything that tells me what their nationality is.
*snerk*
Not that I'm racist or anything but trust me, there are some things I can do myself. Sheetrocking is one of them.
Another lying hatefilled post from jenb! Keep it up girl, you are really looking "good."
"Oh, look Hon... she's up on the high horse. Isn't that cute? Quick, get a picture."
You reported it from your own mind. Their nationality does not appear anywhere in the article nor anywhere else.
Do you have some kind of racial issues hang up?
Nope. It appears you do though.
Well, you are the one who added the words about "mexican illegals" to the title, right? And I don't think you were doing it to start a defense fund for them. So yes, it looks like you were trying to stir up hatred against them based on their country of origin.
If this story had been about Billy Joe Bob and Bubba in Tennessee getting drunk and killing a woman and her child, would you have posted it?
"I've got the camera!"
Leave my family out of this.
If it were your family, they'd have hit your car. And you wouldn't have died either. Just been left paralyzed for life.
What business is it of yours? I even quoted Mel Gibson's silly movie. Get real.
IF YOU READ THE QUOTE YOU WILL SEE THAT IT ISN'T A QUOTE BY MOHAMMED, IN ITS OWN CONTEXT. IT IS A QUOTE BY AHMAD BATEBI, GIVEN IN MARCH OF 2000.
THE INFERENCE TO MOHAMMED IS INCLUDED IN AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THIS YOUNG MAN WHO HAS BEEN WRONGLY IMPRISIONED BY THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT... ALL FOR PROTESTING THE VIOLENCE OF THE REGIME AGAINST THE YOUTH MOVEMENT!
THOSE THAT PUSH FOR DEMOCRACY INSIDE OF IRAN ARE THREATENED, IMPRISIONED AND KILLED... ALL FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH!
It is really sad that you can read such a statement and find that the young man's statement is strange, and that I should be questioned. Human dignity knows no bounds. My allegiance and loyalty is not diminished by those who try to label me. Try, try again.
And you just have so much hatred in your heart that you sit around and make up baseless accusations against people you do not even know?
Why?
Hmmm? And who would be falsely accused, here?
No, Full Court, I didn't pray for you. I figured you evangelize enough that you feel you've got your bases covered.
I had more important things to pray about, thank you. And I prayed for the men. DID YOU PRAY FOR ALL THREE OF THEM?
I've composed but not posted a couple replies to this, and I still have to admit I haven't got the foggiest idea what you mean by that. It's perplexing.
As far as the evidence shows, everyone in this story may very well be an American, and I do care about them... so I guess I'll just give up and punt. Beats me.
~snicker~
Then why did you include those words in the headline? Why not post the story and then at the bottom, in the "comments" section, say you'd heard on the radio that they were illegal? Why are you still refusing to back up that claim?
"... it's not about race."
Then what does the following have to do with the article?
"The Birmingham news is famous for not covering any news relating to illegals, or trying to put a spin on it. They are very pro illegals."
Just because they have Spanish last names you assumed they are illegal immigrants.
I don't think all Americans are racist. However, it would appear that you are.
"... 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."
Oh Lordy, Lordy. Those hispanics have the nerve to come to this site and stand up for themselves... it's surprising they even know how to use a computer. < / sarc>
Btw, you are being told by other Freepers (Caucasians) who have a problem with your racist views.
LOL!
