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.

Oh no, I didn't miss the point. I just ignore terribly uncouth people who have nothing better to do than to point out grammar or spelling errors. It's such a sign of insecurity that people think they need to point things like that out. I do feel sorry for the dears, it might be all they have to make themselves feel superior.
I actually began posting in the thread by pointing out that you had no linked source for your assertion that these were Mexican immigrants; but that seemed to fall on deaf ears, so I decided to move down to your level of intellect.
I dont think its a sign of insecurity when people do point those things out, or its something they do to make themselves feel superior...myself, I try to spell things correctly, and when I dont I appreciate it when someone points it out to me...and if I make a mistake grammtically, I also appreciate it when someone points that out to me...I just take it, as being helpful...
Many people take things in various ways, tho, I guess...we are all different...
Why do you denigrate yourself so much by saying things like that?
Well, if you read the above post, you will see that hispanera's motive was not pure.
One can always tell these things.
Ummm...I was asking for a source.
The source that you don't have.
You're being sarcastic now... right? Sometimes it's hard to tell.
It was on radio and TV. You knew that from the beginning. So why you went on some witch hunt and accused your fellow freepers of wanting to Kill Mexicans is beyond me and I don't mean to offend you, but if you actually believe that Freepers are like that, maybe you need to seek help, the professional kind.
There can be only one.
Well, I have received awards, and I do get paid to write.
On radio and TV according to ~you~.
NO ONE ELSE has backed this up nor have you provided a linkable source.
You're the one that didn't care about the injuries to the "illegals"... do you have some kind of memory disorder or something? I don't want to poke fun if this is a genuine disability.
A major award?
Frageelay?
I knew that was coming....either by words or by picture...
Are you a writer too? ;-)
"I am thrilled to share with you that that
I'm a female.
