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.

Actually she pinged me 'cause I are smart.
YOU jumped the thread baby. You took comments from another thread and used comments from this thread.
Maybe YOU better watch your back when you screw up like that.
No one on the other thread called Dupree crazy, she knows it and you know it.
So YOU ought to stop trying to start trouble by breaking FR rules.
Liar, no one mentioned you.
First of all, it's "Holers". No apostrophe.
Secondly, for all we know, the other drivers were Americans too.
Oh wait! They can't be because they have Hispanic last names, right? *rolls eyes*
I'm beginning to really worry that maybe I've pushed this too far. It's not ~rational~ to quip out about all this "hatefulness" you delude yourself into seeing.
I honestly don't wish to tread on any bona fide condition you may have. Are you being treated for any disorders?
Source please?
I won't wait up.
Thanks again for trashing the thread about Sarah Porter, young mom to be.
You were talking about me. And the other folks on this thread.
But you'll hang on to that lie too.
I'm sure you meant to mention the other injured persons too. Perhaps that was just an oversight.
Ya know, when people like Dupree without cause claim that Freepers want to kill Mexicans, when she claims I am a racist, when she makes false statements about me, I consider that to be hateful.
And I consider you to be stupid for going along with it.
Get some cajones.
I wonder how you'd be acting if her name was Maria Gonzalez.
He has some. They're mine.
Get your own.
I never said a word about you, you are delusional to even make that claim.
That's who this thread was about?
Funny, I didn't see that in the title.
bwahahahahahaha!!!!
No actually I didn't. A young mother died, along with her baby. That is the tragic event here.
Oh, of course. They *might* be Mexican. I forgot.
Just think of all the time we'd have saved today if the dead woman had a hispanic name too.
Who were you referring to then?
Who were you calling crazy?
Who were you calling an illegal apologist?
Who did you say was attacking you?
Yeah, it's obvious who wears the pants in this "______________".
