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.

Happy Trails to you........
Can't answer because you are talking about me.
You're the liar.
SHEESH! This thread's STILL going?!
Y'all might want to relax a bit. The mods are on the prowl for disruptive postings. I was just FReepmailed from a poster who was given a, "Time Out," for quoting a line from a movie.
Just a bit of advice. Remember where you are.
I'm out!
:-)
I wish you nothing but the best. But please stop making false claims.
Who were you talking about?
Again, you aren't answering.
As I said, I wish you nothing but the best, but please stop making false claims.
And newsflash, I don't answer to you.
You said you weren't talking about me.
Who were you talking about?
Still no answer, huh?
I'm not surprised.
Would you like to send flowers to the family of Sarah Porter?
Full Court, please do FR a favor and go elsewhere. You give conservatives and the pro-border security a bad name with your obtuse, prejudicial and unapologetic attitude. There are literally THOUSANDS of FReepers who are anti-illegal immigration (including me) who usually jump on these threads like stink on skunks. I see that VERY FEW have even bothered to show up to chime in, let alone to defend you. That should speak volumes to you.
Would you be interested in sending flowers if her name had been Maria Gonzalez, or would you have even bothered to post the story?
Two articles from local TV stations about this accident were found on Google, with no mention of your assertion.
"Maybe I should of majored in English."
There it is again. Should HAVE. It needs a verb, and the verb is HAVE. There is no such expression as "should of".
Unless you plan on providing me with the following information, please do not post to me again:
1. A ~substantiated~ source for adding "Mexican immigrant" to the headline.
2. The name(s) of the posters you were referring to on other threads, since you weren't talking about me (supposedly).
You are a threat to FR and it's disturbing to know you are roaming about making this forum look ridiculous and narrow-minded.
You've proven to anyone who reads this thread what kind of person you are. You will never answer a direct question when you know you are caught in a lie.
Ditto. Life is too short to spend all my time "feeding the animals".
You'd NEVER want to send flowers if she was a Mexican.
Hey! (When are you going to stop gushing in your tagline already?!?) Get a room! LOL.
LOL soon then it'll all be over ;-)
Interesting thread....
