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 thought it'd die but it hasn't...it's like looking at a car accident ;-)
You got that right.
The only threat to this forum is people like you who insist that Freepers have a "kill-em-all" attitude towards Mexicans. And the fact that you make baseless charges doesn't help either.
If I listened to people like you who smear Freerepublic with your hate filled words and false charges, I'd be very stupid.
But I'm not so I won't.
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.

It's getting old.
