TISHOMINGO, Okla. (AP) — The teenage driver of a small car that collided with a large truck in Oklahoma, killing all six occupants in the car, tested negative for alcohol but positive for cannabis after her death, according to a preliminary report released Thursday.

Maybe they can revive the driver and punish her? 🤪
This.
The younger crowds cannot separate themselves from phones even while driving.
"road was swaying from left to right, then right to left, then up to down, then down to up"
"Driving under any impairing substance should be illegal"
Oh, yeah.
“ I am against pot legalization, but you are correct. There is also no shortage of 16 year old drivers exercising poor judgment when not impaired”
Underage weed use is already illegal in our state
"one if the old style ones"
Cannabis residue can last in the system for up to two weeks; who says she was on it when the crash occurred? (why the heck are there two c’s and two r’s in the word:occurred)
I was anti marijuana for years until I got severe PTSD. The crap the Big Farm has and was pushed on me to take by doctors were a hell of a lot worse than weed. With any other drug, it can be abused but it’s been the best thing I’ve ever taken and the best damn part, I’m recovering. If I was still listening to the doctors, I would be drugged up and scheduled to take their crap every day. I don’t with Marijuana. I’ve gone from taking it every day to once a week if flare ups start.
You don’t need much to help. The problem is when people abuse it, that’s when you here about it.
Agreed,
Tragic that happened.
Period.
RIP
touch screens on every dashboard are accidents waiting to happen...
and remove the computers from police cruisers...
Good work!
Hmmmm. I was real stoopid at 16. Looking back now 59 years later........ I haven’t changed much. 😊🙌

Thank you for the reasoned post. THC has a medicinal use and is to be used by responsible patients. Appreciate your open address of the topic. You make more sense thant he folks who ‘self medicate’ using alochol to excess.
Yeah, I think most of us don’t completely outgrow that.
Double date, my buddy and me in the trunk and GFs driving. There was a trunk release in the glove box of the Olds 88 my folks had. Took the girls a little longer than we liked after we got into the drive in for them to figure it out. Or highly likely they left us there for a reason. LOL!
An old trick. My town has cruise nights for vintage cars in the summer. It’s amazing how big some of those old cars are, and how much space they have. I drive a Mercury Grand Marquis, which is big and spacious, but not as much as a lot of the old cars.
You mention Civics and football players. One time we were hanging out in the high school parking lot during lunch and there was an early ‘70’s Civic parked there. The first time I had seen one. We were talking about how small it was and one of the football players, who was huge, bet he could lift it. He backed up to the rear bumper and lifted it a good foot off the ground. You could have gotten only two football players of his size into a Civic.
Underage drinking laws always kept us from getting the forbidden liquid. :o}
