They did have seat belts .... thats why Kristian... my little brother was killed.... he was knocked unconcious and then she was strangled by his SEATBELT...
Must be the Firestones...
>>>A rented SUV was speeding at more than 90 mph when it clipped a car it was trying to pass and veered out of control,
When you click on your seatbelt, you are maximizing your chances of surviving. Far more people are killed without a seatbelt who could have survived if they were wearing one than are killed by a seatbelt who would have survived without one. It is smart to play the odds and buckle the belt.
That said, I am sorry for your loss. Nothing justifies such tragedy.
Substitute D.C. for Berkeley California, and I agree...

Well, if anyone had actually been DRIVING this SUV, versus the Evil Possessed Inattimate Object just driving ITSELF, there could have been EIGHT people killed! So we'd better count our blessings!
I hate the MSM.
But I miss Ford Pintos. Now THOSE were cars that killed indescriminately. /sarcasm
yes kelly did have good morals
Hey, I've got an idea! Let's pass a law that all passenger vehicles must be two seaters and must sit low to the ground! How about that for solving your problem!
now that all this time has passed do we know any more about what really happened?
SUV @90 mph + cell phone....
it was at mile marker 170
I honestly cant believe at how ignorant people can be. I do understand everybody has their own opinions. what i dont understand is how ANYONE can sit here and make jokes about 7 people dying including 4 innocent young children. Hope was my sister an for all f you stating that she had her license suspended for an accident that involved harm to other people id like to know where you get your info because it was failure to stop for a bus which did no include an accident nor harm to anyone. another thing is the only time i ever saw my sister take the wheel was when we were on vacation and it was an emergent situatio and she still drove with caution i wont make any excuses because i wasnt there in the vehicle no one will ever know what happened that day but if you know Hope and those childre the way i did you would know she was a good mother and those children loved her more than you could imagine not only was she a good mother she was a good person in general and niki the family wasnt making excuses we were experiencing a tragedy and were trying to make sense of it all and that is the only thing that made sense its awful when something like this happens to a family or families and while we are trying to cope with it people all around the us are posting on a website and making judgement on it if you were ever to be put in a situation like this and came across a website with all of this ignorance you would be disgusted and this could happen to anybody i ont think people understand that one day they were there and the next the police were knocking at our door telling us they were gone...all of them and as for judging all three women on they way you knew one of them to be in elementary school come on dont you have anything better to do my sister was not a gimmegirl and i dont say this just because she is my sister my nieces and nephew were killed and i never once found myself angry with my sister for that and you know why because i know what kind of person/mother she was and she would NEVER put her children or any child in harms way or danger to have fun or be crazy or show off another thing people dont realize is that the media writes what people will read and i hope you all keep that in mind
