State Sen. Suzanne Williams veered into oncoming traffic on the evening of Dec. 26 on a highway in Hartley County, Texas, striking a GMC Yukon carrying a pregnant Texas woman, say police. The woman, 30-year-old Brianna Michelle Gomez, died from injuries caused by the accident...

Williams’ two grandchildren were riding in the back of her Honda CRV not fastened into their safety seats, as is required by Texas law...

Williams’ grandson, 3-year-old Tristan Charles Williams, was ejected from the CRV during the accident. The report indicates that he and his 7-year-old brother were lying down in the back seat of the vehicle prior to the accident.

But rather than wait for authorities and emergency crews to respond, Williams moved her grandson Tristan Williams from the roadway back into his safety seat immediately following the accident...

The move by Williams to move her grandson into his safety seat after the accident raises questions because of Williams’ involvement with seat belt and child safety seat legislation.

Williams has pushed for legislation in Colorado that makes seat belt offenses a primary offense, allowing officers to stop cars if passengers aren’t wearing seat belts. Seat belt violations remain a secondary offense in Colorado.

Just did Google News search for 'Senator Suzanne Williams' and nearly none of the MSM outlets (at least the first three listed at the time of this posting) mention her party affiliation, nor the the fact that she picked her grandson off the road after he was ejected and strapped him into a carseat.

Just wow.
