There is a better write-up in the paper local to Rockledge but they do not allow excerpting or even linking. If you are interested in more details, you might find them on a site with a name similar to usatoday.com but with the state name Florida instead of the country name. And if that still violates their terms then by all means don't give them the clicks. Let them figure out where their business model went wrong.

By all reports she was an outstanding student-athlete. Lawson survived and is facing charges. Prayers for the Brown family and the family of the other driver whose life was snuffed out by Lawson and the unknown pickup truck driver.

I did a lot of stupid things when I was young and some of them involved cars. I have always been grateful that my stupid antics never resulted in anyone getting injured or killed. It was only by the grace of God that I was not in the shoes of the young man who is facing charges. I do not know if I could have faced the world knowing I caused the death of another person through my stupidity. So I pray for all involved and their families. May God give them strength and comfort.

I was towing my racecar down the Florida Turnpike in South Dade one rainy morning at the speed limit. A new Mustang passed me going only a little faster, crested a minor bridge culvert, spun out and hit the ARMCO.

Big, heavy engines shouldn't be in street cars with a short-coupled wheelbase.

Ping to a tragedy. Lindsay Brown, a 19 year old Air Force Academy sophmore, lost her life in a car accident while home on Christmas holiday. She was a top student and a star athelete on the swim team in high school.

Lindsay spoke to the students at her high school on Wednesday about life and opportunities after high school. Her coach talked about her leadership on the swim team and in the classroom. She could have easily been going to Florida State or the University of Florida on a state scholarship. She no doubt qualified for an Ivy League education and had her choice of top schools. Instead she chose the Air Force Academy and was going to serve her country, the same as all those wonderful young people in our service academies. She will be missed. Please send prayers for her family and her fellow cadets.

Serious? That's so stupid there is nothing to say.
