Everyone needs to do thier part, everyone is in such a hurry, slow down, be kind to the next driver, maybe let them in front of you, or let them out of a lot...and then maybe when your trying to get into traffic someone will give you a break

I hate to see another accident here in the same area that we had such a tragedy almost 3 years ago. I pray that these families are doing better tonight and that they recover okay. Just to add that the FD and the EMS done such a great job, they have so much to do in ALL types of weather. I hate to see things like this happen for them to have a job, but I am glad to have such wonderful hands taking care of me.

I work @ another area hospital and its always sad when people lose their jobs. But you need to understand were just a number. Not a valued asset like we would like to think. Thats why we need unions and contracts. Dont you realize your ceo is working under a contract himself!! If you can be unionized , go for it . If you want job security, @ least you can bump into another position. Our hospital had a chance to unionize the RNs and they turned it down ,,,,,,,, so sad they dont realize what management has in store for them.

Any news on the injured? I had just left Cabell Midland after dropping my daughter off, and the road was very slick with standing water! Any word on who was involved?

Those pictures look awful. I hope those involved survive. However, this is what happens when talking on the cell while driving at the sametime tailgating and speeding.
