The Road is closed! But Why?

I have seen way more in the short amount of time as a news photographer than I ever care to say or relive, but what happened last Wednesday on Caple road was surreal. A Dodge Neon Srt/4 driven by a high school student with minimal driving experience hit a tree at upwards of 110mph. Prior to arriving at the scene I was hearing it was really bad and began to think back on the worst of the worst. The first dead body I ever saw was pulled out of car in Tennessee maybe 1 month into my first job as a news photographer. Followed by many more but nothing even compares to that scene in quiet little Eaton Township. Ripped, shredded, destroyed, exploded, decimated, and gone! It was a car at one time but as it sits in the front yard of three homes in hundreds of pieces and 3 major chunks it just junk. Wait though two teenage kids were in that at one time why did this happen? What was going through the guys head across the street when his day stood still and he witnessed two kids die? What do the first responders do when there is nothing you can do? I'm just the news arriving afterwards to tell people who want to know and not know why the road is closed. Something’s affect me more than others but this was weird. On one side a bad decision was made by the driver and he paid for it. On the passenger side is a friend getting a ride home three days before his seventeenth birthday. So I guess if the driver was alone it would have been much easier to say he didn't hurt anyone but himself and his family with his actions but he did, an entire other family is suffering and not to mention everyone else that had to see or hear about it.
For me it’s just another horrible scene from 2008 that’s been full of tragedy. Three plane crashes, a murdered elderly man in his wheel chair just out enjoy the end of another day thinking back on life smoking a cigarette caught up in the cross fire of thug life in the city. That’s the one that’s always there I can’t shake it. A blood soaked wheel chair and a shocked community. With me again to tell people why the road is closed. How about no more road closures?
