i thought cl drivers would be smarter than to run a redlight with a child in the car, and a firetruck heard close by

 

its a 97... hope not a member here.. either way, hope the child makes it out ok...

 

ya, i hope its not a member either, its an older woman from ri who was driving the car so probably not.....but ya, hope the girl is ok and hope she wasnt on that side of the car

 

damn

 

Man, clean looking car too.

 

i've seen that car around actually. the funny thing is that i was around that area today when it happened but i didn't see anything.

 

Damn that sucks...

 

 

"JOHNSTON, R.I. -- An 11-year old girl has died following a spectacular crash between a Johnston fire truck and a car at the intersection of Hartford and Atwood avenues on Wednesday afternoon...."

I believe the child you are referring to is the 11 year old that did not make it.

 

to the little girl. was a good lookin cl.

 

if she did run the red light, oh well...

if she didnt... then its very tragic...

 

com'on now....11yr old girl ran a red light? tragic either way...

 

Why the hell would they call it a spectacular crash? See the first paragraph. Thats a horrible choice of a word.

 

You guys are in need of reading comprehension. The 11 yr old girl was in passenger side. were the impact happened and the little girl died. sad story.

 

thats sad.

 

The first story that was posted didnt say she had died. They updated the article after we had posted about her....

but anyway, very sad story

 

i would go on a rampage at the ri firedept. i know it wasent all thier fault but, my child dying would make me lose it.

 

You always yield to emergency. They are not at all to blaime. Reguardless what color the light was, it was her fault. It sucks, but it should teach her to pay more attention to her surroundings.

I can hear those emergencys a distance away with my stereo up, so its not like she didnt hear it. I really feel bad for her family having just lost a child, but come on. The fire department is not at all to blaime here.

 

I can tell you aren't a parent since you imply that having your child killed is a way to teach you to pay attention. It's not a lesson, it's a tragedy. Accidents happen, and this is a tragic accident no matter what the circumstances were. And who really cares what kind of car it was?

 

Oh well...? That's all you have to say? The kid died.

Too bad I am a parent. Which means, I drive with A LOT of caution when she is in my car. If i hear sirens, I am looking around to see where they are. Not trying to beat a light. In case you didnt read what I wrote, I said that I did feel bad. But the firetruck is not to blaime here. She should have looked around for the sirens. Its not like they are quiet. She NEGLECTED to yield to an emergency vehicle.

 

may she rest in peace god bless that family

 

^amen

 

anybody would go crazy if their kid was killed in something like that. but really she is at fault in this case. I'm not a parent but everytime my gf's babysister is in the car i make sure i drive safely, as long as we get to where we need to be safe. thats all that matter.

 

i have a little sister (13) when she is in the car i don't f*ck around but accidents happen.no matter who is at fault a little girl died BOTTOM LINE!! i dont care whois at fault. she is the innocent one who caught the raw deal in this whole situation. the fd and the mother and you guys can argure day about who to blame,its not gonna bring her back! as i said before and my thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

 

This was a tragedy, and actually, in my opinion, the link should not have been placed in the first place.

 

sad indeed

 

i placed the link before the girl had died. they updated the link later, if i knew the girl had died at the time i placed the link i wouldnt have. very sad story

 

i was going to post the pic of the acident from the providence jouranl up today but u guys already had it up. Its very sad, and i feel bad for the girl's family, howere the mother did runa red light. I feel worse for the firefighter that was driving, apparently he is not doing very well coping with the tragedy.

 

I have an 8 year old son & I drive so cautious(sp) with him in the car. I cant belive she ran a red light though. I feel for her & her family for their loss, but she is def at fault. I feel horrible for the firefighter driving too. He has to live with that shit forever also..sad story

 

well it was probably green when she went, and then the firetruck made it into a red, because emergency vehichles such as firetrucks, ambulances can switch a green light to all the lights as red lights, but she should have heard the truck coming
