I'm really upset now, because it's been spread all over the newspaper and the television nationwide in the UK, and it's really affecting me... I first heard about it on sunday when my friend came online with his MSN name as 'RIP Mum, love you and always will'. I found this a little odd, so I asked him what happened and he replied that his mum had died in a car crash. I left it at that, not wanting to make him cry.
Then, I see it on the news. The local news, obviously, but I finally found about the whole story. Today, I see it the Daily Mail, with his family picture there. At this, I was nearly crying for him because I'd hate to be in his position.
My friend's mother died in a car crash, true. What happened exactly was that she was at a set of traffic lights, and the lights went green, and so she went forward, as most people do. At the same time, a police car carrying a suspect jumped a red light. The police land rover went straight into the driver's side of their ford escort, killing her instantly, and seriously injuring her other son who was in the passenger seat. The passengers in the police car, however, weren't injured.
What makes it worse, is that his father was travelling in the car behind and saw the whole thing.
My friend's name is Justin Stagg, and this journal post is in memory of his mother, and to offer condolences to him and his family.
