  4. My husband and I was the first people on the scene right after that car was smashed we helped three women get out of the car the other two cousins were unconscious. I prayed for them in church today. I cannot believe that those girls are in critical condition. if you had seen the car you would’ve never believed that they made it out alive. Let’s continue to pray together for a good recovery and strength for their families to get through it

  5. If you want to drink. Do it at home. STAY OFF THE ROADS! If you need to drive, call a taxi; it’s a lot cheaper than a DWI and the five years of insurance, surcharges, etc., and jail time that goes with it. G-D bless these girls and their families. So sorry to hear this.

  6. There is no reason to thank me. I’m just human and a mother. Just to let the family know, we were the first people there, but many people jumped out of there cars to help us try to get the girls out! Will someone please try to keep me (us) up to date on their daily condition! God has a funny way of bringing people together. I don’t know these young ladies but in a unpredictable moment I feel this motherly connection with the need to know how they are doing?

  7. I would like to publicly thank Donna and her husband who were the first to respond to the scene as Good Samaritans. As a passenger in the vehicle, I am extremely grateful for their help and support as they helped us get out the vehicle and stayed with us until help arrived, offering constant support and sympathy. Thank you!

  8. Donna, you’re the truest definition of a mentch!! (can’t really translate that into English). Sadly, not many people stop at accident scenes these days.

    May the Lord safeguard you and your families and may you be blessed with everlasting good health.

    With admiration,

    An EMT from Brooklyn
