OPEN THREAD: MercyMe bus accident in Fort Wayne

Wow, this is a sad one. Apparently a car turned in front of a tour bus carrying the Christian music group MercyMe this morning. Two adults plus the unborn baby of the very pregnant driver were killed.

Thoughts?

I have heard that shortly before 1:15 a.m. the tour bus was traveling north on Lima Road through a green light at Coliseum as a black Chevy Cavalier traveling south on Lima turned abruptly eastbound onto Coliseum and struck their bus.

I guess the driver of that Chevy was either to tired to react fast enough and noticed half way down the road that he took the wrong turn or went the wrong way and tried to correct it without paying any attention to other drivers.
Maybe he was drunk or high and just didnt get it that he was doing a big and tragic mistake.

They said that on August 10th at 3:00am Kara Klinker ( the18-year-old who drove in front of MercyMe’s bus ) is still unconscious and clinging to life at Parkview Hospital
I think in order to get a answer on what really had happened she may hold the key to what caused the fatal crash between her Chevrolet Cavalier and MercyMe’s tour bus.

Accidents where people get seriously hurt or die are always cruel to their Family members and Friends and loved ones.
To lose not only your child but also your Grandbaby must be the worst thing that could ever happen to somebody.
I do believe in Justice ( just not the system .. ha ) and whatever has caused this accident it should be punished - if in fact id did happen because of alcohol or drugs they should be held responsible for what they did !

As I was 14 my best friend and her cousin died in a car accident right in front of me - a scene I wish on nobody - you will always have these pictures in your head and have problems sitting in a car.
I pray for their Family's and hope that God will do his awesome work.

And not a single word on the local news updates about it since it happened on the weekend. Did not make the national news either......

It was a very sad accident.
They must have thought the middle lane was a clear lane to turn. It is not the first bus accident at that corner. A school bus got it there last year. It sounds like the bus left the ball field and was heading north to get on the interstate.
And at that time of night the car should have not had much traffic to be able to see the bus.
