Accident and the Media

[Antwon]

Ok so last night our whole family was having Christmas dinner at my Aunty and Uncles house. One of my other Auntys has met a new man a few months ago, and is now happier then she has been in YEARS, they were handing out wedding invitaions yesterday at the dinner. Immediatly after the dinner they left to go to Melbourne to see her fiances family, and so he could do a little bit of work while they were over there.

I get awoken at 4:30am this morning by my Mother because the Police had just been around to tell us they had hit a tree just the other side of Tintinara, my Aunt has been killed and her fiance was air lifted to the Flinders Hospital with serious Injuries. Now I wasnt close to her, I actually only really saw her at family occasions every now and then, so although im a bit cut up that shes gone, it hasnt really affected me that much (this makes me feel REALLY bad when the rest of the family is miserable :(). The really heart breaking thing though is when my sister, her husband and I had to go break the news to her son, our cousin. Its also my Grandmothers birthday today, excellent present hey.

So ive just been on the AdelaideNow website to find that they have put the story in with another of a guy doing 161km/h in a 60 zone. Now this REALLY ****es me off because the Police said there was evidence that they were actually going under the speed limit, yet this story gives you the impression that they were hooning, and after reading a few of the comments thats exactly the impression people are getting. When will they learn that its not only hoon driving that causes accidents!

Heres a link to the story
