Jackson Jambalaya

i drove by that this morning as the ambulance was leaving. The car that the lady was driving was demolished on the passenger side.

Implication that age may have contributed to the tragedy.

My mother is now 92 (not living in Mississippi) and she still drives , seems to be competent but I dont live near her so I dont know, I have other brothers who should be closeto her situation but this is a sad story. I am so sorry to hear about this.

I now see that it was the passenger who died and that she was the 92 yr old.

So sad,,,,

The deceased, 92, was not driving the 'passenger vehicle'.

what a shame..to survive almost 100 years in this dangerous world then this happens....

The pickup trucks of Death fly unseen at rush hour. Wow. At 92 *something's* bound to get you, but this is not how most nonagenarians envisage meeting the Grim Reaper!

@ 8:48: The Grim Reaper? REALLY? Try thinking about the family who may be reading this blog before you open your mouth and throw up all over yourself! Hopefully, she was saved and met Jesus Christ, not the Grim Reaper!

Unless she was Jewish, 9:41. "Grim Reaper" is simply a colloquial metaphor for death, dating from about the 15thc. Nothing to do with Christianity. One must, after all, *die* (i.e., meet the G.R.) before reuniting with Our Blessed Savior in eternity, as even you must surely admit. However devout one may be, one always looks at physical death as the enemy, no matter what celestial joys one anticipates once it inevitably occurs. All of us "Rage,rage against the dying of the light," even at 92. Oooh. Touchy, touchy, you are, sir. Sheesh.

Thank you, 9:51 am.

THANK YOU,"O" @ 8:48/1:45 AS WELL! YOUR COMMENTS TEND TO CUT THROUGH THE USUAL B.S. ON THIS SITE AND I ENJOY YOUR SLANT ON THINGS. PLS DONT LET THE SPEWERS LIKE 9:51 RUN YOU OFF. GRIM REAPER IS JUST WHAT YOU SAID, ANOTHER WAY TO SAY SOMEONE DIED. MY 89 YR OLD GRANDMOTHER WOULD HAVE LOVED YOUR COMMENT. SHE HAD A LONG HORRIBLE FIGHT WITH CANCER AND WOULD HAVE WELCOMED BEING HIT BY A CAR INSTEAD OF ALL THE MEDICAL HELL SHE ENDURED FOR 5 YRS BEFORE THE GRIM REAPER FINALLY CAME.

Is a vehicle deemed to be a passenger vehicle by virtue of it containing a passenger? Was this a commercial vehicle uses to transport people back and forth from the nursing home to a doctor's office? I drive through that intersection several times a week and it's difficult to gauge the speed of vehicles coming from the east down the hill created by the new bridge. Isn't this the second fatality at that intersection in about as many years?

9:51, 1:47 - save it for your church. Learn the language here - "Grim Reaper" is what we call an "SAT word" in this house. 1:45 gets it. Sheesh.

Why, thank you, 2:32 and 2:44. I certainly meant no disrespect to the deceased. Quite unfortunate. I pray that her final hours were painless and peaceful.

Whew....Ophelia is vindicated.
