...The mangled body of a dying woman he removed from the crushed SUV in the town of Brookline was his own daughter...

"...Her father was the one who pulled her out of the car without knowing it was her..."

Heart wrenching.

Oh my. One little split second mistake and this horrible horrible thing is the result.

I was told last night by the fire chief that one of the two people in the accident a week ago passed. I do not know which one, but I suspect it was the young man who broke his steering column off.........I went home early from the Christmas party after getting this news. I knew they were picked up by helicopters, and heard both survived.....I will do some more research, but please drive carefully.......life is very short, and cars are simply dangerous and must be respected. Wear your seat belt.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.

How sad. Probably better that he did not recognize his daughter when he was trying to rescue her. I wonder when he realized it was his daughter.

OMG! I would go insane from this. Horrible...
