In our own community we had a well meaning teenager(sober) who drove to a party to pick up a friend. This teen had not been at the party, nor had she been drinking. When she arrived at the party, another friend (intoxicated) came out to her vehicle to say Hello. The driver accidently drove over her friend as he fell and was under the vehicle as she backed out. The driver reported she did not know she hit anything and drove away. The other kids at the party including the sister of the teen hit bought him inside and gave him asrpin and had him rest on the couch for several hours. Later they reported they were scared to call someone. By the time the parents came home, the teen's injuries had progressed and the teen eventually died at the hospital. Of note, is that the driver, who was not at the party, became the scapegoat for this tragedy.John Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520522593397850351noreply@blogger.com
