Djgb13 2,338 Posted August 7, 2018 Found out that my BILs niece got killed in a car wreck this morning. 24 years old. Beautiful girl. She was part of the extended family. Was there with us every thanksgiving and Christmas. Went swimming tons with her when I was younger. She was apparently named after my BILs brother who died in a car wreck. And today is exactly 6 months from when doctors gave my BIL 6 months to live. So instead of him dying it was her. Hes devastated right now. She was on her way home from working at the beach and apparently fell asleep at the wheel, ran off the road, and crashed into a tree. Parents got the call at 4 am to let them know she died. If yall have kids make sure they understand to pull over if they start getting sleepy while driving. Cause its too dam dangerous to keep going Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Guy 1,400 Posted August 7, 2018 I've actually been soooooo sleepy that as I'm speeding down a freeway in the middle of the night after driving for 10 hours, I could hear myself saying... "It'll be OK, just curl up for a couple minutes" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"It'll be OK, just curl up for a couple minutes" I once zoned out while driving and snapped out a state later. A STATE. Driving from michigan to ga on 75 i missed Tennessee. Sounds absurd. I have made that trip probably 200 times between both ways. Never had it happen before or again 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted August 8, 2018 I once zoned out while driving and snapped out a state later. A STATE. Driving from michigan to ga on 75 i missed Tennessee. Sounds absurd. I have made that trip probably 200 times between both ways. Never had it happen before or again Ive driven the 200 mile trip from Memphis to Nashville and Vice versa at least 1000 times I bet. Once, I was driving from Florida to Memphis. All of a sudden, there I was, in Memphis. Have no recollection whatsoever of the 3.5 hours from Nashville. Guess I just went on autopilot. I used to take yellow jackets for that drive. Not a good idea, but focking worked (this was in the ephedra era). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted August 8, 2018 Heading to the funeral home later today. Guess the wreck happened at 1:45ish. God I cant imagine having to do that as a parent. With my grandpa, at least we knew he would be dying so we already had plans made. 24 year old girl dying suddenly is horrible and the parents have to go through buying a casket, resting place, tomb stone, etc. http://m.wmbfnews.com/story/38831930/one-killed-in-single-vehicle-crash-on-secondary-31-in-horry-county Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
