I see it all the time too, that is incredibley heartbreaking that little innocent lives have been taken. People are in such a hurry and into their own lives, phones, computers, etc (even on the road) that reality almost ceases to exist. Thank you for sharing your story, hopefully it will motivate people to pay attention, slow down, and show consideration to those around them.
It is heart breaking. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read it. We (road workers) appreciate people like you.
