I was the first vehicle that drove up on the crash.
A Corbin police officer was seconds behind me. I
don’t think she was pinned under the car. I saw a her hanging from her seat belt. I heard a child crying in the car. Fire trucks were there very fast. It was a very bad accident, but it never entered my mind that there would be a fatality. I really don’t know what to say. It is so sad. My prayers goes out to her family and friends.
It is reminder that our time here on earth is so short and we don’t know when God will take us home.
