Unbelievable

Okay, get this. I was in my car this morning and I had on a morning radio talk show. They were talking about a recent accident that took place in Colorado. I won’t bore you with all of the details, but here is the long and short of it.

It was prom night.
A group of teen girls rented a HUMMER Limo together.
After the prom they all got into the Limo to head to a party.
Before 17 year old Molly was all the way into the Limo, the driver started to drive away.
Molly was pulled under the vehicle (keep in mind we are talking about a MASSIVE HUMMER LIMO).
In spite of the girl’s screams, the driver drug her for several hundred yards.
Miraculously, the girl survived.
Her injuries were referred to as gruesome.
She had to have a leg amputated.

Okay, so you might be saying, “Accidents happen, no one is to blame…” and in many cases I may agree with you; but not this time. Take a look at a few more facts:

The driver of the limousine is a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER.
The driver of the limousine has had numerous DUI and DWI convictions.

So, who is to blame? First of all…what in the world is a registered sex offender doing driving around a bunch of teen-age girls? Secondly, how did a man with DUI and DWI convictions get a license to drive a limo? Finally, did the Limo company bother do a background check on this guy?

So, if I were guessing, I would say that someone is getting sued. In addition to a huge law suit, if the driver had in fact been drinking, I hope that he is charged and ends up serving jail time for what he did to this poor girl. I also hope that if it is proven that this man had ill intentions, been drinking, or had been driving recklessly, that the Limo Company is held accountable too, since they obviously didn’t see fit to do a background check.

This is such a sad story.
