Accidents Do Happen December 18
Living in Mexico you often see country people traveling standing up in the back of large trucks. I often wonder how often accidents happen and what happens to the people. Sometimes they die. I guess in my head I already knew that it had to be true, but my heart didn’t want to believe it.
Today on the news we saw that over 100 people, some of them children, many of them parents were killed when a truck that was transporting them from their town in Puebla to Veracruz overturned. The driver took a curve too fast.
Today hundreds of caskets were unloaded from a semi and carried through town and up a hill to the cemetary. There was a line of caskets as far down the hill as the news camera could capture with thousands of people accompanying them. What an increadible blow to that community.
May God bless them and care for them all. All the children who have lost their parents, the mothers and fathers who have lost their children and are now raising their grandchildren, the sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles. Oh my how poverty is expensive.
