The only news I have is about the Family Peace Project Waffle Breakfast. It was held last Saturday. I was there, eating waffles and trying to help out. The waffles were great, and it was the most successful one yet.

I should have been promoting it before hand, but I was all wrapped up in my own rescue attempts here, and neglected it. I did try to make up by buying a whole lot of tickets, but I don’t think that is quite the same.

The student were taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons, Perry said.

Few weeks prior to this incident a similar incident had occurred on the same road coming under the hit and run accidents case in which due to a speeding car, two cars and one motorcycle got into a collision. The motorcycle accident attorney investigation at that time proved that, the speeding car’s driver was at fault, but the question people raise now is that why are accident frequently occurring on the same freeway?
