My husband and I were on US 23 right behind the small car that crossed the median. They passed us at a pretty high rate of speed and then it happened. They were in the left lane, we in the middle. Unfortunately, there was a lot of traffic and we couldn't pull over to respond. I looked back and saw many cars had stopped on the southbound side so we continued on to Holland. I was very, very upset to say the least. I pray that the parents and families of the victims will turn to God for help in dealing with this tragedy.
