(no subject)
I cant belive how fast time flys.
How much things can change when you are trying to pretend
nothing has ever changed. and nothing will.
That my friends is a picture of one of the best people i have
ever known.
My aunt pam.
Well, her jeep after a semi ran a red light and
hit her.
She died with in hours
and so did my family.
I never realised how much things have really changed since she has
died.
My bad habits
My choices
Everything.
My mom always said i reminded her of my aunt.
But this was
never really until she died
My hands resimpled hers
My favorite
colors
My choice of dress for my christmas dance
But it all went down hill
from there.
Maybe even before
But that my friends
Is where i
broke.

A Clinton woman died Sunday afternoon
after a truck driver ran a red light on Indiana 63 that he said he couldn't see
because of sun glare.
Pamela Dust(my aunt), 51, was
eastbound on Indiana 163, crossing Indiana 63 in a 2002 Jeep Liberty, when a
southbound semitrailer driven by Stanley Kmit of Leopolis, Wisc., crashed into
her vehicle, Deputy Mike Holtkamp of the Vermillion County Sheriff's Department
said. Witnesses said Kmit's light was red.
"He claims the sun was in his eyes. He thought he remembered
seeing a green light," Holtkamp said.
Dust's car was trapped beneath
the semi and she had to be extracted with the help of the Clinton Township Fire
Department, Indiana State Police and Clinton police, Holtkamp said. Dust was
taken to West Central Community Hospital in Clinton with massive internal
injuries and died shortly thereafter.
The accident occurred at 2:30 p.m. and traffic was stopped or
reduced to one lane in each direction until 9:30 p.m., Holtkamp
said.
Kmit was cited for disregarding a traffic signal and also received
motor carrier division citations for improper logbook procedures and violating a
restriction of his commercial driver's license that prohibits him from driving a
semi outside of Wisconsin. Criminal charges also may be filed once officers
complete a full investigation, Holtkamp said.
Kmit was treated
for minor injuries and released Sunday from the same hospital.
An accident reconstructionist is still trying to determine
Kmit's speed at the time of the crash, Holtkamp said. Blood tests did not find
alcohol or drugs in Kmit's system; the improper keeping of his driving log means
officers are unsure if fatigue was a factor, Holtkamp said.
