That's exactly what I've been thinking all along. I don't know the
area, being that I live in Arkansas, but I agree that she might be
charged with something. I don't think it was a no-fault accident
either, after your post, Joseph. Btw, please E-mail me off list. I
read what you've posted on the Faith talk list. How are you doing? I
had my church praying for you. Thanks, Joshua
