RIP Kathy Berman

I'm not easily offended.
I went to Deadspin and read the comments.
My goodness gracious.

 

I went over there and haven't found anything that made me LOL.

But I did learn that she must had a huge speed difference when she hit the other vehicle, because the 87 yr old and his car was propelled into a utility pole, caromed off of that and wound up back in the roadway flipped over. That was no small rear ending. That's plowing in to someone.

This might be another distracted driver / maybe texting case.

 

What makes this even worse is that today is Chris Berman's birthday. Condolences to all involved in this tragedy.

 

JFC...

 

How?

 

Yeah, that was my thought. At her age a medical issue seems likely, because that's a hell of a rear-end impact.

Terribly sad all around.

 

I remember every year without even trying the days my parents died. Maybe it get easier over time, but I sure as shit wouldn't want either to have to coincided closely with my birthday. I feel for people who lose loved ones around big tent days like birthdays or holidays.

 

What CD said. Having to deal with this is bad enough, but when you come upon a day where you're usually supposed to celebrate with loved ones or do something fun, and you have to remember it also as the anniversary of a loved one's death, it would make it a whole lot harder for me.

 

Hartford Courant has a few more details. So sad,

Among lots of other things, let this be a lesson that you don't have to jam tweets into a story just because.

 

Stay classy, Poin.
