Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th! It's raining here, so not too many outdoor festivities taking place in this area. We are planning to go to Bloomington, then to our friend Gerard's for margaritas & a cookout (or maybe a cook-in??)
Last night, we went to Roanoke to our friends, Jeremy's & Sonya's, for a cookout. We saw lots of people we hadn't seen for awhile and had a great time. We all went to the Roanoke car show after dinner, then watched Elvis perform, then watched a very colorful and nice fireworks display.
After the fireworks display ended, an older lady in an old car that had been parked a few spaces away from where we were sitting, pulled out to leave. She must have gotten her foot stuck between the gas and the accelerator as the car "stalled up", then sped straight into the crowd right across the street from us. She hit several people, one of them was stuck under her car and she was still on the gas. Someone shut her key off and several of the men from our group ran over and helped to lift the car up while others pulled the man out. Several other people were hurt as well. We just found out the man passed away on the LifeFlight helicopter to the hospital. It seems pretty surreal, like something you watch on tv, but never expect to happen "for real". Our thoughts and prayers are with the injured, their families and the others who saw it happen.
Stay safe everyone!
