Re: Car Jumps Curb, Killing Woman, Child on Walk

I assume that you are referring to this statement:

I hardly consider this blaming God, rather a reference to their
belief that God is sovereign and sometimes allows things like this
to happen for reasons we might not understand. I see nothing wrong
with the reporter refering to this statement by the victim's family.

As for the driver, it does seem that there is probably some law that
was broken that caused her to end up on the sidewalk, if nothing else
a law forbidding driving on the sidewalk, though the article doesn't
give much information. It very well could have been mechanical
failure, medical, or otherwise... while one might argue that maybe the
driver would have been better off traveling in some other manner, I'm
hesitant to jump to conclusions about her guilt.
