Did you hear?

He was just texting her

He took his eyes off

Just for a second

A second couldn’t matter

It’s just a moment

Did you hear?

She was so wasted

She tried to go home

Just a block away

A block couldn’t matter

It’s so close

Did you hear?

She was speeding

Everyone does it

10, 20, 30 miles over

A little speed couldn’t matter

Just a little

Did you hear?

They cut him off

He got angry

He just wanted to make them see

A little bump couldn’t matter

Just a little

Intexticated

Intoxicated

Speedy demon

Aggressive

4 Accidents

14 dead
