This horrific accident is heart crushing. My deepest sympathies and prayers go out to the family that lost their loved one healing for Clarenda And strength for her family
We are all just spectating and guessing the cause and that alone is setting the wrong tone. Please stop guessing out loud and let the professionals do their job.

Did you forget anyone in your list of undesirables? Maybe Christians. Muslims,. Seems to me your hate list has gone over to person’s driving abilities. There’s no law stating that because you don’t like them, they’re unable to drive. Some teens drive better than you can for certain. Especially when you said X- Convict. Seems to me if someone does their time, they paid their price. But it still doesn’t change the fact that they passed the driving test and in CA we abide by the law and not someone emotionally upset because an X-Convict or a person that was deemed MI due to a depression because their spouse had died. But they give someone like you, who’s obviously paranoid, a DL. Imagine that. I have a DL and a good driver record and am a Senior Citizen. I’ll keep my license for as long as I choose to.

This city is full of teen, or careless inexperienced or drugged, dunk, low IQ or mentally Ill or ex convict drivers, it is a very bad area, mentally challenged people , drug addicts, troubled people should not be allowed to drive an automobile, cars are literally like a weapon to them, and a lot of crimes are being committed here with the wrong people behind the wheel here. People cut you off for no reason, cross red lights, go 100 mph and cause fatal accidents. Maybe more security is needed on the streets, more police on watch hidden in these deserted streets, this epidemic of reckless drivers in the AV needs prevention!

This is Wendy again. I had sent this previous post in response to Cande and the post she made. Thank you. Did she miss anyone in her hate list?

I lived in the AV area for 5 years. Nothing has changed. Careless drivers and high speed on 14, 138, and local streets.
