Did you guys see this on the news? Several fatalities apparently... They said a white Mustang collided head on with a moving truck. They say 3-4 occupants in the car, and they were likely Cave Spring students. They said on channel 7 that the car passed a witness at a high rate of speed on the wrong side of the road.

Sad.
