Tragedy in the family

Last night my seventeen year old niece, Cassandra, was traveling with three other teens when their car slid off the road (no details yet as to cause, ice, fog, alcohol or whatever...) Apparently one of the other teens named Ladonna had an argument with her mom who then kicked all the kids out. In the middle of the night no less.

The doctors believe Cassandra may have broken her back as she has no sensation in her legs. They were waiting for several small stainless steel screws to be flown in from Portland before they could perform surgery (can you believe that? They didn't have a couple of tiny chrome screws in stock. What a yoink.) so the exact extent of damage is currently unknown.
