The parents of Sam have three other sons and described Sam as the most wonderful of boys.
Comment
To read articles like this is really sad and devastating but it is reality. As a person that has a driver license I cannot imagine what it would be like to have an accident like this. That the person who drove the car also chickened out and left was even worse than the accident. If you drive a car you have to be careful and alert, you have to show responsibility. You always have to consider not only your own life but also of those others. It is sad that a little boy has to pay the consequences of the mistakes that one irresponsible driver made.

I agree with you. Drivers must be responsible at all times, especially when driving. It is really sad that Sam Riddall died because of reckless driving.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI totally agree with you. It is your own responsibility as a driver and you have to take stand for your actions. I find it so sick when drivers just leave when they have caused an accident. There are so many people that died from accidents because of recklessly driving.
