  1. My heart. Sending so many prayers to each family.

  2. Despite the economic downturn,I'm so happy☺️. I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days.

  3. Very unfortunate 🤦🏾‍♂️😢

  4. I have no idea why people would live in Indiana… it's weird… why ? Why would you live in Indiana ? 🔥🤯🔥

  5. Fell asleep at wheel or messing around. Cara don't just drive into trees. Let's stop with prayers and realize humans are faulty. Death happens. More so when you make mistakes

  6. How awful. The state of the world is so messed up. I cannot imagine what I would be like to be on the cusp of adulthood, right now.💐💐💐

  7. 🇺🇸🇯🇵🇬🇧🇩🇪🇫🇷🇦🇺🇮🇹🇵🇹AttacKs China ccP🇨🇳,shutdown Need your Help .open fire..

  8. What are so many cars in wrecks catching fire lately?! RIP

  9. PRAYING FOR ALL FAMILIES AND FRIENDS HEAVENLY FATHER GRANT THEM STRENGTH

  10. Life ain't no joke folks, it's a gift to get old .

  11. Nothing new, but always sad. Me and my friends in our 60s always talk about what a miracle it is that we survived high school and junior college years. Although a fair number did not.

  12. Tell us what happened. We don't want to hear about thoughts and prayers.

  13. Praying for comfort, God will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more, there will no longer be any mourning, crying, or pain Revelation 21:4 Please think about it, believe in God's son Jesus/repent, he died for you. Believe before the rapture. Love

  14. When you’re young, you’re stupid! Condolences to all involved and may this be a lesson for every youngster that life is fleeting!

  15. Dam people and their cellphone driving are a mess…

  16. This is bizarre… that tree was not even remotely close to the road they looked like they were driving down… i mean… they had to completely ignore the road and drive straight through the opposite lane and out far past. Additionally, the passenger on the driver's side would have normally have noticed the car going off the road and could have normally attempted to turn the steering wheel. I wonder wat kind of car and yr that car was ? These new cars with all the computer controlled systems with GPS connections imo could easily b hijacked and foul play committed against anyone.

  17. Sorry if I’m not that sympathetic, but I’m guessing that they were all drunk.

  18. So sorry for the family and loved ones.

  19. Probably drugs and or alcohol

  20. It’s all just to common anymore. Move on to the next. At least they hit a tree and not an innocent family. Driving a bullet down the highway.

  21. Buncha kids in a car at 1:30 in the morning. Surprised……no.

  22. It's crazy what college kids think acting like an adult is.

  23. As in Indiana university graduate myself I’m heartbroken to hear this about my fellow Indiana university students!

  24. Now dems will ban driving cars

  25. Were drugs/alcohol involved?

  26. RIP for the three that died and I hope the other persons survive. So tragic.

  27. THERE IS TOO MANY PEOPLE DYING IN CAR CRASHES….WE NEED CAR BAN RIGHT AWAY…..WE CANNOT STAND FOR IT…..NOT ONE MORE PERSON TO BE A VICTIM OF A CAR….

  28. So sad and such a waste of youth and talent. I hope those injured will be okay.

  29. Military style cars, causing car violence, ban all cars. Boohoo your lil footballers died. That's the only reason this was reported.

  30. Better for the driver to be dead, he doesn't have to live with killing his friends and spending time in prison.

  31. That’s so sad. They had their whole lives ahead of them.
