Strangely, I could give two ****s about how ruined the driver's life is.

not going to defend the girl or her actions, but I don't think it's unreasonable to feel a little sympathy for her. She will have to live with this mistake for the rest of her life. She will have to live with the knowledge and regret that she was behind the deaths of all these people, and the cause of so much pain for others due to her irresponsible actions. I'm sure most people in here have made terrible mistakes, and been lucky enough to not end up in the kind of situation she did. Looked the girl up on facebook, and there's already a number of people sharing her info/pictures blasting her. In this case, I'm keeping all involved in my thoughts and prayers.

I will add that I would not feel this way had she gone out with the intent to hurt/kill people. completely different scenario.

I can't help but wonder if the girl driving passed out behind the wheel, just because of how much carnage and how she had to go through barriers and everything

Quarter of the victims were juveniles a 2 year old died and a 1 year old injured. Terrible day for the OSU community.

Agreed, feel bad for all involved. I feel bad that she made this decision and now has to wake up to what she did. Her life is forever changed with this mistake.

Outside of campus, Stillwater is full of ranchers, farmers, and gas and oil workers. Just really decent people. My daughter spent a good bit of her childhood barrel racing and working cattle with me. It was a great fit for her.

Sorry but I hope a lot of her regret is reflected with a view of the world from behind bars. Several years to reflect upon her utterly stupid & deadly decision. We currently have a guy here in NC, bar hopped, drove, killed several people. Now showing remorse and looking to get out of it.

And the plot thickens...

This fool was "sent home early"/fired(?) from her part-time job at Freddy's Steakhouse just 30 minutes before the crash. Why was she sent home early or fired? Fellow employees did an anonymous interview with media saying she was "impaired" at work. So quite possibly the manager may very well have sent this woman home because she was impaired and they let her drive off in her car. The owner of the franchise however has gone on record as saying, “She was always on time. She is a pleasant person. I have nothing to say about her that isn't good. She has been an excellent employee. She didn't appear to be under the influence.” REALLY?! Why are you sending her home early then?!

LIABILITY!

The plot will get thicker and thicker --- I think it was maybe drugs like alot of xanax or something since the cops never mentioned if alcohol was on her breath at the scene and distraught about what ? BF break up ? , money problems ?

In one article, a fellow employee said that she had worked until "at least, 12:00am" the night before. In another article her dad said that she had gone to homecoming festivities with family but was home by 10:00 pm.

Her lawyer is already pulling the "she's crazy" card.

"I have deep concerns about her competency at this point," Coleman added. "I'm not a psychologist or psychiatrist, but I can tell you she's suffering from mental illness."

In this article the boyfriend suggests she is a diabetic:

Absolutely no idea if she is diabetic or was suffering from hypoglycemia, of course, but diabetics, especially those with Type 1 diabetes, are often believed to be drunk or under the influence when their blood sugar plummets. They can drive with no idea of where they are or where they're going, and it often takes a wreck to stop them.

eta: in other words, they pass out because their brains are starved of glucose.

What a pathetic article.

The boyfriend says she hadn't slept in three days:
"Her boyfriend, Jesse Gaylord, told him that she suffers from diabetes, but is not being treated or medicated for the condition, Coleman said. She also reportedly suffers from insomnia and had not slept for three days before the crash."

Then he proceeds to say "he got her up Saturday morning".
"She's a really nice girl. Hasn't shown anything, I mean... I got her up this morning and gave her a hug and kiss and she made it to work."

All in the same article. SMDH

WTF?!
