Brush with Death

In pagsuwayan Hindi, Bacacay, Albay PHILIPPINES, a careful tricycle driver was traversing the route going to the town proper of Bacacay when it was suddenly hit by a vehicle driven by a female drunk driver. Without that tricycle, the lady drunk driver could have gone straight down the creek. If her vehicle did not collide with the tricycle, she could have been the one who was tended in the hospital for gashes, x-ray appointments, bruises, punctures and anti-tetanus injections instead of the seven innocent people riding that fateful tricycle who were all simply looking forward to coming home to their families... all the lady drunk driver said was "sorry". Then I thought, will that "sorry" make up for the mothers and fathers that could have been killed in that fateful incident? Could that simple "sorry" make up for the lost leg or legs that could have been incurred by the passengers hit by the bumper of the drunk lady driver's vehicle? Could "sorry" suffice? I DON'T THINK SO. NOTHING EXCUSES ANYONE TO IDIOCY! I SHOULD KNOW, MY SON COULD HAVE LOST A MOTHER TODAY.
