Joggers hit, driver ran

This morning two women were run down while jogging near the beach in south Orange county. They were jogging well off the road, but a car swerved over and hit them.
The driver of the car left the scene and the car was abandoned about 1 mile away.

One of the women hit was Carol Daniel, my wife's best friend since high school.
She is a mother of three young children who are friends with my kids.
She is still in surgery with fractured vertibrae in her neck, several compound fractures, and other injuries. Her condition is reported as critical and not yet stabilized. Carol's friend who was jogging with her is in critical condition also.
If you believe in God please say a prayer for Carol, her friend, and her family.
Thanks.

Prayer said. Find the ba$tards and shoot them. Have no mercy for people like that... nor do they deserve it.

Course in the end God will deal with them.

Keep us updated. Will keep holding the thought for everyone involved.

Wow sammy, I"m so sorry. How tragic.

My thoughts and prayers for a full recovery are with Carol and Stacy and their families.

Sammy and your wife: keep your chin up and keep the faith.

Very sorry to read this, sounds like they are lucky to be alive. This AM's LA Times said that both were in serious condition, that would be an upgrade for your friend as well, no?

Hope and pray for the best.

Glad to hear she/they are doing better. What a terrible thing.

Did they catch the guy?

Looks like things are slowly swinging towards the positive side, take each day slowly and keep positve thoughts. And I hope the person/persons that did this will be caught and held accountable. Good luck.
