4 dead in Williamson Co. IL street racing

It says three in the article, but the little 4 year old child passed away today. Keep this in mind the next time anybody tries to coax us into a stoplight grand prix! May the grace of God be with the mother and child...

I usually ignore invitations to race, but if someone is really insistent, then I rev the engine, look over, and when the light turns green, hesitate for a second and pull away very slowly.

This happened about 10 miles away from me. The man that ended up in the lake, was one of the most beloved infant delivery Doctors in the area. They still haven't figured out how it actually went down.

My 911 is the only "fast" car I have ever owned. I have never ever raced on the street. Never will.

Was the child in the Dr's Porsche?
There is somebody in Herrin not named Jenkins or Hays? Who knew. I guess the place has grown in the past 20 years. I used to rent a 172 and fly into Williamson County airport to visit my fiancee. We would have dinner at Mary's in Herrin.
