This is beyond sad. A student walking to a difficult job at midnight. I'm so sorry that she lost her life at such a young age. My heart goes out to her friends and loved ones. If they are reading here please know that you are in my prayers. I know that doesn't mean much right now, but you are.

This is so sad. I cannot imagine how anyone could leave the scene knowing they had struck another human being with their vehicle, but, sadly, it happens all the time in this crazy world we live in. My prayers are for the family of this young woman.
