Sadly enough here in Ca. another rig vs. human accident has claimed another life. This time that of a CHP officer who leaves behind two small children and a wife. The below listed link tells most of his story. Apparently the late Officer Thomas Coleman, a seven-year veteran of the CHP department was involved in a high speed chase that ended in his tragically colliding with a big rig. For more on this story click the link below. My deepest and sincerest thoughts and prayers are with his family today and I ask that you each take a moment to consider all the things you yourself are blessed with and how something as simple as this can take that all away. I also ask that you say a prayer for this young man and his family, as this tragedy should have never occured. Thank you, Sparkles
