I know both Jamison and Kailan and i was there just a few cars back when this happened. This is such a tragic story and it makes me cry every time i think about it. My heart goes out to Jamison’s parents and Kailan. There was nothing she could have done to avoid this and now she will have to carry it with her for the rest of her life.
