Summary Of Columbus High School Softball Player Killed In Crash

The article " Columbus High School Softball Player Killed in Crash," by Sarah Fowler, is an article that talks about a young girl that passes away in a one-man car accident. This article gave information saying that the crash occurred on August 27th, around 3:45am. The article states the vehicle collided with a guardrail. 16-year old Taylor Lee Harris, the young girl that died, was not the only one in the car when the accident happened. Another young girl by the name of Keayra Hughes, was riding along with Taylor, but was not announced dead. Keayra had to go into the hospital, immediately, and was put into Intensive Therapy Unit (ICU). The sources that was used for this is article, were very much valid. The author's tone was serious, which

Not leaving as in literally leaving out of the door, but leaving the face of earth. Taylor is actually someone I had the honor to meet once. The first and last impression I got from her was sweet, loving, fun, and beautiful. Just as well as it was her in that terrible, sad accident; that could have been my best friend, my sister, one of my classmates.

I am very sorry for what happened to this young girl, and I pray that her family and friends will all make it through this rough
