becoming victims of a similar situation. Some may become angry at the mother for putting the life of her own child, as well as the life of an unsuspecting driver, in danger. Quick glimpses of all of the victims and bystanders’ faces are shown during the crash. Perhaps the most heartbreaking is the young daughter’s face, as she is unaware of what is about to happen.
