Prayers for you & yours. Also, thank you for the reminder to wear your belts. If I interpret that correctly, your cousin did not wear them and that takes a good person to remind others. Peace.

Unfortunately nobody in the car was wearing there seat belt. A seat belt would probably have saved her life as she was partially thrown from the vehicle and that is what caused the head trauma.

SF, My thoughts go out to you and your family. The worst part of this is the constant voice in your head that says "if only she had buckled up".In the last 3 years I have buried a best friend age 23 and a cousin age 26. both were ejected, both probably would have made it if they were wearing their seat belts. WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS!!!
