Family members told authorities that the woman, Corina Reeves, 32, was terminally ill. The crash occurred Thursday on a highway 20 miles north of Fresno. Highway Patrol Officer Rob Krider said the woman picked up her children from school and "drove directly up into the hills. Apparently, she made a couple of U-turns and looked around for a good area to jump her car off a cliff." "One of the children stated that her mother told her to take off her seatbelt as they drove over the cliff intentionally," Krider said. Her children, a 6-year-old boy and two girls, ages 9 and 11, remained hospitalized Friday. This is sick.
I feel sorry for the mentally ill. This is what I read at first too. Apparently, though, she was <I>terminally ill</I>, rather than mentally ill (although she was probably that too). But this appears to have been an "I'm gonna die soon, so I'm taking my kids with me" thing.
Any body that does something like this is mentally ill in my opinion. There is no other way to do something that crazy.
I hope that she is getting pineapples shoved up her a$$ right now. What a stupid selfish piece of trash.
