impyArticle 1. That's the one most people have been linking to on FB though it's probably the shortest. The paper gives a little more detail. And the channel with the video.
So as far as I can tell, no one's officially released her name but her sister confirmed it on FB. Technically she didn't confirm that this is the accident but she hasn't said it wasn't and shortly after her post, a zillion other posts with the first article were linked.
And yeah, I watched one of the videos I probably shouldn't have. But it was the one from this morning and didn't really show much beyond a zillion flashing lights and some dude pitching a goddamned fit about not being able to use the road I guess? And they really did have the main road on the island closed for nearly 8 hours.
I keep trying to wrap my head around this but I can't. I just... can't. I'm not sure why because it's not like we were best friends forever as that would be understandable. But this isn't a case of "whoo, boy, someone else's death has me contemplating my own mortality so this is really all about me, me, me" either. Each time it hits me, it's because I think of something that's definitely about her.
I'm going to go resume She-Ra and we'll discuss this later. As it is, time is moving very strangely. I went from being full on Monday morning happy to legitimately wondering if I'd somehow missed Monday and wound up in Tuesday. I guess that's sort of explained by rarely thinking too much about work on my days off. Still, weird.
I feel so bad for her family.
