Tragic accident
My 16 yr old son was involved in a traffic accident, which incurred the death of an elderly man. My son lays no blame, the elderly man ( which we have found out, had been dizzy). My son saw him, as he was weed wacking his lawn on a busy highway. He thought he had passed him, then heard the "thud". Since he was not speeding, he was able to pull over quickly. He saw the deceased man in the yard. The police arrived 1 minute after to find the man, his family and my son. The police took no action while my 16 yr old was called a murderer, told he deserved to die, and threats were made against him.
Since, he has had to quit his job because of one of the family members who worked there. The DA found him innocent of any wrong doing, yet the township decided they were going to file careless driving charges on him. Last week when we went to court, a large part of the family was there, just glaring at him. The case was withdrawn due to lack of evidence. Not even 3 days later, we received another summons for the same offense. In addition, his life was threatened at school. We have taken all precautions, but are still terrified. It is something he will have to live with forever.
Any and all prayers are greatly appreciated.

RE: Tragic accident
Dear Lord, please help this young man. Please protect him and show him the way through this. This is no time for others to judge. Please take your loving hand and sort all of this out. This young man has his whole life ahead of him and already feels very bad for what has happened. Please be with these families in their time of need. In Jesus name, we pray, amen

RE: Tragic accident
I personally want to thank all of you for your prayers. Obviously, it has been an extremely difficult time for all of us, especially our son. I pray that his soul remains strong to the Lord, trusting in Him that it happened to be him because he was the strongest to handle such a tragedy.
I also pray for the family, that they, somehow may find peace, knowing it was an accident that could not have been prevented.
Again, thank you all and  [/align]
