Two young women were driving home from work together along a rural highway. It was rainy, and head of them, a massive tractor-trailer was approach from the opposite direction. But that tractor-trailer was traveling near its maximum speed despite the bad weather, and when it suddenly hydroplaned, it crossed into oncoming traffic without warning.
The resulting collision obliterated the young women’s SUV, killing them both instantly. The devoted husbands and school-age children they both left behind now share in this terrible tragedy together and must personally grapple with their own unimaginable loss.
