Three teenagers -- Alani Aguerre, 14, Miles Polger, Ian Brininstool -- sustained severe injuries in a San Diego car accident, which officials, say was caused by a drunk driver with several past DUI convictions. According to a news report in The San Diego Union Tribune, the teens were injured the night of August 15, 2010 while walking on the sidewalk along La Jolla Boulevard, close to Midway Street. A Chrysler New York driven by 66-year-old Ronald Troyer jumped the sidewalk colliding with the three teens, and then, slammed into The Cass Street Cafe & Bakery. Two people inside the bakery - Jeffrey and Sharon Macelli were also injured. Thankfully, their injuries are not life-threatening.
My heart goes out to the three teens, especially Alani Aguerre, who has been the most severely injured and is preparing to go into surgery. Apparently, she was carried about 20 yards on the car's hood, thrown through a glass window and then pinned underneath the car. Heartbreaking! I wish Alani, Miles Polger, Ian Brininstool and the Macellis the very best for a speedy and complete recovery. All these victims and their families will be in my thoughts and prayers.
