A wreck on an Alabama interstate has left at least 10 people dead, including nine children.
Such a tragedy. A pile-up involving at least 15 vehicles happened on Saturday.
Most of central Alabama experienced heavy rains and high winds at the time as a result of Tropical Depression Claudette. Butler County Coroner Wayne Garlock said the vehicles likely hydroplaned on the wet road.
A father and his 9-month old daughter in one vehicle were killed. Eight other minors riding in a Tallapoosa County Girls Ranch vehicle also died in the wreck. They were between ages 4 to 17.
My thoughts go out to all of these families. So sad, especially when children are involved.

How terrible! People just don’t take weather advisories seriously, even when it’s something “not as serious as a tornado” like heavy rain.

Nine children, this is so sad. Those poor parents--you're right it always seems that a terrible situation worsens even more when children are involved.
