I saw a tragic story on the news today about a Bridgeport mother of five injured in a hit and run accident yesterday morning near Saginaw. According to witnesses, Jessica Johnston was driving west on East Remington, with her twins and three other children, when a 2002 Rendezvous allegedly struck the rear passenger side of her vehicle. The crash broke Johnston’s back , collapsed her lung, broke her collarbone and left her paralyzed. Witnesses state they saw the driver of the vehicle flee on foot from the scene of the accident. Police are still investigating the incident.

I  am very sorry to hear about this tragic auto accident and wish Jessica Johnston the fullest and speediest recovery possible.
