    I know this family and it is just heartbreaking this happened and just before Christmas. This was a sweet little girl, she was my neice’s step sister. They had been from Alabama originally they were living in Molino in a new house they had built it’s such a tragedy. May God lift them up at this painful time

    God Bless the family of the little girl. That is a dangerous driving area. I have a friend who lives on Tunnel and I ask her to meet me for lunch because that intersection is a nightmare so I’d rather not go to her house.

    So sad. Quintette needs a left turn lane there because people slow down and many times stop really fast to turn left onto Tunnel Rd.
