A crash that stopped traffic Monday afternoon was caused by a teen who attempted suicide, police say.
Police responded to the two-vehicle wreck on Warren Road at Benton Road, just north of Temecula city limits, shortly after 2:30 p.m.
The drivers of the vehicles, a 16-year-old boy and a 52-year-old man, sustained minor to moderate injuries and were transported to Inland Valley Medical Center, according to Sgt. K. McDonald of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
But during the police investigation it was discovered the teen deliberately crashed into the man’s vehicle in an apparent suicide attempt, the sergeant said, noting that sheriff investigators interviewed the 16-year-old at the hospital.
The boy will be sent for a mental health evaluation after receiving treatment for his injuries and charges of assault with a deadly weapon will be sought against him, McDonald said.
The investigation is continuing at this time.
My sister died at the age of 3 along with my grandmother who was 40 at the time. I was one and a half years old and my Mom had taken me with her on a short Xmas shopping trip.(My grandmother didnt do diapers and I still wore them, and I guess that gets a thank God) The house caught fire and when my Mom also pregnant with my brother arrived they had both died of smoke inhalation. About 1961yr. We were in Santa Barbara and my Dad was in Texas in the Army. From the time I was old enough to understand what happened, its always been WHY, why does God take children, why does God take a victim of a drunk driver, why does God take a child who was molested, but not the molester/murderer, why do children or anyone die from terrible painful diseases, Why why why. Through the years and talking to bible thumpers(seriously know the bible forwards and backwards0 going to church every says the same things. IT was their time to join God in heaven, God takes the good ones for heaven, God took them because he knows you are strong enough to get through this now at this time in your life, and so on and so on. I am almost 53, December 7th, and I still ask WHY, and I Still am looking for that answer that I can believe in.
I do believe in a higher being, and I do pray to God, because there is things in my life that I think only the power of pray to someone has helped change something to a positive. But there is still questions, and its not about going to church and hearing songs for 1 hour, which I do enjoy, or hearing a 1/2 hour inspirational sermon which I always do learn something from, even if its another approach to parenting, friends, etc.
My point is, people in this frame of mind are beyond the point of reasoning logically. Everyone suffers in the end.
Anita? Coward is to drown in alcohol! Anita drink!!!! Maybe that's why they seem to have no heart all the time. Because they've been sipping the sauce! With Anita.... Don't worry about trying to make sense of their opinion, you can't fix stupid!
you wrote "they are like A-holes everyone has one" Dude - Dudette, Your observation is astounding and logical up to a point. What would we do without assholes........EXPLODE..
Hey dude , do you dress like Mahatma ??? If not why not . The name Gandhi is on a par with the name Caesar. Two giants in their time. And as for your comment on "me being rude" By rude, do you mean, when nature triggers a release of mostly methane gas, through the anus of a human, and the human reacts, by farting to release that gas. . Is that rude. or "not politically correct". ?? So should I stop farting ? Enquiring minds want to know Dude. ?
VW you also but it takes some help from another usually to get the depressed person directed into a different direction and interest. If they do not get that help its nearly impossible to pull yourself up out of that hole by yourself. What you suggest is a GREAT thing for therapists to make to patients. Its true that alot of us always feel better by helping others as long as we don't forget the main focus and thats the depressed persons self, well being, and loving themselves again.
Most are saying that SUICIDE in general is a SELFISH and Cowardly act. Its giving up, its leaving your friends and family without you.........ie the selfish part. Its only thinking about your pain and not the pain of the others who will live forever with that persons death, and the fact that it was suicide and the guilt that they didnt recognize it, help the person, or perhaps feel they didnt love them enough, all sorts of guilt that probably isnt even true. So if everyone reads the posts a bit more thouroughly you will see that alot of them are meaning the coward, selfish statements different then how you are taking them. If you know someone who has committed suicide you will understand the comments as to what the friends and family left behind feel like. :/
You snert! I am only saying to charge him with the crime for two reasons. 1. it will keep him in treatment longer and if his parents could not afford that or no insurance for a long period now the state will pay for it. 2. He needs to understand WHY when he did go to commit suicide he chose to try and take an innocent young man with him? More notoriety? More in the newspaper? Finally popular? The way it would work in the court is the charges would probably get dropped after he successfully completes a long term live in mental health facility. Where they school, get therapy, medications, its safe and secure, they work for the facility in some way to earn money as they get better. Alot of benefit to this and something his own parents medical insurance probably would not pay for. So if everyone read my posts they would understand what I am saying. Stop reading what you want into a post people and read what it really says word for word, not speed reading.
Well, we have a toilet paper wearer, now Gandhi is wearing a rice package, wonder who will show up in what tomorrow? Gal Cann will be dressed like a turd or a big fat blunt right?
