Victim of deadly SUV crash re-injured when SUV plows through wall of her bedroom December 2 - Shannon Broome, 15, of Jacksonville, Florida, was home in bed recovering from a deadly SUV accident when an SUV plowed through the wall of her bedroom just after midnight Tuesday morning and pinned her against a wall, re-breaking the same leg that was shattered in a June accident that killed four of her friends. Broome [pictured] also suffered a broken pelvis, broken wrist and multiple broken ribs in Tuesday’s accident, according to her family’s attorney, Eric Block. The driver of the SUV, 19-year-old Jacksonville resident Steven Nicholas Bryant, was allegedly looking at his cell phone when he veered off the road and plowed through a chain-link fence before hitting the house, according to the Jacksonville Sherriff’s Office report. Bryant has been cited for careless driving. Broome was previously injured in a June wreck in which the SUV in which she was riding blew a tire and rolled over on Interstate 295, killing four teenagers and injuring four others, including Broome, who was ejected from the vehicle. A 15-year-old was at the wheel—illegally—in the June accident

Wow.

Eight teenagers in an SUV when the tire blew? Hmmmm.....

Yet more proof that SUVs are the evil spawn love children of satan and texas.

my wife" so is she old enough to drive yet?"

my exact comment was "oh wow"

Next was, I would hate to see her insurance rates, 2 accidents, don't even have her license yet.......not a good start.

well, not like she was driving..

Personally, I would like to be there when the 19yo explains to his insurance company how he hit a house

It just came out of nowhere! There was nothing I could do to avoid it, I swear!

Kinda like the guy driving through a neighborhood in his wrx and the turbo just spooled up without any warning and before he knew it he was in someones back yard and had knocked the wall of their garage down, then posted that it was unfair his parents took the car away? lol

maybe someone told him he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn...

I like the fact that it's not drivers losing control of the cars, it's SUVs blowing tires and rolling, and SUVs plowing through walls. Evil cars!

I'll bet Shannon has a bit of trouble falling asleep for the next few weeks.

The street I used to live on was about 3 miles long, that dead ended into the front yard of my friends house. Apparently the previous owner of the house, after having a similar incident with their newborn had a wall built across the front yard. Telephone poles sunk 4 foot into the ground and then cut off at about 3 foot tall, spaced every 2 feet or so, steel plate woven between the poles, surrounded by a brick border, then filled with concrete (this is his explaination of the wall) and the top covered in brick, all in all looked like a 4 and a half foot tall, 3 foot thick brick wall. (looks can be decieving) I personally watched an 80's Ford LTD BoUnCe off the wall, as in it's momentum was reversed and the car was in the air moving backwards, about a foot. A brick was chipped on the wall. His little brother had a collection of broken car parts on the walls of his room from the cars that had bounced off it.
