WESTFIELD, Ind. (WISH) - Police have identified a truck driver who died at the scene of a multi-vehicle crash in the southbound lane of U.S. 31 at the intersection of State Road 38 Tuesday afternoon.
Just after 2 p.m. emergency crews were called to the scene of the crash, which involved a car and three semis.
According to the Hamilton County Sheriff?s Department a silver sports car was stopped at the light where State Road 38 crosses US 31. Behind the car, two semis were either stopped or inching forward to stop.
Deputies said the driver of the third semi smashed into the back end of one truck creating a chain reaction. Police have identified the driver of the third semi as 51-year-old Richard Crawford. Crawford died at the scene as a result of his injuries.
?We did have a couple of witnesses that did confirm for us further north on US 31 they did see that tractor trailor truck weaving in and out of its lane,? said Vicky Dunbar, Hamilton County Sheriff's Department.
The county coroner will determine if drugs or alcohol were involved.
Emergency crews responded from several local departments. Because of the impact of the crash, the semis became wedged together. That slowed down the cleanup process. A Hazmat crew was brought in to deal with minor oil and gasoline spills.
i wanted to share this because not many people realize how much danger is involved with truck drivers. The company i work for had a truck involved in that accident and with our luck he was the first truck in that chain reaction. he wasn't injured. He is shaken by it because what this story didn't say was that 2 men were killed.the 2nd and 3rd truck drivers died yesterday.

Never in my life would I have thought this would Happen!
Okay as you all know My happy little ass is Pregnant! As well as my Mother passing in August.
Personally I feel my Mother Blessed My pregnancy because she knew how much she wanted to be pregnant and I know how much she wanted me to give her a Grandbaby!
Growing up I never really got along with my Grandma. I would put on my fake smile and get threw the visits(which where daily)just to please everyone. Well my Grandmother is a very negative person. I have never seen her positive about anything and sense my Mothers passing she had slowly started to change. She still make her same comments here and there but after loosing her daughter you can feel in her voice how much she is dying inside.
Well back in June I got pregnant and when I told her she wasn't thrilled. I can't blame her because she wanted me to be married and all that but we just can't afford the marriage right now. Well I ended up having a miscarriage and I decided to focus on my Mother.
After she passes on August 7th I found out a week later that I was pregnant again. So I called and told everyone. My Grandma still wasn't pleased but she kept it to herself. After a few weeks I noticed she started getting used to the idea and now she is happy about it.
Like I said we never got along and now we are passing e-mails back and forth. I have plans for when after the baby is born and we are able to travel I am going out to California to see my family and so everyone can see the baby. My Grandma is planning on throwing me a shower so all my family can come see the baby. Autumn is going with me, Taylor will have to work because he is taking his vacation while I'm on leave. I have plans to stay with her when I go.
Something tells me my Mother is behind this. Knowing her she is forcing us to all get along and be closer. I have always loved my Family and until recently I wasn't that close to my Grandmother. Now I can't wait to hear from her again.
I'm really Blessed and it takes little things like e-mails for me to notice. I'm not sure if that's Good or bad, but all I know is I'm starting to feel really happy with how things in my life are headed.
My Mothers death was the hardest thing I have had to go through, but because of it I have gained more in my family.

Yay for beanie babies!!!!!
Dear Tiffany,
Those aren't butterflies in your stomach -- that's your baby kicking! Many women begin to notice these first, faint movements over the next few weeks, but they're super-subtle.
Your baby's first kicks are up there with the most amazing things you'll ever experience.Finally, actual proof that she's alive and well in there. These tummy kicks -- more like flutters at this point -- are reassuring and endlessly amusing, like a little secret just the two of you share. Can't detect 'em just yet? No worries. You may have a few more weeks to go.It's time to sign up for those childbirth classes soon! These sessions will help prep you for the big day, whether you're an "epidural, ASAP!" kind of gal or want to give drug-free birth a go.
Week 17
Baby's Length: 4.5-5 in
Baby's Weight: 3-5 oz.
Baby's Size: Beanie Baby
Pregnancy Tracker: Week 17
My Growing Belly: Month 4
im so fucking excited!!!!

5 reason why Obama Shouldn't be President
Senator Barack Obama is a Democrat currently serving Illinois and has served in the Senate from 2005-Present. He has shown that he is a smooth operator to say the least. And I believe, that, some credit has to go to the company he has been with, over the years.
What has he learned from his associations? And, how much of what he has learned, is he employing, into his campaign?
1. Obama started out early in his campaign attacking big business. Apparently Obama does not know that Big Businesses does not pay taxes. They simply raise their prices. And who is it that get the short end of the stick? That's right! The same ones Obama is claiming, he wants to help.
If you have a good job, now with all of the works; that is, health insurance, dental care, disability insurance, life insurance and pension you are doing well. But not for long. Not under the Obama Plan to attack Big Business so he can pay for all of his social programs. If you are working for a company like the one I described above, with all the works and that company get hit with higher taxes under the Obama Plan, will you be safe? I mean, just suppose the company call a meeting and say to you . . . Listen, over the years we have been able to provide for all of our employees a pension and welfare package. But now, under this new administration, with the increase in taxes, we are sad to have to report, that we are unable to deliver the same kinds of benefits as we once did. No thanks, to your President Barack Obama.
2. What about ten dollars a gallon for gasoline. Barack Obama does not want to drill for more oil. Obama is against it. Obama is against building more nuclear reactors. Nuclear power is important because it is much more environmentally sound compared to coal. If other countries can do it and store their waste safely, then we can do it. And we can do it better than them all combined! The French are recycling their nuke waste to the point it's safe.
The solution? We need to drill here and drill now and pay less!
3. How about a President who gives the green light to the same-sex couples? Obama supports national civil unions giving same-sex couples the same safeguards and rights of marriage. Obama should know (if he is a Christian) that God ordained marriage and God also regulates marriage. Is Obama now trying to take God's role in regulating marriage? Who Is This Guy? What in the world is he teaching his children? What's Next? Pet Owners and their Pets seeking their rights to national civil unions, giving Pet Owners and their Pets the same safeguards and rights of marriage.
As it has been said by the so called Reverend Wright: "He's a politician, I'm a pastor. We speak to two different audiences. And he says what he has to say as a politician.
"
4. Obama is just the kind of President our enemies love. Obama said he will meet with our enemies, does this include Osama? Here is a Headline from Jihad Watch June 12, 2008; by Egyptian Journo: "Muslims love Obama because he will appease them." Fact: The United States has enemies. Fact: We have been told by those who are working day and night to protect us, the CIA, FBI and others; that we will get hit again. Retired Vice Admiral John Scott Redd, head of the National Counterterrorism Center, says, "We have very strong indicators that Al Qaeda is planning to attack the West.
"
In an interview at his headquarters near Washington, D.C., Redd told Newsweek's Mark Hosenball and Jeffrey Bartholet that the country is better prepared than ever to counter such threats. But he also believes another successful terror attack on the U.S. homeland is inevitable.
The question is do Barack Obama believe this or do he believe that whatever problem the Muslim world have against, can be solved by talking and with no pre-conditons set in place? Both cannot be right. Have we or have we not been attacked before? And what about our allies? Haven't they also been attacked? Is not Israel our ally and who is it that threatens to wipe them off the face of the earth? Yet Israel know that you don't begin to have a talk with your enemies unconditionally. Barack Obama biggest problem is poor judgment. Obama can sit in a congregation for many years and allow his family to hear hate messages. He just sits there and allow a man to disrespect God and God's word and lie about our nation.
And look how long it took for Obama to realize, that he needed to denounce his preacher's teachings, once everyone else found out what was going on, in the church he attended. All of those years he was a member and he just realized, while running for the highest office in the land, that his minister's teachings, did not reflect his views. Imagine that! This is not the kind of leader we need, to deal with those, who are our enemies. Why! It just takes to long for Obama to get it. If there is ever a clear and present threat, we do not want someone who cannot make a quick and sound judgment.
5. Then there is the case for "ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION." What is wrong with that statement? Oh! The word ILLEGAL. I know, I know. Some don't like the term ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. They like the term "UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS". Some people don't like the term "HOMOSEXUAL" or "ADULTERY". They like the term "ALTERNATIVE LIFE STYLE". Why? To try to make it sound more appealing.
Making the point that "ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION" ruins the American Economy is not hate speech. Saying I hate someone because they're hispanic is hate speech but Lou Dobbs did not say that. Not only that, Lou Dobbs wife is from Mexico. Therefore Obama again has a judgment problem. Obama has poor judgment.
They have been married 25 years and have two biracial children.. Furthermore, his wife mother and her father lives with them. What Dobbs says is, those who enter illegally demean the status of those who entered legally and cause widespread economic problems both in lower wages and in flooding the social safety net. That is not hateful, that is true.
How can one have a case if they are ILLEGAL?
According to the nonpartisan Urban Institute, in 2002 there were 9.3 Undocumented Immigrants in the United States.
What part of your social security will Obama grant to them before you, get to retire
note: BEFORE ANYONE ELSE THINKS THEY NEED TO ATTACK ME I NEED TO MAKE THIS CLEAR. I DID NOT WRITE THIS. THIS WAS SHARED WITH ME FROM SOMEONE I KNOW AND I CHOSE TO POST IT FOR OTHERS TO SEE. SO IF ANYONE THAT READS THIS AGREES OR DISAGREES GO LOOK UP THE INFORMATION AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF. ALL I WAS TRYING TO TO WAS PASS ON INFORMATION THAT WAS PASSED ONTO ME. TAKE IT HOWEVER YOU WANT BUT DONT ATTACK ME.

4 MONTHS and im getting bigger!
Everyone has been asking me for a photo and now that i look pregnant and not just fat it was time to take one!
i need to leave for a while.
I'm sorry but i need to leave sodahead for just a while. I had fainted on Sunday and hit my chin and knee pretty hard. Lucky Taylor was there to catch me before i hit the ground.
Needless to say i called my Dr. office and spoke to the head nurse. she told me that it could be a number of things but for right now i need to do the fallowing
Sleep as much as i can
Eat 5 small meals a day with snacks in between
Drinks lots of milk water and juice
make sure i eat within a half an hour after waking up.
and i have to eat an hour an a half before going to bed
they finally gave me the go on being able to take Tylenol but my head wasn't bothering me until after i fainted on sunday.
i know your thinking what does sodahead have to do with all those things i listed. well most of the time when i first get home from work at 430 am i get online until i have to get Autumn up at 630. well im trying to sneak in some sleep time before i have to get her up. so that time it lost. not to mention i get up at 2 to pick her up from the bus stop. and right after that i try to nap a little bit to be up at 430. then i have to shower and get the house cleaned and get myself ready for work.
as weird as it sounds i wont be able to spend up time on here. Maybe on the weekends or something i can try to sneak on here to say hi.
i will still find the time to post the happenings on the baby. right now i need to make sure im focusing on myself for the baby's sake.
i hope you all can understand. i will try to do my best to keep everyone updated.
With Love!
