    Hope this jerk goes to prison for a long time:

    Three people died in a car wreck before noon Friday in Montgomery County. The driver of the 18-wheeler truck faces three charges of intoxication manslaughter, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

    The five-vehicle accident happened along Texas 105 East near South Walker Road at approximately 11:10 a.m. Two victims died at the scene and another died after being transported to the Conroe Regional Medical Facility. A child was transported to that hospital and then flown to Herman Memorial Downtown in critical condition.

    The driver of the 18 wheeler failed to control its speed before crashing into four vehicles on the thoroughfare, according to the Texas DPS report. Chad Fletcher, 38, was arrested on three charges of intoxication manslaughter and another charge of intoxication assault.

    This is so disturbing because an innocent child lost her parents and now in critical condition.This family may have been going home from the grocery store or maybe enjoyed a day at the park then some drunk truck driver killed them.May God bless their soul and my thoughts and prayers are with the child right now.

    This makes my blood boil. They should put him in a cage in the cemetery directly in front of the graves of the victims so he could sit there and stare at exactly what he did for the rest of his miserable existence.
