In the post, she commends a teenager who held the hand of one of the two people who died in a white SUV. It also criticizes other onlookers who didn't stop to help.

In the end, Hogue says she's learned a lot from crash and now wants to work to decrease drunk driving incidents. She also says public opinion on teenagers isn't true after the compassion she saw first-hand.
