The Brunswick News, December 1979
Two Slightly Injured
two slightly injured
on Kings Way
at 7:32 this morning
on St. Simons Island
in an accident
Glynn County police searching
for an elderly woman
driving a white vehicle
Thomas Desjean
the drunk postal worker
was passing
in a T intersection
when the white car
pulled into his lane
he then lost control of his vehicle
and struck
a 13-year-old girl
Kimberly Lynn Haynes
waiting on a school bus
and then collided
with a tree
the Haynes child
was in good condition
<wait, WHAT?!
good condition?
in whose opinion?>
at Brunswick Hospital
at press time
<get this: Desjean
was treated
and released at the hospital>
police are searching
for the elderly woman
for failing to stop
and render aid in an accident
<let me tell you
who stopped
and rendered aid:
two grandmotherly
black nurses
pure angels
on their way
to work
at the Brunswick Hospital…
let me tell you
who they put in MY ambulance with me:
Thomas Desjean….
let me tell you
who brought me
a Snoopy book
and an apology
a week later
so he could move on
with his pitiful life:
Thomas Desjean….
let me tell you
who was NOT
in good condition
as reported at press time
and still has nightmares
about that morning:
Kimberly Lynn Haynes
let me tell you
who worked a miracle
that day:
God>
