It could of been any one of them driving and if Megan was Elyse's friend she would want all of this forgotten.

Maybe she should get Mikael Cherry's defense attorney. She'll never get in trouble for killing someone then.

Relating to the accident of January 4th, mistakes were made by several parties that evening. These are mistakes that these children and their families will have to live with forever. I was wondering why there was still no mention of Brytney Olsen? - The front seat passenger. It is a common understanding that Brytney Olsen fled the accident scene immediately after impact, and called her family for a ride home on her cell phone. While leaving the two injured girls in a vehicle helpless, one suffering from head trauma, the other with compound leg fractures. The girls were unable to move, or locate a phone to call for help. The three girls were under the supervision of Brytney's mother that evening, and were supposed to stay at Brytney's home.Brytney's family brought her back to their home and left her there, her family then returned to the accident scene, still not notifying police or calling 911. Later that evening Brytney was brought to Sacred Heart Hospital by her family for treatment
