I thought it was earlier than that.
Good questions Ken. Someone who isn't familiar with the area may not have realized that this accident really didn't seem to have happened on the way to school. How many parents told their kids about the accident?
I know I told my boys and when the footage came on the news, I made sure they saw.

"On 01-06-06 at 0739 hours a car carrying 4 youth ranging in age from 14 to 17 years old crossed the center line, while traveling south bound on State Route 5 in Loveville"
My daughter said rumor was they were going to McDonalds first. Again, I dont know if this is accurate or not.

I was at work when I heard about the accident, and i panicked. I let my daugther drive to school that day. I was so worried that I called the school and asked that she call me as soon as class let out. It was about 20 min before she called, the longest 20 min of my life.
I have talked to my girls about it quite a bit. Trying to make them understand how things change in an instant.

Yep, I believe school used to start at 7:20, now it starts at 8:00. It was changed a couple years ago. Only a few schools still open early in St. Mary's. I know Esperanza Middle is one of them.
Thought it was odd they were traveling south too, but it's very possible they could have been going to McD's. I drop my son off at Chopticon at 7:00 each morning, and then have a wait before dropping my daughter off at Margaret Brent at 8:00, so lots of mornings we travel on down to L'town to get McD's or even go to Food Lion to get something quick to eat in between. So that's plausible.
I'll ask my son about absenses being excused tomorrow. They are in the middle of finals, so not sure how that would work out. I've talked to my son quite a bit about the accident, as he has his learner's permit right now and getting set to get his provisionals here shortly. We've been practicing passing on the highways, and I had just been talking to him about not passing on 2-lane roads yet, since it's so hard to gauge distances when you are not an experienced driver. Head on collisions are just so deadly. And if they weren't wearing seatbelts, that is just asking for disaster. As sad as it is, it was a good example of what could happen.
Somebody said they where well mannered, if the "accident" happened at 7:39am or in there and abouts, and they where traveling southbound, they had already passed the turns as someone stated to get there.
The school states they had to be there at 7:45am as they did not use the bus, so where these kids going to school at all?????? Makes you wonder, also driving violations no seat belts, they where not immediate family (( cousins are not immediate family )) and after see the pics of the car, im a say speeding aswell maybe.
When will people learn that theres nothing on the road more crushable than them.
Its comical i see more ad's on TV for weight loss crap, and fitness crap, and yet not 1 single ad on there aiming towards, drink driving, speeding, etc etc etc,

True, The driver that was responsible for the death of my brother was not charged right away. Charges were pending review of the accident report. He was eventually charged by the State of Maryland with vehicular homicide.Nickel said:

I would bet money they were going to school, possibly getting ready to turn on to Sunnyside Road, another route to Chopticon. Granted, it may not be the quickest route from their home, but they may have been headed to school nontheless.
The two boys are basketball players and they had a game scheduled at GMHS that night (since postponed). In order to participate in afterschool activities, students must attend school that day.
