Wasn't there a 2009 thread about this horrific accident?

In the case of Jackie Hance and her husband, Warren, you have another child.

Nearly two years after her children died in a head-on collision that killed a total of eight people on the Taconic Parkway in Westchester County, N.Y., Hance is speaking out for the first time about her paralyzing grief and her current pregnancy with a first-person article in Ladies’ Home Journal. The writer who collaborated with her on the story, Janice Kaplan, was in the studio to speak with TODAY’s Matt Lauer on Wednesday.

To remind everyone of this incident:

The only survivor was Schuler’s son, Bryan, who is now 7.

I can't even imagine the mental and emotional toll this has had on everyone.
