On Sharon Hourn's website the front page begins...
I would like to share a part of my life with you....
12 years ago I lost two beautiful children in tragic circumstances, a truck accident. I was totally devastated, I thought the whole world should stop... but it didn't.
I couldn't find anyone that understood my grief, how many people have lost two children in a truck accident?
Sharon suffered one of the most horrific accidents that anyone would want to within the industry.
Her husband, a driver, often took his family on day trips with him. He traveled the same route each day and knew the road like the back of his hand. It was probably because he knew it so well that this tragedy happened the way it did.
The day of the accident, his family was in the truck.
A car was attempting to pass him on numerous occasions and he commented to Sharon about what an idiot the car driver was. When the car finally overtook, knowing the road he knew they would both not make the approaching bridge and moved to the left.
This was the moved that saved the car driver, killed his two children and injured his wife... yes, Sharon broke her back.

Sharon said " If only Trans-Help had been around when we had our accident! My recovery would have been twice as quick"
Sharon has since done multiple grief and counselling courses, not only as a way to personally cope but also for her to be available to help others. She is now one of the Trans-Help Team and a real inspiration.
