I feel that the wording of the title of this article is offensive to those that knew Matthew. It probably wasn’t intended to be as disturbing as it is, but one should take in more consideration when dealing with a topic like this. I am particularly upset about “Car vs. Pole.” Please remember that there was a human being, whom was loved by others, involved in this incident.
No intent to be disturbing … the phrase is commonly used in emergency communications and traffic communications. We’re very much aware of the tragedies involving human beings in the reports — and they happen too often. Thanks for your opinion.
