Accident victim stories are overdone

There have been a number of car-bicycle accidents recently ["Tears for Jackeline," News, June 14]. While this is very tragic, is it necessary to put repeated articles about the victim in the paper?
Please understand that there are two victims in these accidents. The one who has been injured or killed and possibly the driver. While articles get written about the one victim, the driver suffers in silence. They have to relive this horrible nightmare every day.
