Does fatal injuries mean the other person will die too?
Sigh…It means that writing articles when I’m trying to keep from faceplanting into my keyboard is hazardous to the truth. Sorry! Fixed now. Thank you.
My condolences to the family and friends of the person who died. May they RIP. I sincerely hope the one with major injures will heal and be as good as new again. Wonder how their dog is doing.
Can anyone tell me what the vehicle involved was???
Any news on the identity of these two young men? I’m one of the construction crew members that witnessed this accident.
Was it a white suburbs? My friend is missing and the other occupant is in the hospital. The authorities won’t give us any info
Definitely was a white Subaru. Drove by it last night
Suburu impresa. His dad can’t get any info
Hello John. I’m with one of who we think was the passengers father. We can’t get any info. Can you please call bob zimmerman at 6033053308
I witnessed this accident. They were traveling towards my carpool and crossed over the highway in front of us, hit a tree, did a 360⁰ and hit another tree. It was a very violent crash. The guy never hit the brakes! No skidmarks… the driver took his last breath in front of us. The passenger was in bad shape. The dog, a young German Shepherd, came to me with a broken leg and frantic. I had to help with traffic control and she ran off. She’s still out there.
People need to drive like their lives depend on it!!! Stop drinking and driving! Use your damn seat belt! Pull your head out of your asses!!! I never want to come across this again! These guys were young. Teach your kids!
I can imagine you are slightly shocked and distraught about witnessing such tragedy. These two gentlemen were young but none the less adults, I’m sure their parents taught them better…We all make mistakes, some are larger mistakes than others.. Rest In Peace
