PALMDALE – A 22-year-old driver dozed off at the wheel early Friday morning and caused a single-vehicle crash, which killed two of his passengers, authorities said.

Palmdale residents Alexander Alvarez and Michael Zavala, both 21, were pronounced dead at the scene of the fatal collision, which occurred around 5 a.m. Friday, Feb. 27, on Sierra Highway, south of Pearblossom Highway, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

Alvarez and Zavala were passengers in a 2009 Honda, driven by 22-year-old William Navarro of Palmdale, the CHP report states.

Navarro was driving northbound on Sierra Highway in the No. 2 lane at about 55 mph, according to the CHP report.

“[Navarro] stated he dozed off prior to the collision and woke up when one of the passengers in the vehicle yelled out,” the CHP report states.

The front end of the Honda crashed into a metal guardrail on the right shoulder of the road, and the impact sent the guardrail through the right side of the vehicle’s windshield, according to the CHP report.

The guardrail struck Alvarez, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and then struck Zavala, who was sitting in the right back seat, and both suffered fatal injuries, according to the CHP report.

Nineteen-year-old Stephanie Estrada was sitting in the left back seat and was lying in Zavala’s lap at the time of the collision, the CHP report states. Estrada sustained lacerations to her right shoulder and was transported to Antelope Valley Hospital for her injuries, according to the CHP report.

Navarro complained of pain to his head, but he was not transported to the hospital, the CHP report states.

UPDATE: Friends say the two deceased passengers went by the nicknames Dj’Dose (Alvarez) and Dj’Envy (Zavala).

  1. This is still going on? All the debate about these kids well let’s come out with the truth the only thing Dj Envy’s dad paid for was his Mariachi & loaned the ranch for the gathering because from what is rumored his boss gave him some money for the funeral of which he paid NOTHING!!!! my family member works with him and that shady ass [removed] the donations she was given to cover for the burial cost because his dad pocket all that money period and he was just mad cuz my girl could hear his now sancha/wife complain about how her kid wasn’t in any of the pictures they were showing at the wake seriously lady you don’t talk about that in a funeral who gives a [removed] if your kid wasn’t in the pictures I get she was trying to support the dude but to sit there and talk shit then act innocent and concerned that some kind of [removed] snake for you? Then she was laughing with some other lady that was there saying he’s introducing me to his ex’s family saying Que me importa ? All i saw was Pinche feria con ese vato y haina Luz I’m sorry you are going through all that pain be careful cuz that fool is gonna go after any money you get he’s No one to trust my heart goes out to you and the familia keep your heads up.

  3. I am sooo amazed how can people just talk so much crap n lies wirhout knowing the events if how things happened, no one was there at the time of the accident . So DO NOT !!! Speak up n say anything without knowing the facts. I cannot believe all the disrespectful comments made for the families to read SPECIALLY !!! for alex mother n michaels!! No respect at all for them !!! I am the mother of the female passenger that got injured, n now is traumatize for the. Rest of her life of this event, no one knows what my daughter goes thru ever since this ttragedy happened how dare u call her a groupie! ! She was michaels girlfriend , not just a groupie ,what people are saying, no one has an idea what all four families are going thru ,its the most painful hurtful thing u can go thu , there are two mothers without there sons, myself with my daughter injured n traumatized of what she witness n saw n the other guy, which now he needs to live with this for the rest of his life. No one wins here!!! We are all suffering. As a mother i just hop . That god gives us all peace n closure . N for those stop now talkin crap that u do not know! !!

    • Sandra,

      I cannot understand the way people attack victims. I have seen it on these AV Times forums for years. People come up with their own conspiracies, tend to believe them, and attack the victims. It is cruel and I believe it is a poor attempt to feel important. Their ignorance and inability to show empathy and sympathy is deplorable. A community should reinforce each other during the bad times. I feel terrible for the loss of these two kids. Just know that not everyone is a bad apple. Some of us truly have your families in our prayers. You guys have enough on your plate to be worrying about all of this nonsense. What the people below say is not important. They are not worth your time.

      • Thank you for your kind words n support at this time , i totally understand. That all that negativity is not important, but i just had to speak up n say it , ive been quiet thru out this ordeal , and yesterday reading all that really got to me !!! But yes itz time to just support one another n have our father in heaven help us all. But again thank you! ! Those are the kind of comments to read .

  4. I’m Stephanie estrada the girl who was in the accident, a groupie? Really? Lol excuse me but I’m Mikes girlfriend. You people are highly disrespectful! His family did nothing wrong.. Leave them alone in this time, this is hard for all of us. I don’t understand why people always have something to say. Let him rest in peace.

    • Hi Stephanie, I may have been the first person to use the term groupie in this feed. My full sentence was that you may have been a friend or a groupie. That was in response to a rather negative (I felt) comment. Please accept my apology.

  5. To everyone on here judging. If your not immediate family to the ones involved just stop all this bs… And for those in the fam that “don’t agree” with what was done at a wake or burial or get together for these young men just keep all your comments to yourself. I for one as well as the rest of my family have spoken about what we want for when it’s our time and what half of us want isn’t “normal” I personally want no grieving or wearing black or anything traditional I want a party were everyone can remember all the funny and crazy things I’ve done. I have 4 kids and I would hate to know that they’re seeing a very sad reunion. A lot of people don’t agree but [removed] this is hell and we go to a better place so why be sad. There’s no more pain, diseases, stress and so one on the other side. So please just be happy they are going to a better place. Also everyone needs to understand that for the children of the deceased they are going to suffer and more with all these dumb comments.

  6. For all of you who are talking crap [removed] You!!! Two lives were lost anD this is SUPPOSE to be a place where people can come to remember the lost ones. EACH and everyone has a right to grieve their own way. IF you went to the funeral or to the gathering just to criticize all I can say is I hope you don’t loose anyone soon! How dare you talk [removed] over a life lost!!! There was no alcohol involved , IT WAS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT!!!!!!!
    Also, whether the family sues the city or the driver, it really is no ones business other than the [removed] FAMILY!!!! Everyone wants to have a opinion until it actually affects them….
    All you haters imagine it was your loved one killed , instead of criticizing his brother and how the family feels the need to celebrate the lost life, GET A LIFE AND BE RESPECTFUL!!!!!
    NO ONE WANTS TO GO THROUGH THE FEELING OF LOOSING A LOVED ONE, A FRIEND, A FAMILY MEMBER SO INSTEAD OF [removed] TALKING , YOU SHOULD OF MADE A DONATION! For those who did not know, one of then had 2 kids!!! Either STFU of go help the families…. May all you haters and [removed] talkers ROT IN HELL !!!!!
    TO THE FAMILIES : YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GRIEF HOW YOU SEE FIT, YOU AND ONLY YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FEELING AND WHAT YOU ARE GOING THRU!! I made a donation of course and all I can say is I’m sorry for your loss… May his soul rest in peace….

  7. Please let us let these two young men rest in peace!!!!!!! Seriously. I go to school with William and i can tell he’s hurt all the above i just feel like by you hating him is not gonna bring you son or rony back im sorry, just give it some time everything will fall in place and just please let these two young men rest peacefully that’s all the mother asking but mom no need for threats just gonna make the problem worse! !!!

    • Exactly what I was thinking this family is trying to speak out & only making it worse I’m glad there’s people who see Williams pain too he’s not the same anymore walking around in a zombie like state he’s gonna need professional help after all of this. This family knows it is a small town everyone knows almost everyone word is already out there people already know who her kids are & by reading all the comments I mean my brother in law knows Eddie & said when he drinks he gets stupid acts tough and runs his mouth so no surprise there. Hope this family heals soon.

    • I can’t believe what I’m reading? It’s it’s obvious that neither of you are mothers!!! Who the hell in their right mind says to a grieving mother give it some time? Number one I highly doubt William is suffering that much if he’s back in school already? somebody who was affected as much as everyone states he supposably is wouldn’t be back in school so soon or work for that matter why because poor William” is so distraught he can’t think straight Get real & No nothing anyone says or does will bring our friends back but do know it is and was Williams responsibility the moment he decided to get in that car as tired as he was and (quote) fell asleep. I do hope these parents talk to the district attorney and file some kind of negligence case against him. everything in this life has consequences and I don’t think williams pain and suffering is one of them.

      • [removed] im a mother so yeah dont judge a book by its cover Just because he’s back at school makes him act like nothing happened? Well you know life goes on! And he really isn’t the same no more And i understand rony n Michel mom’s are the same either but it was an accident and accidents happen okay your not perfect! Let’s just say if it was the other way around? We don’t know how the family’s of these two young mans are feeling or William or his family.
        The Court can’t do anything to William if they already stated it was an accident they can’t charge him now n maybe he’s at school to keep his mind off things!!!

  8. I’m Michaels mom Please I’m begging you guys stop talking about my family and disrespecting in my son memory because you guys don’t know my family and what we are going through everything we did was because I know my son would of been happy. If you don’t know us don’t talk and I thank everyone for helping us with ur donations and caring about my son and if anyone has any doubt and problems you can feel free to send me ur inforation or you can come here so i can return ur donation I would love to see you in person and something else I know other are asking for donations in the name of my son but it’s not us we have not received any other money from no one else but I’m going to take care of that I don’t want you guys to think we are collecting from everyone because that is not true thank you god bless you guys and hope you never go through this because it hurts alot to see all your negative comments about my family in these hard times. I would like for all those who are talking bad about my family I would like to talk to you in person no fighting just talk and clear things!

      • lady I’m sorry that you have to read all of these comments they’re just comments opinions of what people are seeing and have seen and continue to see I understand you get mad but you just say it right now people are collecting and have collect that money using Mikes name you know who it is I know everything being said is negative but are you guys and your family thinking about William he was their friend too and right now he’s being dragged through the mud because of your family and the comments that they’re making people talking about it even at the ranch and how William wasn’t allowed to pay his respects because Mike’s dad didn’t want him there all this [removed] Mike’s dad is talking to everyone who will listen about William about it being his fault it was an accident pretty messed up on all parts his parents have to deal with people calling his son a killer everybody talking about him too yes your son is dead but William is a life he has to deal with everybody’s crap everyone who knows with him knows he’s a great person he’s my co worker and he has a very kind heart he didn’t mean for anything to happen and now he’s struggling with his emotions to because I’m sure he feels some guilt everybody needs to stop trying to blame everybody and everyone needs to keep their comments to their self in the end everyone is hurt by this think about that and it doesn’t help when you’re ignorant son in law makes fictitious threats

    • Luz.. I was lucky enough to meet Michael on the 25th of Feb. Him and your son Johnny came to my house and finished a glass tile backsplash in my kitchen. He was a very respectable and nice young man. These trolls on this website..Don’t pay them no mind. if you happen to look at other posts here, its the same boneheads always saying something. Its like they have an agenda so they use other peoples tragedies to voice what they think they know.
      My father always told me…. Son, “Kill em With A Smile” Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff..

      You know what Michael would want, your HIS MOTHER…and thats all that matters. GodSpeed to Michael, and May God Keep Your Family In His Heart..Always!

      God Bless
      Nick

      • People let us be more understanding to other people’s pain be sensitive to their feelings & above all respectful, let’s not cast blame on anyone Some of us are mother’s we have brothers, sisters, Aunts, nieces, nephews,uncles ect.. we have family let’s not forget this could happen to anyone of us! Please this mother is begging everyone to STOP” put yourself in her shoes see her pain imagine it’s your mother in her reflection wouldn’t you stop? May God be with all whom were affected and find the peace everyone seeks.

  9. I can’t believe this! How people are so judmental! People grief different specially men! Why are people making this about money yes they did ask for help many have as well why is this any different! Because many offered to helped good deed always goes wrong people are just never satisfied! They always find something to say bad all you people that know johnny or his family and is just talking out of your ass come on now let’s get real now! When you have been in a situation like this then maybe I would see your point! The dad didn’t go in to see his son does that tell you he doesn’t love his son or he didn’t care for the lost of his son, no he maybe just didn’t want to show his emotions john and his dad are the same they like to hide their feelings and show no emotions i know this because i know the family personaly, did anyone stay after the burial! Of course not but his immediate family did perhaps u missed that! Rip michael

  11. I think I had Michael in my class in Cactus. At lease I know I had a Michael Zavala. This would have been nine years ago. My condolences regardless of who or what was at fault. The reality is two young men are dead, never to hold, touch, interact with their loved ones ever again. That is sad beyond imagination.

  12. I can’t believe how hurtful people’s comments can be regarding money and how family members look unphased. Not everyone grieves the same. Our family has been through many difficult times and every member was affected and grieved differently. Some people react the way you would expect. Others are still in shock and dazed and it’s like a horrible nightmare you are just walking though as a zombie and going through the motions of normal daily life, and then it hits you. Also, they weren’t asking for much. Funerals nowadays run into the tens of thousands. I am positive that this family has used every single dollar donated towards what it was intended for. I can’t understand how people can be so judgement and hurtful during this horrible time. People will never understand until a death shakes up their world to the core.

    • I totally agree with you but can’t stop to think that honestly Mariachi and an after party are totally going a little over board plus Johnny did sound excited when he found out they were gonna get a good lump sum for the accident so I think he pretty much set himself up on that one and his dad buy the shirts to hand them out for free!!! But nope mikes siblings were making a profit out of it so come on now what do you expect everyone to think? Js

      • I dont know who you are and the words that are coming up with and Who your getting your info from. I would want my brother to be here instead of money my father didn’t pay for any of the shirts they came from my pocket and my brother in law. We sold them for the same price we got them for. So before you start talking [removed] on this know your facts!!!! I can’t believe the stuff you guys are saying . I never wanted to bury my brother he was suppose to bury us. So don’t you ever say [removed] about me or my family when you don’t know anything!!!!

        • The shirt went to are family who wanted them only and ordered them so you have no idea Sal stop making up stories that aren’t true. This feeling my family and I are going threw is hard and painful in are hearts to lose a brother, son, cousin, and friend.

        • Johnny,
          Seriously dont worry about the negative comments, you are allowed to grieve however you need too. There is alot of stupid people out there and honestly their opinion does not matter. All that matters is family and you and your family deserve all the respect and I am sure you guys will go forward as you see fit. I gladly made a donation and burned a white candle in his memory. I wish you all well and I hope you can see past ignorant peoples st*pidity…

        • Yea who are you.
          Let me tell you something To you Sal420 and megan.
          If you want to run your mouth. It’s a small town my boys.
          Keep running your lips. Both off you. and people here know people.
          and I will find you. Ok!!.
          so hope you get my message. And you know how to read in between the lines.
          And by the way this is Mikes brother in law. Eddie.
          catch me anywhere you want.

          • Homie you are a wanna be has been joke! Don’t bother trying to threaten me with your fake a** lines you were the one giving details about the night it happened at the house all the boys who were there eard how it went down by your mouth so don’t play dumb

          • Sal 420 is that the only thing u could say! Reply to someone that is warning u to stop talking wrong about our family!but u don’t have the courtesy to actually talk to family members in direct! U don’t know anything, u speak like u know every fact about us but u have know IDea, ur a fool! I don’t wish this pain on no one but the day u go through what we are going through u will see how things really are! And how people can judge something so innocent and make statements like u know what’s going on with us! So ur as fake as u speak,,,

      • It’s so funny how ur so ez to judge and criticize! When u have no idea what ur talking about! By the way I’m mikes older sister! I don’t need to explain anything but I am since ur so judge mental and of course I will stand up for my family and my self! First of all my brothers was all about music the mariachi was something my dad wanted to do for his son! how dare u question his feelings, he lost a son! many helped and we r thankful and greatful for those who did, my dad wanted to show his appreciation to them! How dare u put that my brother was excited about money like if he didn’t care for our brothers lost what kind of person are u! And the shirts I don’t know who’s giving u info but u got it twisted never once did money come out of my dad’s pocket! We had decided to make shirts for us and our Immediate family, came out of john and my husband! people that wanted shirts or sweater they would pay for them the price we got them, I don’t get how u get profit out of that! Get ur facts right b4 u start posting a judgemental comment! U have no idea what we r going through for u to top it off with this bs it’s pathetic! And if u have anymore to say u know where we live don’t hide and be fake! I love my brother I miss him everyday I wish he was still here! U don’t know our feelings u have no idea what our parents are going through!

      • Wow” seriously f…up thing to say!!! Who are we to judge how someone buries their dead? everyone chill & stop with the comebacks,, no I don’t agree with a lot of [removed] that went down or how it went down but let’s show a little respect to the families of the homies mike & alex much love and respect to william and Steph hope you guys pull through the traumatic event .

      • if you got something to say you can speak to me directly. im not going to sit hear and read this [removed] you are writing. I will never wish death upon anybody but you should watch what comes outta your words.

      • No I don’t think it is overboard at all. I don’t know this family but I do know Every one has their own customs on mourning someone or the practices that happen after. My family is from Sinaloa and we see nothing wrong with banda playing during or even after. It may seem unusual, but some people cry some people smile or laugh with memories of the deceased. we celebrate a life we knew and that we will all miss. Stop being so judgmental. And if you don’t know first hand you shouldn’t say anything. That’s really disrespectful.

      • Sal420, I don’t need to threaten you but what I can say is I am GLAD I don’t know you!!! You obviously only went to the gathering to criticize and well you should of stayed home! Everyone is entitled to their opinion but honestly this is so disrespectful!!! If you had anything in your head you would know that people grieve in different ways and honestly you where welcomed to the gathering, in good faith with open arms so I think you need to be a bit more respectful . People like you should not procreate!!! I honestly think you should walk away and keep yourself away from Johnny and anyone else who is actually a REAL friend cuz clearly you are not….

  13. Mi mas sentido pesame a las cuatro familias afectadas
    Dios les de mucha Fortaleza para enfrentar este dolor

  14. Our deepest sympathy to both families at this time of sorrow. Michael Zavala & Alexander Alvarez are in Gods care now & what better care could we ask for these two young men?
    Now we pray for Michael & Alexander for their comfort in the days ahead. God bless them & keep you both in His tender care & love for all eternity!
    To the families of Michael & Alexander:
    As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens. Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Those nights when you can’t find peace to the heartache the tragedy left you with look up to the sky .. Perhaps those shining little lights are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost one pours through & shines down upon us to let us know that they are happy.

    Will have both families in our prayers!

    RIP Michael “DJ Envy” Zavala
    RIP Alexander “DJ Dose” Alvarez

    • That was a beautiful post from the Soto Family….I pray that your heartfelt words touch all who are grieving at this time. God Bless you and the young men who are now sitting on the right hand of God.

  15. Descansen en paz! Y el más sentido pésame a sus familiares. Es el mismo camino de regreso a mi casa, tendré más precaución. Que Diosito los guarde.

  16. All, I’m the driver that was behind them and stopped to call 911. There was no DUI or anything wrong with the driver before we got off the 14 fwy. This was a horrible accident. I could only see the man in the front passenger seat and knew it wasn’t good. My husband and I stayed until the fire department and paramedics arrived. I prayed and hoped that the men who died didn’t suffer. I now pray for the young driver and passenger who survived as well as the families and friends of all 4 young people whose lives are changed forever.

Shame on you people.

  21. There was no DUI in this case these two boys or the driver or the other passenger that survived this tragic accident, the two boys were like brothers had just come home from working. They were DJ’s. Alexander Alvarez a.k.a. Rony was stagename: DJ Dose’ and Michael Zavala was stagename: DJ Envy, they were coming up in the DJ world. According to a sheriffs deputy who was on the scene the guardrail pierced Alvarez and Zavala killing them instantly. Alexander Alvarez is survived by his two children a baby boy and baby girl. If you could please donate anything helps.

  22. Yes, it is sad these men had to go, especially in that way. But WTF, guardrails? Why install something that has the potential to enter your car like a spear? Are you kidding? Most I’ve seen bend back a bit at the ends, to AVOID this situation…

    • I drove past there a little after 7. you are right, only thing that rail guarded was the side of the road. i thought there was supposed to be some ‘give’ in those rails. that car was pierced from front to back. at ~55mph.

    • If a drunk driver crashes his car into a guardrail and kills two people, is it the guardrail’s fault?

      Sadly, our legal system is so screwed up that some judge somewhere will answer yes and there will be a large settlement (read: taxpayer money) paid out.

      • THEY WERE NOT DRUNK..THEY WERE COMING HOME FROM WORK..AND DRIVING SPEED LIMIT ….. IT WAS A ACCIDENT

        • There was no DUI in this case these two boys or the driver or the other passenger that survived this tragic accident, the two boys were like brothers had just come home from working.

        • HE WAS DRINKING, WHY WOULD THE GIRL BE WITH THEM IF THEY WERE WORKING? THEY WENT CLUBBING, CAME HOME WASTED. SHOULDVE SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE CAR. RIP.

          • Why in the hell u say that if u were not there , chisnes are lies n thats what your sayin ,u were not there n they were not wated. N by the way in the mother of the female driver Michaels girlfriend.

      • There was no alcohol in his system he was not drunk so therefore yes it is also the cities fault. Please keep your negative comments to yourself thank you.

        • He ‘dozed off’ indicates it was his fault… he fell asleep. You’re going to blame the city because he was asleep while driving? You cannot be serious..

        • Don’t blame the.City.
          If he was that sleepy. He should now have been DRIVING.
          He PUT OTHERS DRIVERS LIFES IN DANGER.

      • You obviously are incoherent to the news about big corporate America
        that lied to the US hwy administration and altered their guard rail design to save big $$$ without notifying the gov’t. The cost saving cheats lied about the engineering design by purposely narrowing the width to save $$$ resulting in unwarranted mayem and death across the U.S.

      • No alcohol in drivers system, he dosed off. Thrnguard rail was pulled out from a previous accident. The guard rail would have saved their lives if it wasn’t pulled out, also there’s a lot of lawsuits against the guard rail comp because it’s suppose to stop a vehicle and the rail is suppose to break apart but instead it goes right through cars and kills people :(
        RIP Boys

      • They were partying that night there’s video circulating Facebook of the events prior to the accident & maybe that’s why they were all tired? when we payed our respects that morning his brother in law even said it I guess people even took pictures of the event how sad!!!

  25. May the two young men RIP! My prayers go out to their families and friends! Prayers to the survivors give them peace and strength!

  26. So sad for all the young lives involved in this tragedy! My heart goes out to every one of them and their families! Seek out Jehovah the only true God, and you will find comfort (in hope) and peace of heart and mind. Promise! for the two young men who each lost their life too soon, Alexander Alvarez and Michael Zavala RIP you will be missed. William and Stephanie, You are in my thoughts and prayers.

  28. i came off the fwy ramp at pearblossom this morning just after 7am. i could not believe what i saw. the guardrail went in through front of car and out the rear windshield. i was hoping no one was in those passenger seats, because i knew there was no way to survive that. thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims. i once fell asleep at the wheel after being out all night as a teen. i crashed but thankfully only hurt my pride and my car. i pray the young driver was not dui

  29. So sad and such a horrible scene! Will the driver face criminal charges after all everyone in the car was intoxicated, but we all know the only one liable is the driver. Prayers to the family and friends.

  30. It was a horrific scene!!! But why doesn’t the report state that everyone in the car was intoxicated? & will the driver face criminal charges for involuntary manslaughter?

    • Stephanie (aka Mia from Facebook) you made this same allegation on FB. When it was pointed out to you that the AV Press reported that the CHP report stated driver fell asleep at the wheel after being up all the previous day and night. Then you deleted all your comments.

      Do you not think if alcohol would have been the cause, the driver would have been arrested? It’s hard to understand why you would want to stir up trouble while these families are grieving.

    • Don’t you think the report would state that if that was the case. Also even if the passengers were intoxicated didn’t they do the right thing by not driving? While the driver didn’t have one drink? So therefore your allegations are wrong. The driver wasn’t intoxicated. Keep your comments to yourself you have no idea what these families and friends are going through.

    • Don’t you think that if that was the case they would’ve written about it? Even if the passengers were intoxicated didn’t they do the right thing by not driving? Also the driver didn’t have one drink so therefor your allegations are wrong. Rony, Michael, and Stephanie did the right thing by not driving under the influence and letting this sober guy drive. So please keep your negative comments to yourself you have no idea what the families and friends are going through.

      • Didn’t anyone go to the ranch? You could hear all the talk about how they were DJ’s so obviously they were partying & mike’s gf would tag along weather they were drinking or not so let’s stop with the groupie part and the fact that people are sharing pictures of the accident and videos of their last night drinking doesn’t exactly help at all!!!!

    • Agree! They were at a club that night & drinking so William should face criminal charges for manslaughter. But apparently some families aren’t suffering the loss that much? All of the VA area can see one family making a profit out of the death of one of these kids smh.

      • I felt [removed] up thinking that to but i saw that [removed] too mike r.i.p homie your running your mix in heaven now on the real all his family see is money! real talk the only one you can see really affected is his mom

        • For real everybody is commenting about that some of the guys are talking about his brother not even being fazed on his death once he saw that money rolling in. R.i.P my boy mike.

          • The service was very sad and an overwhelming event you could see and feel his mother’s pain. I had my reservations about the rumors and doubts but couldn’t help to see Johnny didn’t even look the least bit affected by mikes death and some grief differently? I just hope money is really not the factor here.

  37. Dang. Saw it this morning about 5 min after it had happened. Didn’t see anyone in the car. And only a couple people standing outside. Was hoping that there was nobody in the passenger front/rear. That guardrail had to be sticking like 20ft out of the back of the car. So sad. Rip. And condolences to the families and friends. So sad.

  38. so so tragic…. god bless all those who have been affected by this tragic event.

    May the young men RIP.
