PALMDALE – A 25-year-old Lancaster man died Monday morning after he was ejected from his overturning car and then hit by two vehicles on the Antelope Valley (14) Freeway, authorities said.
It happened around 5:27 a.m. Monday, Dec. 7, on northbound SR-14, north of Avenue O, according to a California Highway Patrol report.
The man, whose name has not yet been released pending next of kin notification, was driving northbound in a 2004 Honda “at a high rate of speed in the center divider,” the CHP report states, citing witness statements.
He lost control of the Honda, and the vehicle “crossed all northbound lanes, traveled along the embankment and overturned numerous times,” the CHP report states.
The Honda’s driver was ejected onto the northbound No. 3 lane, where he struck and dragged by “an unknown truck-tractor/trailer combination,” according to the CHP report.
The Honda’s driver “came to rest several feet north,” then he was struck again, this time by a 2002 Ford, the CHP report states.
The Ford’s driver, 38-year-old Aaron Reyes of Palmdale, remained at the scene, according to the CHP.
Anyone with information regarding the big-rig’s driver or anyone who may have witnessed this collision is encouraged to contact the Antelope Valley CHP Office at 661-948-8541.

To all you people who are talking out your asses.This family has just went threw two terrible tragedies this year.I was taught if you have nothing nice to say then stay quite. How can you call your selfs humans and look in the mirror? This was a young man trying to support his family. You all talk smack when someone robs another person on the streets up here. This was a working man.I hope one day you end up in a situation like this and are pombarted with negative feedback. We should all be coming to this families side in their time of need.next week is is my 41birthday and all I want is the monenies that would of been spent on gifts for me is to be donated to this gentleman’s famila.

T Lyn McBride says
To the young man that lost his life in that tragic accident my condolences got out to his wife and child. My daughter and I saw this young man lying on the freeway. No matter the circumstances a person has lost his life and a wife is now without a husband and a child without a father. With everything negative going on in the world around us, try to show some respect to the victims family and friends. Rest in Paradise.
David W. says
I was northbound at the time, and passed by minutes after the wreck. Police and fire were arriving, he was not yet covered up, on the highway. Tragic.
I think but am not sure that his car passed me on the highway around the 99¢ store area minutes before. I remember the car was going fast but not crazy fast.
RIP
Lashonya says
I was on my way to work on the 14 going south bound to sanfernando valley and i seen his body laying there not covered up at 5:40am … So sad RIP
Oscar Mejia says
This is truly hard breaking! My heart sank just to read about the accident. My condolences to the family, and may they have the strength to continue life in his honor.

Lopez says
Doesn’t matter the circumstances, still painful no matter how you look at it especially this time of year, suffering a double dose of tragedy. If anything the only good thing is mother and son are angels together in heaven or whatever type of afterlife you believe. We have all been in a rush and wreck less with our driving at one point or another, no one is immune to potential tragedy, no one knows when their time is up.. I know our community should pull together to help support victims and their families especially when there is children involved. We don’t personally know you or your family and I’m sure your mother and brother were remarkable people, if your open to it, we pick a family each year during the holiday season that needs extra love for any number of reasons and we try and brighten their Christmas for them to lessen the pain even if it’s temporary and your brothers wife and children certainly are at the top of the list, if you’d like to exchange information and send us their Christmas lists, we would like to help make that happen. Sincerely the Lopez family of Lancaster.
Janeth says
This is his youngest sister, thank you so much for your words. We would be so great full for your good deed & I strongly agree with you.the kids or wife shouldn’t be going through this pain at this time of the year. You can email me to jmorones323@yahoo.com I will gladly send you their Christmas list . Thank you so much again and God bless you & your family!
krista says
Hello Janeth,
Yes please send me their names ages and sizes and something on their wish list and we will do our best to bring some happiness to your family. Here is my email kristandanny@peoplepc.com
Nancy says
My prI want you all to know I will be keeping all of you in my prayers. In case it might help Palmdale Reginal Hospital has a grief support group they hold on every Thursday night @ 6:00 pm . Its really helpful a place to talk and express your loss and a place for them to listen. God bless.
Lopez says
I didn’t get the kids Christmas list and sizes. I left you my email, I know your family has a lot on their plate, but Christmas is coming up fast and we want to make sure that there is something under the tree.
tee says
God bless you guys! My heart goes out to this family. I pray you find strength and encouragement through many both, close to you and those you may encounter.
Amazing says
You brought tears to my eyes with your loving words and your willingness to help in such a traffic time. You are truly an angel. God bless you
To the family, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I will keep you all in my prayers
Dr. Miguel S. Coronado says
Over the years my organization Agents of Change has helped raise money for victims who have died in horrible car accidents. I would like to touch base with the family of Luis Padilla to start raising money for his funeral. This is a very difficult time for Mr. Padilla’s family and coming to gather as a community to help with the expenses would be greatly appreciate it.
If anyone knows the family, please have them contact me. Dr. Miguel S. Coronado (661) 466-6810 or agentsofchange13@gmail.com
Gaby says
I have informed Janeth which is the sister of Luis, she will be contacting you.
What a blessing you and your organization are going to be for the family. God bless the work you do.
Thank you!!!
Gina says
My deepest sympathies and condolences to family of the young man who passed yesterday to such a tragic and fatal accident. My heart goes out to you all. I pray that your hearts may heal and that you have the wonderful memories to help get you through this terrible tragedy. It is always a sad and gard loss when we lose someone we love. May God bless you and your family.
With that said please read past the negative feedback you will see on any articles of your family members accident. We the public have no idea who he was to you all. It’s sad to see that people feel.the need to place such hurtful and negative words when a family is suffering a sad loss. I too am guilty of being a “crazy driver” when I’m ruining late for work or trying to get my child to school. it’s not always but I have done it. I have seen the aftermath of accidents that have been from road rage, or a simple freak accident with slow speeds. It was an Accident plain and simple term. Accident. No need to point out any obvious wreck less driving behavior when a life has been taken. Again my deepest condolences to your family. I will pray for you all.
Daniel morones says
Im very touched by the people who are taking their time to write about this tradegy. I want to thank all that took their time and comment on this bulletin. That 25 year old man wasnt just a man, he was a son, a father, a husban, a cousin, a friend, a coworker but for me, he was my brother. To give everyone an update… He was rushing because he didnt want his wife to be late to work. He had barely gotten off work in la and rushed over to his home in lancaster so he can take his wife to work. My brother was the best. He always took care of his family and was very grateful and touched so many hearts in his time. He didnt deserve to go. Our mom had recently passed away from cancer so were overwhelmed, heart broken, sad, and emotionly and physically drained. For all those that were affected by the accident we would like to appoligize and if my brother was wearing his seatbelt, he would of said it himself. As we still havent gotten back up from my moms pasing, i would like to ask the public to help us with donations for the funeral seevices at https://www.gofundme.com/7mdt9c4k thank you and god bless
T. johnson says
First I want to say I am so sorry for you and your family’s loss. I know from experience what your family is going through. 6 years ago on December 13th i lost my husband in a car accident and then 6 months later i lost my mom. My heart goes out to his wife and children, and his family. People can judge him all they want they just have to remember that could be anyone speeding down the 14 freeway we are all quilty of it. I know i am. Your family is in my prayers.
Daniel morones says
Thank you. My prayers as well go out to you and your family. We feel a bit of comfort that not only we have our families support but also the publics. It sure is gonna be a tough holiday as we are gonna do the funeral services at the live oak memorial park in Monrovia, ca around noon on the 19th of this month were he will be put above my moms casket. Everyone is welomed to join us. As we are all a big family in this wolrd.
Ryan Hunt says
My condolences to family and friends. Each day lived by us is not a guarantee, it is a blessing. That’s why we are to live each moment to the fullest. For the human mind is never really employed in the present tense, recollection and anticipation fill our almost every thought…
someonewhoCares says
I am so sorry for your loss. God bless your family. I know your brother had to be a good man to be working and trying to raise 3 kids is hard enough as it is now a days. I feel so bad for his 3 babies that now will have to grow up without their daddy and right before christmas. I feel so bad for his wife that is hurting deeply over the loss of her partner. And i feel for you his sister his own flesh and blood. I feel bad that you not only loss your brother but u have to read such hurtful and insensitive comments that people who dont even know u or your brother have written. All i can say is what goes around comes back around. People should be careful how they speak of people. Especially a hard working father who’s kids will never see him again. A son who’s mom will never hear his voice again. My heart aches for this family and i pray that God will comfort you all at such a hard time like this. Only time will heal all wounds.. God bless you
Selina says
To everyone on here talking [removed] he is my family don’t talk [removed] about something u know nothing about keep ur [removed] comments to urself and I hope this never happens to u we r going to an immense pain he has a lil girl that will not have her daddy for Xmas just shut the [removed]
Candice says
I’m so sorry for your loss. Prayers are with your family. God bless you & may your brother rest in peace.
Darlene says
Wow people are so insensitive I’m really sorry for your loss my prayers to you and your family the rest of you if your so hateful and can’t say anything nice then shut the hell up for Christ sakes
Caitlin says
I am so sorry for your loss.
vonnie says
RIP, saw the aftermath this morning around 7:20am traveling southbound.
gina says
So sad rip young man and for the driver that stop may God keep you strong I know that had to be hard for you even if it wasn’t your fault
V says
So many hateful and judgmental comments. A life has been lost, have some compassion if not for the victim at least for their surviving family and friends. Some of you make me so glad I moved out of the AV.
Luis says
It’s funny that when a Honda is involved in a collision or causes an accident immediately it was excess of speed anyways rip for the man
ky says
I saw the aftermath to and I saw them covering him up it made me sad and tearful and I didn’t even know him. It is a life lost and that is sad no matter the circumstance. There are way to many people dying all over, who to say we are not next.
ky says
Who is to say he didn’t receive a family emergency and was rushing to get home….sometimes we just don’t know what the circumstances are and who is to say the witnesses are telling the truth. The poor guy is dead and is unable to tell us what really happened.
Lancaster commuter says
May he rest in peace he paid the ultimate price of a commuter. W antelope valley people drive a lot. We are bound to a higher rate of fatality. I’m 26 and commute also my heart goes out to his family. Sad to think he might have been minutes away from home.
Megan says
Aaron, know that your are loved and thought of by your friends and family.. This is a tragic accident that was not your fault. Remain strong and try not to dwelling on this.
Megan says
*dwell
Jessica says
So sad
Nate says
I saw the aftermath driving southbound about 7:45 am. Thought it was a motorcycle wreak because of how far the body was from the wreak. Sad that there is a family that lost a loved one so close to the holiday. Drive safe folks, wear your seat belts and remember that everybody driving beside you on the hwy has a life and a family that cares about them too. That extra 5 mins that you might save is not worth lossing your life over.
Just me says
Such mean, judgmental and hateful comments so much for a christian community you know that saying if you can’t say anything nice say nothing at all
Mike says
I wonder if he fell asleep as the wheel or had a seizure or was intoxicated
To Live Another Day says
THIS STATEMENT RIGHT HERE, IS WHAT PISSES ME OFF
He was driving northbound in a 2004 Honda “at a high rate of speed in the center divider,” the CHP report states, citing witness statements…
Do you see that, HIGH RATE OF SPEED. CENTER DIVIDER….
I have NO sympathy for him, you want to drive recklessly and irresponsibly,, Then be prepared to pay the consequences.. I am tierd of people in the AV thinking they drive any damn way the want, Not when you put innocent lives at risk..
I feel sorry for the persons who hit him, the trauma they will endure because of his stupidity..Possible children who could have witnessed this and people in the other cars watching this unfold in front of them, an image they cant Unsee… That’s who I have sympathy for..
People like him are why sooooooooooooooooooooo many other drives are road raging , and driving aggressively ,shooting at one another, following people .threatening them… Hitting pedestrians, and the pedestrians Jaywalking thinking , well they going to stop..UUUUMMMM Maybe not, tierd of every week, something about a person getting hit, a car flipping , to cars hitting head on… and its speed and sometimes alcohol involved,,
ALL OF YOU GET IT TOGETHER,
Kimber D says
I get how frustrating it is to drive next to crazy drivers. But this is a human non-the less. How about some respect for the dead. He was
Only 25. Who are you to decide who deserves to live or die?
Gowchong says
Kimber D…Not sure To Live Another Day was deciding who deserves to live or die, just making statements about what he observes during his drives on the 14 Speedway. I often see the same things, but hey…I’m not exactly innocent myself. And yah, it was a little harsh, but like you and me, he has the freedom to express himself however he wishes.
Em says
To Live Another Day- You must be one of those drivers that likes to brake check, idiot. Shut your ignorant mouth up. Rude.
Alex Gracia says
no need for your sympathetic comment. Take your rude comment elsewhere I’m sure your busy trolling on Facebook as well.. I’m sure you’ll say the same thing when its your family or friend on the scene
Frank says
100% agree! The way people are driving out in the AV lately is a damn joke! It has gotten 10 times worse! I see people blowing through red lights and speeding BEYOND the speed limits EVERYDAY!!!! Good thing he didn’t take anyone with [removed]!
v says
your an ignorant piece of [removed].. lets see how u die one day ppl will say the same! all u know is what was reported u never really know what happened and its wrong of u to judge someone the way u just did that makes u an [removed]!
mad says
Driving in the AV is NO different than anywhere else…..sadly there are hundreds of people who die every day from careless driving and car accidents.
Tim Scott says
I think it is a little bit different. AV drivers get a lot more wide open road, so they get more accustomed to higher speeds than people who do almost all of their driving down below. When friends come up they often comment on how it seems like people consistently drive faster here.
Jenny says
Not sure if speed was a factor here, but speed limit is 80 mph in other states, didn’t witness any accidents while traveling. Distractions are usually the culprit.
Really?! says
Really!?!
I totally get your frustration with the reckless & inattentive drivers, but how do you know this person did this on purpose?
Maybe he was tired after a long night at work and passed out at the wheel. Maybe he had a seizure. Low blood sugar, etc. Maybe a number of things that could’ve happened, out of the drivers control did happen.
Who knows?
But to say you have “No sympathy” without actually knowing what happened is pretty absurd.
Gaby says
-Thank you Kimber D!!!
-To Live Another Day I pray to God that this does not happen to one of your family members but if it does I hope you condemn them for their actions as well. I want you to say well mom, dad, cousin or what ever loved one it is well you deserved this! These are the consequences of your actions. I am sure you won’t feel the same way and dare to correct me if I am wrong!!! I am fully conscious and agree that speeding is not right but what dumb person thinks that death is the price to pay. Overall if you don’t have anything nice to say then simply keep your mouth closed. I hate ignorant opinions like yours. In the end there are a lot of people mourning his loss and they certainly don’t need this type of negativity.
R.I.P Louie!!! You will forever live in our hearts.
Pepper says
Absolutely!
Sick of the drive!!! says
I agree with you 100%!. I do this damn drive everyday and am constantly harassed by other drivers. I am already speeding and it’s still not good enough for some of these morons who have no regard for the safety of other drivers around them. These idiots drive like they’re invincible. I’m sorry…no sympathy from me. If people are going to drive with complete disregard for the rules of the road, they need to have their driver’s license revoked until they can straighten up behind the wheel. These stupid drivers are also the reason why our insurance rates are sky high. I’d also like to add that in the last two years of doing this damn drive, I have never once seen a CHP cruiser patrolling anywhere when I’m on the 14 or Sierra highway.
And by the way EM…I am one of those drivers that brake checks. I’m already speeding and if you’re going to ride my bumper, you better believe you’re gonna get brake checked! What? We’re supposed to drive like madman because you got a late start? SHOULD’VE LEFT EARLIER!!! – idiot!
Dee says
Thank you! Just had a horrible experience today with a reckless driver on Sierra highway and we almost went head on with another car! We need more highway patrols.
George M says
May others be as insensitive when you loose a loved one, I hope tomorrow a truck looses it’s brakes, and smashed you. Don’t want you to die, but broken beyond repair, then you can watch me write about how I have no sympathy for you, you heartless beast. I hope your nonsense made you feel bigger and better, coz you’re no different than the man who’s no longer here.
Chris says
seriously? you must be blind – the 14 is one of the heaviest CHP patrolled freeways in my experience. During peak hours I used to see a car pulled over every single day of my commute.
Anon says
Dude you’re seriously ridiculous, you don’t think that 65mph is technically not a “high rate of speed”, also are you telling me if your wife was going into labor you wouldn’t drive a little faster than the limit? Just an example of a reason someone might speed up a little. It really could’ve been anything, you don’t know why he may have been speeding but you’re a scumbag for even saying anything people like you should just keep your mouth shut. You ever heard of thinking before speaking? Have some empathy..
Janeth says
How sad that you make comments based on only things you read! You clearly don’t have the full story behind it, this is my brother who passed away. Yes he might have been speeding only because he works night shift & he was tired and on his way home to Lancaster from la. He had to be home before 6 because his wife had to leave to work aswell. I know that’s not so responsible but he was a very hard working father and husband. People here talking [removed] out of their ass! But he left behind 3 kids imagine how his kids feel knowing that all he was trying to do is get home after working hard to provide for them.
To Live Another Day says
One I am not talking out my ASS, this is the problem WE all got lucky that no one else died in this accident other than him. Might sound mean, but thats the fact, I was on that freeway when it happen. I COULD HAVE DIED, THE PEOPLE NEXT TO ME , IN FRONT OF ME BEHIND ME COULD HAVE DIED and why ,cause he was SPEEDING AND DRIVING ILLEGALLY ON THE CENTER DIVIDER, trying to get home so WIFEY can get to work on time ,there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR HIM TO DRIVE THE WAY HE DID, better to be late to work , than to leave your children with no father and a wife a Widow…..
AND TO ALL OF YOU TALKING YOUR SMACK ABOUT BEING INSENSITIVE AND HAVE SOME RESPECT AND BEING IGNORANT…
COME TALK TO ME WHEN SOMEONE LIKE THIS , KILLS YOUR DAUGHTER MOTHER , FATHER, SON, WIFE, HUSBAND…. AND SEE HOW UNDERSTANDING YOU ARE..
I wont keep my mouth shut and comments are not ignorant , its facts and honesty . cant handle it DONT READ IT, SCROLL TO THE NEXT COMMENT..
George M says
I truly hope that one day, in your commute, while acting holier than thou, you have a tire blow out and flip several times, then we can all call you a stupid driver, and say it’s not ignorance, but the truth. You sicken me. Not to mention that when you flip over, you hurt others not involved. Should we give you different treatment at that time? After all, according to you, it’ll all be the truth. Be gone, no one needs you around coz you’re obviously better than everyone. If you don’t like my opinion, scroll turkey
Indisbelief says
What you are wishing upon this other person is just as bad as how cruel and insensetive their comments are in the wake of this truly tragic event. I am so saddened by the hate and anger thus is bringing. What you wish upon others is what you wish upon yourself. I pray for peace, wisdom and discernment for all involved both directly and indirectly. Not one single one of us have never made a mistake. Be kind and exercise forgiveness. RIP young man….. to his family, may God comfort you in this time of deep sorrow.
Really?! says
REALLY!?!
Sure driving on the road divider is “illegal”, but if this man passed out at the wheel HE WASN’T DOING IT ON PURPOSE!! HE WAS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL!
Yes perhaps he should’ve been rested before he drove home, but you seem to be missing the point that he may not have been doing it on purpose. If he was asleep the vehicle went out of his “control”.
I am not talking about your “insensitivity or lack of respect” either. I am talking about your ability to see that the only thing this guy did wrong as far as we know so far, is POSSIBLY drove home tired.
I could careless about your lack of sympathy.
Arely says
You all DONT know whats it like to loose a love one you can all judge and say your opinion but when its ur own blood out there being hurt it can be hard to judge. Who wants a love one to die???? Who said me??? Who wants a brother to never hug u for the last time??? Who wants to burry your own blood and know u never got to say good bye???? Till this day i dont know anyone who wishes was in our shoes. For all u out there behind these websites enjoy ur love ones bcuz the minute u won’t u will forever know how painful it is to have to say good bye for ever…
Bart says
To Live another day:
You are talking out of your ass! You are a tiny little man, with no power or control over your life. You think typing behind the safety of a computer screen makes you powerful. You are nothing and you know it. You want to make a difference, go be a cop. But you can’t. Because you are nothing. You are an ignorant little man, who harasses the families of deceased individuals. The above comment is actually from his sister. It disgusts me that men like you actually exist. You want to feel like a big man picking on women? Meet me somewhere and I’ll put you in your place! You want to be tough on the internet? Try being though in the real world! If not then shut your stupid mouth. You little tiny insignificant coward!
AVMOM says
Ok so I’m coming to talk to you… My brother was the passenger that died on Avenue G and Challenger two years ago in September when a car full of kids ran the stop sign and he left a wife and 3 sons and 2 grandsons. We did not talk crap to the other family because we are know one to judge. We left that to God, and my family bless the fathers and mothers of the other family because we knew that they where hurting as well. It didn’t make me feel better to point the finger. It was on Gods time. I hope that God fills your heart with mercy and compassion.
Selina says
I love u my family dont let these ignorant people get to u we know the true story
R.8A says
I’m sorry for you and your family’s loss. May his wife and children be blessed.I was in my way to work and I caught a glimpse of the incident. May your brother rest in peace.
someonewhoCares says
I am so sorry that you loss your brother. I know a part of your world is missing. There are some really nasty people out there. What a shame that a brother, father, husband, son is lost and people only look for the negative. What about his kids that are going to miss their daddy? What about his wife that has to tell her 3 babies that daddy is not coming home? What about his mom that can never hear her sons voice? And what about his sister that not only hurts but has to protect her brother’s reputation from evil people who are heartless? I am so sad right now for this family and i dont even know them. Where is the sympathy, next time dont be so quick to judge because everyone has a story
amber says
Peace be with the family, so tragic and heartbreaking.
Chris says
My condolences. I would just like to add that I am guessing it had to be an instance of him falling asleep, which we have all been close to or done before while driving. I drive this freeway every weekday at this time… this accident happened literally moments after I passed by the same area on Monday. The reason I say it was falling asleep is because there would be no need for someone to be deliberately driving near the center divider or in the left shoulder to avoid heavy traffic – because there is never heavy traffic! The northbound side of this freeway is always wide open at this hour, with everyone travelling 75+ mph. Very sorry for your loss.
Chris says
My condolences. I find it hard to believe he was deliberating speeding in/near the center divider shoulder (as in to go around traffic) simply because I’ve always seen very little traffic on the NB side at this time. I drive it every morning and everyone regularly goes 75+ mph. We all have been there where we’re tired or even dozed off for a second. Very sorry for your loss.
B says
Feel like a big man now? Picking of a recently deseased man? A man with a family, loved ones who are mourning and crying now. You feel better? Posting insensitive comments, behind the safety of a computer screen. You have an opinion, something you want to voice out and change? Do it somewhere else! This is an incredibly sad time for the family! And Iknow personally that the family read this.
Yana says
I guess you are saint, the only one on our Earth. Of course, to saint person like you nothing will never happen.
Kaitlyn says
It hurts to read this comment and see that this person has no regard of the life lost and what his family is going through. Just because he may have been speeding doesn’t mean that he deserved to die. RIP
Tm says
Are u serious…Speeding or not…car accidents happen… Death happens…I have great sympathy for him and his family..not the people that witnessed it..Thank God everyone else is OK..but I am sure these children you say witnessed it are witnessing a whole bunch more alfulness going on in this world…terrorism….physical abuse….etc…so stop being an ass and get your head out of it
N DeBinion says
Nicely said…
Kaitlyn says
I agree
Yolanda says
He was on a freeway is anyone not going fast on a freeway? And he just got out of a graveyard shift but had to rush home to his daughter, a father of three working hard just trying to get home. This is a sad loss and you need to stop judging when you don’t know anything. Until it happens to you stfu.
Lenore says
Anyone with a license has at one point been in a hurry to get some where and in the process surpassed the designated speed limit. I am sure you have cut someone off, ran a red light as it changed to quickly, texted while driving, had a delayed start when the traffic light turned green. All poor choices and all made by humans who make mistakes.My point is people sometimes act with no intention of hurting themselves or someone else. Much like your above insensitive comment. I hear this young man leaves behind a family. A child or spouse currently grieving would not find your words comforting. What did they do to deserve such cruelty? What makes you think you are any better? This young man was driving fast with no intention of hurting anyone. Sure we can all agree not the best choice but I doubt his intention was to hurt anyone. Does a smoker smoke in public to inflict cancer on you? You however took the time to read the article, form an opinion, proceed to share your opinion with no sensitivity what so ever. You had to know that the families made read this, who are in fact the victims of this incident- you know the children and wife who lost their father and spouse. The mother and father and siblings who lost a son, and brother they are the victims. You chose to post your insensitive comment for them to view. Knowing it was a possibility. Keyword KNOWING, which is cruelty of another form. So while he drove at a high rate of speed with no intention of hurting anyone, you CHOSE to be insensitive and you chose to hurt someone. So I say to you ” to live another day” YOU GET IT TOGETHER. Trying being compassionate.

Wow. The guy that was driving tht honda was my brother. If u have negative comments about it please keep them to yourself. I bet it if that was your son or a family member you wouldnt say the same thing about him or her. Yea he was speeding and all but the investigators called us and told us that it was a hit and run. It wasnt my brothers fault. So have some fkn respect. And for all that opened ur hearts and took the time to say good things, thank you and all of your posts relly touched our hearts.

Wow, I have sympathy for you “To Live Another Day”. You sound like an angry miserable person. Fact is you have no common decency for the people that will be reading your unnecessary post, the last thing the loved ones of this young man need is your angry opinion about something you do not even know any of the facts about, and even if you had the facts and your ranting was maybe in your mind a legitimate concern, this would not be the time to comment and in the manner you have. I mean really, to live another day, be kind , have a heart, these poor people are going through enough.
