That's just awful to hear.

It's really unfortunate that the second brother rode in the state of mind he was in, I'm sure his only thoughts were getting to the scene as fast as he could.

Really tragic situation.

man that sucks! We rolled up on a accident last night. Firdt glimpse was a bunch of rockets and a truck in the middle of an intersection. Rae was like "o no! " Turns out they missed the entire wreck and it was the truck running the redlight and t-boning a car. Whew! no major injuries!

I can't imagine what that family must be going through. Very unfortunate.

I'm really sorry to hear that, I can't imagine the feelings that their parents must be experiencing. I understand the feeling of the brother that was speeding towards the accident scene, but there's a definite lesson to learn for us all.

A 'brother' of my own was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident last weekend when he lost control of his motorcycle on his way to sturgis. He is a fellow firefighter than runs with my company. Luckily, his injuries will heal and he will be okay.

RIDE SAFE EVERYONE!

To loose 1 is heartbreak, but 2, 2 hours apart is unbelievable.
