He was riding in the back of an 87 Mustang There were 3 other Boys in the car with him. OHP estimated their speed at 65 they were on an interstate with a 70MPH limit on there way to meet with a Marine Recruiter. The boys were all wearing seat belts but all 4 were still ejected, The car rolled 8 to 10 times. 2 Boys were LifeFlighted with Critical Head and Trunk Injuries 1 had Severe Pelvic Injuries, They will all recover. My son was Killed Instantly and was in such bad shape we were only allowed to see His left hand from the wrist down.( Try to Live with That. )
The 22 Year old Idiot that Murdered him was in a 2006 Nissan Sentra.
He is being Charged with Pre Meditated Murder due to his excess speed and the fact that there was an open lane that he could have taken, Instead he hit the Boys directly from behind at an estimated 115 with no indication that he tried to stop. He also had previous Tickets for speeding 16 to 20 over.
Laws vary by state with reguard to charges when speed is so excessive after a certain point it is no longer considred an accident but Murder.
Just please be careful and Think of your Mother and Father when you choose to drive like this on Public streets. I know our lives have been totally destroyed by the actions of this guys choice to drive like this.
Take a look at whats left of the Mustang:
