  1. 2 lives over and thousands in grief.

  2. John Chan says:

    Probably why he ran to avoid the dui charge

    • Eric Baker says:

      Exactly why. Then they can’t prove it.

    • Eric Baker they are charging him with DUI, they can prove it! They just need witnesses/proof that he was drinking too much before the accident.

    • Eric Baker says:

      Penni Innerarity Kern, What I meant is why they run. So they can avoid being busted on DUI. Many times, they get caught later, but they can’t get stuck with DUI, since it’s out of their system by then. I’ve seen it happen countless times. It’s very hard to prove it after the fact. Very rarely, will it actually stick when they are judged.

  3. Sonia Oviedo Oscar Niño

  4. This is just so sad

  5. Shocking ?
    So sad…

  6. I hope that dam kid gets locked away for life!!! He ripped a family apart and has ruined their whole world forever!!

  8. Shannon Peterson Borger only 16 years!!!???

  9. Shirley says:
