Troopers are still investigating but a preliminary investigation reveals alcohol was a factor in the accident. I think that's a safe bet.

Having worked for years in a big city ER I can confirm the validity of the lesson that most parents taught their kids:
Nothing good happens at 1AM (or 4AM).
To: BenLurkin
Sorry this happened. I was in Fire Service for years and “Neither were using a seat belt” would just drive us nuts at PI accidents.

A two-generation Darwin Award candidate? Not only was the father removed from the gene pool spectacularly, but so was the son.
I'm just sorry for the family of these two doofuses.

I have only had two accidents ever. One, a girl tailgating me ran in to the back of my truck. Two years later, I was sideswiped by the same car this time driven by her father on the same road. What are the odds?

After 4 AM. Neither driver wearing seatbelts. I would bet the BAC of both drivers was probably five times the legal limit.

Drinking, not wearing seat belts and bad driving.

I am always in awe of our first responders who deal with such horrific scenes. I don’t know how they can handle it. I’d be traumatized & useless. I thank God for these gifted, heroic people.

Ditto, FES! I don’t know how they can deal with it, mentally. I’d be a basket case. God bless them.
