Default Lost my little brother this past Thursday

Well, I laid my brother down for the long sleep yesterday. My little brother at the ripe old age of 20 was taken in a head on collision early Thursday morning. He was driving his '01 Mustang Northbound I-275 in Tampa, just south of the major I4 I275 interchange. A 22 year old was driving Southbound in the Northbound lanes (presumably drunk, blood sample comes back in the near future) in his 2012 Fusion. Presumably, they hit head-on at at least the equivalent of 100mph (my assumption, posted speed limit is 55mph). My brother was killed on impact. His friend riding shotgun has a shattered left arm and broken right angle among other things. His friend in the rear seat suffered a broken neck and fractured femur and other injuries.

Please pray for my brother and his friends Robert and Jay. No parent should ever have to see their child in this much pain and no parent should have to bury their own son.

The driver (Mr. Ponce), has 10 prior citations, two of which were a DUI in 2009 and another arrest for driving with a suspended license in 2011.

Very sorry to hear that. This is why people should not drive while drinking! What happened to the drunk kids?

What a little puss, all he got was house arrest for murder and he cant even handle it.

Its kinda good that he absconded from house arrest , cause now when they catch his little *** he will serve some real time.
