We certainly regret to see such a tragic crash. Any time a driver loses their life in a crash, there is a great feeling of sadness and emptiness experienced by those close to the victim. In this case, two young people were killed and another child was injured. As tragic as any fatal accident is, they are made even worse when children are killed. Our condolences are with the victim's families in this situation.
