sunday night around 2 am a van sped down a road called brower near my house. this van excellerated to 115 mph as it reach "the lost bridge" as it passed the bridge the heavily intoxicated driver lost control of the vehicle. the van slammed into a guard rail launching one passenger, Mark Cox, into a revine, he was only slightly injured. This is what he whitnessed after landing.
After the van hit the guard rail it ricocheted off and proceded to flip 17 times launching Thomas Coin and Whitney Loose out of the windows and then toppled over them. the other passengers including Shane King, Brittany Bowman, and the driver, Brandon Martini, were trown out right before the van colided with a telephone poll shattering the van like glass. Mark then ran over to Whitney, who was alive but bleeding profusly, and gave her CPR for 2 strait hours till paramedics had arrived with air care. Whitney died shortly after at 4:22 am monday morning. Shane limped away from the crash with minor injuries. Brittany recieved 217 stitches in her face and is forced to wear a neck brace. Tommy was taken to the hospital in critical condition with only a 10% chance of living. Both Tommy and Whitney have small children. The diver fled the scene of the crash and ran 6 miles to the cleves BP wher he told cops his car was stolen and he had no idea there was a crash. all the people involved were close friends of mine. i spent all monday helping clean up the scene. a camera was found with whitney's belongings. whwen the film was developed a picture was dicovered of Brandon Driving with his hands off the wheel on brower road. the speedomiter was vissible, they were doing 90, no hands on the wheel, not looking at the road. tommy is stablising and by the grace of god should recover. my cousin chad who is one of Tommy's closest friends carried a 4 foot wooden cross 8 miles to the scene of the crash. Everyone invloved in the crash was drunk except Whitney. She was the only one who did not survive. Please DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. YOU ARE NOT AN EXPERT. I DONT CARE WHO YOU ARE. LIVES ARE AT RISK!!!
my hearts go out to the families
i love you whit
you'll always be my angel
