Cody Holmes not Cory Holmes

Appears he was rushing to hospital bc a family member was in ER? Alcohol suspected but not confirmed

Had no business driving like that endangering the lives of others regardless of if a family member was in ER or not

reading those comments makes me shake my head

He must have been flat out flying, and passing on the shoulder? sigh. I was coming home and passed the area. I've never seen a more bizarre wreck scene.

I did too. I started freaking out because I had just woke from a 6hr nap but I had been drinking before the nap... but then I remembered someone telling me about the wreck. So so sad. I can't imagine how loud it likely was.

Let's review the comments on the article:

Disclaimer: I hate when people defend dumbasses like this... if it comes out this guy was really drunk they'll feel pretty dumb..

quote:

They were on the way to the hospital to see my 1yr old granddaughter who was rushed by ambulance to the hospital unresponsive. He was not drunk or trying to be a show off. He was panicking. He was a very good guy.


quote:

Some of you ppl are so cruel I know the guy that passed!!! And he was a great young guy!! So keep the rude comments to yourself!!! And just pray for his family for the ruff time they will have to go through!!!


quote:

For your info Brandon he was rushing a child to the hospital so stop running your mouth! I knew this dude myself for a long time so how stupid u feel!!


quote:

Cody was rushing to get to the hospital. His best friends 1 year old daughter was unresponsive and being rushed to the ER! People are so quick to judge. I love you Cody sooooo much. Im gonna miss you my buddy.

and from the wbrz article:
quote:

The driver of the car that flipped over the I-10 guardrail has been identified. Police say he was killed, and two others were injured including a 2-year-old. Alcohol is suspected.

You've got friends of his on there whining that he wasn't drunk he was on the way to the emergency room for his goddaughter.

Alcohol is suspected by many because it was such a dumb and reckless accident.

If true I could understand wanting to be there to support your friend but not at the risk of your life and others in the car and innocent people around you.

Seriously they put crime scene tape around an area bigger than a football field.

The truck he was driving was flattened.

I'm surprised the passengers survived, honestly.

Yea the crime scene tape didn't jump out at me over all the flashing lights. I'm dumb for suspecting a checkpoint I guess.

update: apparently the little girl suffered severe broken bones... She has been paralyzed since the accident but recently started getting feeling back in some areas. She has a long road to recovery from what I have been told
