Well these photos are of my sister Shellys house when the tree next door broke off and hit the house. Got pretty lucky as it just barely missed the camper that was on the side of the house. Was really happy about that but it sure looked scarey when seen it because you couldnt even see the popup under the branches.
Joe and his friend David got to go in one of the planes and got some photos from inside. They were very dark as no flash so really cant see all that much from inside but you can see the outside and such.
Chris Stowers was a young man that we knew for quite awhile. He was trying to get his life turned around and get on the up and up. He had just been promoted to Dealer at the Casino Boat when he turned 21 which was 2 days after he was killed in this car wreck.
His dad had bought him his paint for his car which was his whole world. He wanted to fix his Eclipse up to where he could take it and show it at car shows. We had washed it down and was setting up the paint booth to spray it but, he just was to excited to wait for it to air dry so he decided to drive it around the block.
He never made it back.
A friend of ours Bryan rode with him as he wanted to show him his stereo he had in it I believe. We were waiting for them to come back when we seen the police cars go flying by. We all were like oh no did Chris get caught speeding or something? Then our phone rang. Joe and Erik were outside and it was Eriks phone that had rang. Bryan had called from the car. They were in a wreck he was trapped and he said Chris was unconscious. Joe and Erik were first on the scene and was able to get Brians cell and keys so they could get his car. They raced over to Bryans house to get his parents as Bryan was being stat flighted out. They finally was able to get ahold of Brians step dad which it took them awhile to get it to sink in that Bryan was ok that he was in an accident. Bryan was lucky to make it out alive. He broke his femur in his leg and had to have surgery but all in all was very lucky. I dont know how he got out of that car but we are very thankful he did.
I was at the bottom of the hill as the police wouldn’t let anyone go up the hill. It was awhile later that we found out that Chris had been killed. Sad part was they announced it on the news just a few minutes after they had told the family. Chris was killed by a drunk driver driving on the wrong side of the road, yet they wrote it up as Chris’s fault. They refuse to change it even after the family hired in an investigator to prove that Chris was on the RIGHT side of the road.
The car club lead the funeral even ahead of the Hurst as they wouldn’t let us carry him as his dad wanted in the back of our dedication truck that we wanted to build for him.
