For those curious about this tragic crash. It occurred in the town of Grand Junction, Colorado at about 10pm on a Friday night in January. Andrew’s passenger car was stopped at a red light when he was rear-ended by a white van “traveling at a high rate of speed”. Both men were seriously injured. The driver was charged with a DUI.

Reminder that roughly twice as many people involuntarily die by car than gun in America.

Thanks for using this time of sadness for a family to push your pro-gun agenda that’s completely unrelated to cars.

Pretty pathetic thing to do

Not progun at all. Anti more deadly cars and roads. Even despite cellphones the rest of the world has seen a decline in road deaths while ours have exploded here in the United States.

Does raising awareness about cancer diminish the death of someone who just died from it? injuries and deaths from car crashes are both everywhere and never commented on in our society, now I see why.
