Amen! Almost every wreck where people are killed, they aren’t wearing their seatbelt.

We’re sorry you feel that we posted this information before families were notified, but we have to believe that to be an unfounded accusation as we posted the story nearly 7 hours after the accident and after state troopers notified all media outlets. The Troopers’ office never releases information before families are notified.

I would suggest talking to your family about this. Cause somehow everyone else knew but you…

They did the same thing 12/6/2014 when my brother and sister in law were killed on 459 at 230am. They have 7 kids, only a few knew when it was announced here. My mom didnt know either 🙁

And, YES the troopers will assume the family has been notified. In our case, only one of the 7 kids were told. The troopers called and personally apologized.
