It is sad. My daughter was driving right behind the car that occupied the deceased man. She said it was horrific. My prayers go out to his family.
I have known Jason and his family for a long time and he was such an amazing guy this is the biggest loss ever truly an amazing person. Sabrina if u can email me brian@expertcharting.com I would appreciate that if your daughter has any info on what happen exactly thank you.
Sabrina,
Did your daughter talk to the police, if not, here is the number. 951-696-3000. Please respond and let us know if she gave her eye witness account.
Thank you.
I’m assuming the deceased was on his way to work. The other driver was the one drinking. Can anyone confirm?
I was the car behind the collision, who called it in to dispatch right when it happened. I’ve given my account to the responding officers and to others involved in the investigation. My thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends, it was truly a heartbreaking experience to witness and I wish somehow I could have just kept it from happening. It all happened so fast.. I’m so sorry for your loss
yes APFor3, the deceased was on his way to work. This young man was married to my husband’s cousin. It is truly a tragedy. This young couple would have celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary next month. All their hope and dreams were taken away by this sorry excuse for a human being! This angers me greatly. The family is very strong Christians and with the help of our almighty God, they will get through this. It just will take a long time.
Jason worked at the golf course I play here in Newberg, OR. I’m familiar with him and consider him a friend. This is terrible and my heart goes out to Heather and all of their families.
Any news on the other driver? Does anyone know who it was?
