Oh man :/
I passed it on my way back, saw a whole group of people doing CPR before ER crews started arriving. Awful.

I saw the same thing; passed by just as the first deputy was arriving. Knew it was a bad deal immediately.

Nice man, nice family. Prayers to them all.
To clear up any confusion, he was better known as Bob. And the minivan was white, not maroon - as shown in the photo.

Cheeseburger, you are so right. Bob was a very sweet man & comes from a wonderful family. I worked at the Baldwin Junction gas station for awhile back about 13 yrs ago & had the pleasure of conversating with him daily. This is so sad to hear. My prayers go out to the family.

Sorry I wasn't clearer. I should have said 'the minivan was white, as shown in the photo, not maroon as stated in the article.'
