Damn, you guys. My dad called me about half an hour ago to tell me that my uncle was killed in a car crash today. Turns out, he caused it; he had Alzheimer disease and shouldn't have been driving and he crossed the median and hit 2 other cars. One other person died and 3 others were hospitalized, but their injuries weren't life-threatening.
It was on the news -- or, at least, footage of the vehicles after the crash was -- and it looks really horrible. I hope that he and the other driver died instantly. It's so awful.
He was my last uncle on my dad's side. He was a really good man for as long as I knew him.
I can't even really process this, to tell you the truth. I'm pretty much numb. My dad sounded the same way. Or, actually, he just sounded matter-of-fact. He only has one sibling left now.
