Thank you everybody. Ironically, it happened around the same time I was driving home from the hotel. IIRC, I was passing the exact area and vaguely remember hearing sirens. I just talked to his parents, and as much as I hurt, they are completely torn apart.
I hate this. I. hate. this. Why do teenagers think they are indestructible? He was tempting fate from the start: driving after midnight on a restricted license, left the house without his parent's knowledge, and speeding on wet roads. Now a lot of people are grieving because consequences are the last thing a 17 year-old thinks of. I'm angry, not because of what he did, but because we'll never get to see the kind of person he'd become. Even with this sense of invincibility, he was a good kid who was going to turn out just fine.
Bleh, I know this doesn't make any sense, but I'm all over the place right now. Thanks for listening.
{{{Maria}}} peace and strength to you, the BF and the family. I'm so sorry.
{{{Maria}}} I'm so sorry, for both you, him, and everyone he was connected to.
God, I was just on the phone with my seventeen-year-old brother, talking about his future and what he wanted to do with his life. I don't even want to imagine having his life cut short like that.

{{{Maria}}} Much -ma to you and to everyone who knew him.
Dinner with Buffistas, it's grand!
When does Prom start and will there be NDCam?
Maria, I just read about your tragedy in Beep Me, and I just wanted to add my condolences.
There won't be an ND cam, we don't have broadband in the Hospitaly Suite. Sorry!
Maria, I'm so sorry to hear about this tragedy.
Nothing to do but this, I think. {{{{{{{{Maria }}}}}}}}}}}

That's too bad. Post lots of pictures from Prom if you can.
