Just in case you needed even more of a reason to hate idiots who think they can still drive after having a few drinks:Link 1 Link 2 Brian R. Wood, lead designer of Company of Heroes Online and a key player in the development of the series as a whole, was tragically killed on Friday night in an automobile accident north of Seattle.Wood was behind the wheel of his Subaru Outback, with his wife Erin a passenger, when they were struck head-on by a Chevy Blazer driven by 21 year-old Jordyn B. Weichert. Two passengers in Weichert's car were killed, while it's alleged that the young driver was also under the influence of drugs at the time of the accident. The Washington State Patrol say Weichert could be charged with vehicular homicide and vehicular assault once she is released from hospital, while another passenger in her car, 22 year-old Samantha R. Bowling, may also be charged with vehicular homicide. Wood was 33. His wife, six months pregnant, is 'hospitalized but in improving condition'.kotakuAnd from the second article:According to the spokesperson, the crash was triggered when Weichert decided to take off her sweater or jacket as she was driving north along the two-lane highway. The remains of the crashed Blazer at the scene.Weichert's front-seat passenger, Samantha R. Bowling, 22, of Oak Harbor, held the steering wheel while Weichert removed the article of clothing, the State Patrol said.Why is it that in these crashes the drunk driver is ALWAYS the one that lives (in this case both of them) while everyone else either dies or gets seriously ****ed up? At least both of these idiots will have to live the rest of their lives not only with several vehicular homocide convictions but also with the guilt that they killed (who I assume were) their boyfriends, killed a respected game developer, and left a woman having to raise a child (who will never know their father) by herself (assuming of course that she doesn't miscarry).
