My cousin who is shown in the pictures was the PASSENGER, not the driver, there was 2 people in that car. The driver who is his friend is suffering from a lot of damage, I won’t go into details about his injuries out of respect for his family but there was nothing minor about it and he is in pretty critical condition. But his vitals are stable and were hopeful and will know more later after more tests are done but as of now he is non responsive. Both the driver and passenger had been up since 5AM and commuted from Oakdale to Dublin and worked a 10 hour day at Big O’s with only an hour break and then had to commute back to Oakdale to be ready for work the next day. My cousin is probably only alive because he was starting to go to sleep and didnt have his seat belt on which made it possible for him to get down into a ball when he woke up to the car starting to spin. Please pray for everyone involved.
