I was one of the few people to stop and help along with my sister Susan. We are so very sorry for the young men that were hurt in this tragic accident. We pray that the men and young boys will be well, hopefully soon. We were the sisters who fetch the parents on Colvin road. You all are in my prayers and I hope you all are finding some peace in this terrible situation. God bless you, Tina
