Yeah that's awful and once again, people under the influence driving take another life. Come on people, I don't like seeing things like this, don't drink and drive nor do drugs and drive, it's not the most complicated thing in the world. Also why the hell isn't Kotaku delaying their story about GT5's car damage though? Seems kind of disrespectful. Edit: Never mind, they stuck a story about hair and FF in between them now. Guess it's better than the situation it was.
The one thing that makes me pissed off about it, was that the what was going on in the other people's car was she wanted to take her jacket off, so her friend in the passenger seat took the wheel. It's stupid shit like that that makes me lose faith in humanity. But damn, RIP dude.
What a dumbass move, what the fuck was that trying to let the drunk passenger take the steering wheel, let alone pulling a DUI on a fucking highway? They could have pulled over; highway 20 is a only two lane road with enough embankment space for the car to easily pull over.
My condolences to Mr. Wood and his family, and to the staff at Relic entertainment, as well as to the two passengers in the SUV who died. What a tragedy when a person's life as promising as his was taken away so horribly. I hope his pregnant wife recovers soon.
It's frustrating how often this sort of thing happens around Seattle. It doesn't seem like a month goes by without at least one news report of some dumbass driving into oncoming traffic on the freeway and hurting someone.
Wow, how fucking stupid can humanity get. The fact that his wife is pregnant with his child and Brian will never see him is just insult to injury. RIP Brian and my condolences go to his family.
Horrible news, I hope his wife and child turn out okay, and I hope the bitch that hit them gets punished severely. A shame this happened on Whidbey Island too, it's usually really quiet and nice.
Crashing after drunk driving is not an accident. "
Yes it its, I'm not trying to defend drunk drivers, but I strongly doubt that crashing and killing several people was the intent of the driver in this situation. It is a very stupid, easily preventable accident.
OT: A real shame what happened, things like this always brings me down.
This is terrible. I feel bad for his wife, it must be very emotional for her as she is going to go through the birth of their child without him.
Edit: I just read the whole story and I find it amazing that he saved his wife and child's life by turning to the right and taking the impact. Truly a courageous act. And the drivers of the other vehicle were apparently under the influence of drugs. I'm not sure what drugs these were but I'd like to think this changes the minds of people who say want marijuana or other "soft drugs" to be legalized. Yes you may be able to use it responsibly but other jackasses like the driver's of the other vehicle would abuse them so much.
Dood is a fucking hero because of the actions he took to protect the things most important to him in life. Unfortunately, it cost him his own life, which is all too tragic. My condolences to the family, his friends, and his colleagues.
Yeha, as I said in the other thread for this, Brian Wood sounds like a huge badass and went out in a ridiculously heroic fashion. In addition to being a tragedy, it's just a damn shame that the reason was something as stupid and avoidable as being under-the-influence while driving.
Condolences out to the Wood family, and I hope that the child leaves a long and happy life.
