This happened in my town yesterday, I am very good friends with one of them, one I have known for years, and the other I did not know.
Yesterday at 5pm my good friend Casey Trotter was leaving the Carmel skatepark with his girlfriend Lilly who I have known for years, and her friend Sara. Upon leaving there is a windy road that takes you out to Westfield blvd, this is where their Jeep left the road and Lilly over corrected and the car flipped 3 times. All three people were ejected from the car and Lilly passed away at the scene. None of them were wearing seatbelts. This should be a lesson to everyone to wear your seatbelt because it doesn't take a high speed crash for a vehicle to roll over and for you or someone you are close to, to be fatally injured.
This incident hit me real hard, because I have known the Martyn (Lilly) family since I was in kindergarten, and I skated with Casey earlier yesterday and it never even crossed my mind that that could have very well been the last time that I saw my friend. At this moment Casey and Sara are at Methodist Hospital in stable condition should be okay. Sara is a bit more banged up than casey, but should be alright.
