BRIAN, JUST A YOUNG LIFE TAKEN WAY TOO SOON. VERY TRAGIC. ASHLEIGH, THIS IS A VERY BUSY CROSSING FOR STUDENTS RIGHT HERE. THIS IS JEFFREY’S AUBURN AND UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY RUNS RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF THE CAMPUS AND SO DID WHAT HAPPENED HERE. AT THE CORNER WHERE THE STUDENTS WERE HIT. THE ECHOES OF THE TRAGEDY ARE STILL RINGING LOUDLY. IT’S LIKE THIS IS A REGULAR WALK FOR US. AND IT’S JUST WAS VERY LIKE EYE OPENING. LIKE, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. YOU SEE STUDENTS, MARIE MAZUR AND ISABEL BOWLING. IT WAS LIKE WORDS CAN’T DESCRIBE IT. WE’RE THERE IN THE AFTERMATH. THIS WAS A SCENE WEDNESDAY. TWO STUDENTS HIT BY A DRIVER IN A STOLEN VEHICLE WHO CRASHED AND OFF ON FOOT WITH ANOTHER PASSENGER FROM THE VEHICLE. ONE STUDENT WAS KILLED. THE OTHER HOSPITALIZED. IT WAS VERY POWERFUL AND FEELING SICK TO YOUR STOMACH, LIKE PHYSICALLY ILL, ABOUT IT. AND SEEING THE COMMUNITY GATHERED AND LIKE THE SHOE WAS STILL OUT THERE AND POLICE TAPE A VIGIL FOR THE STUDENT WHO DIED. 18 YEAR OLD CADEN TURNER. HER FRIEND WHO WAS INJURED, ARRIVED ON CRUTCHES, SPOKE TO THE CROWD. MY NAME IS LAMAR RUSSELL. I WAS THE OTHER GIRL IN THE ACCIDENT AND CADEN WAS JUST SUCH A GREAT PERSON. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO GRADUATE TOGETHER AND HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN MY WEDDING. IT’S ALL HAD AN EFFECT ON SO MANY STUDENTS. THE OWNER OF THE 86 COFFEE SHOP THOUGHT SOME OF THEM MIGHT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, SO THEY CALLED IN A PROFESSIONAL WHO DOESN’T TALK AT ALL. THIS IS THEO. THEO IS A NEW FEDERAL. HE’S A NEWFOUNDLAND AND A STANDARD POODLE. THEO IS A THERAPY DOG. HE DOESN’T USE WORDS, BUT HIS FACE SPEAKS VOLUMES AND. HIS FRIEND CATHY SPRINKLE IS A THERAPIST WITH COUNSELING ALLIANCE. USUALLY PEOPLE JUST NEED TO TALK. THEY JUST NEED TO TALK. TALKING MAKES SENSE OF IT FOR PEOPLE. SOMETIMES PEOPLE LIKE TO TELL THEIR STORY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN JUST TO MAKE SENSE OF IT. AND THEN IT LEADS TO GREAT CONVERSATION BECAUSE I THINK WE TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH A LOT AS THE REALITY OF WHAT HAPPENED TAKES HOLD OF AN ENTIRE CAMPUS. SO YEAH, NOW THERE WAS A THIRD PERSON IN THAT VEHICLE, THAT CRASH THAT TAKES US. SPARKS GOT AWAY. THIS ONE COULDN’T BECAUSE THAT SUBJECT WAS INJURED.
