  1. I’d like more information about this accident and whether or not the driver had a legitimate license and nature of his citizenship.

    1. The only information that matters is that someone lost a life and their family lost a loved one. God forbid something like this happens to one of your family members. I’d hope someone wouldn’t leave such an unsympathetic comment/questions regarding their life ending car accident. Make America Empathetic Again. God Bless you.

    2. no information needed to give to you . mind your business, being a citizen had nothing to do with his accident.

    3. What the actual F@#$ does it matter if he was a citizen? He was a citizen it was my friends grandson.

      1. I’m trying to get in contact with his family by chance would you be able to help me? I’m trying to make sure he gets the burial he deserves

  2. Given the time of occurrance, I would think alcohol, distraction or sleepiness were causative factors.

  3. What the hell does his citizenship have to do with anything?! But to answer your question, he was An American citizen! Born in the USA!
