My husband and I were behind Jeffrey when he lost control of his truck. We stopped I called 911. My husband along with others wanted to help. Nothing could be done untill the first responders arrived. I prayed for Jeffrey the entire time the responders allowed us to stay. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers to his family and friends.
