Jen says
We also saw it, too. I’m sorry for your loss. We were a couple cars behind at the light. I was a passenger trying to navigate us to lunch. We were in from out of town. Your cousin came up the right side with his left signal on and was on the right hand side of the front car at the light. I didn’t see what he hit. Just saw the severe wobbles he was in and trying to correct. Then the crash. All the cars slowed down and gave him space to correct but he couldn’t before hitting the curb.
Very very sorry for the loss to you, his friends and family
