“We hear every single day how terrible suicides are, automobile accidents are, how terrible cocaine and heroin are, murders, homicides, all of them.

Hubert Humphrey
“The 48 (Johnson) ran into the 38 (Sadler) and I ran into them. That was an accident and accidents happen. We're all together so it's hard to miss something when you're going so fast. You can turn left, but the car is still going straight. It's just frustrating.”
Dale Earnhardt Jr

“No kids who have come to Project Graduation have ever been in an accident that night.”
Troy Mauldin
“Two days after being in a car accident, he comes out and basically throws a complete game. That was great right there.”

Angela Sims
“It appeared to be just one of those awful accidents -- terrible that it occurred on Memorial Day (weekend).”
