KD in CA Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 That sucks, always liked him. It happened right up the street from my office, I had just passed through there 1/2 hour earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helpmenow Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 My favorite of the 60 minutes crew. What a shame. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 btw...that looks like a nasty crash so maybe it didn't matter, but I'm curious if he was wearing a seat belt. For some reason, people frequently fail to buckle up when in the back of a towncar/limo which is a huge mistake. I've read several stories over the years of people injured/killed while riding in hired cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
