Not to put a damper on things...

I don't know if you've seen this in the news but the Pugmires are Dallin's Grandparents. It's interesting how often something like this happens when something really good is about to happen in my family. We are still planning on the wedding on saturday to give everyone some happiness.

ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) -- Two people were killed and a third person severely injured in a head-on collision in southern Utah.
St. George police Sgt. Craig Harding says neither driver appeared to brake during the 7:15 p.m. accident Saturday. Police say a truck driven by 24-year-old Kevin Tobias Barrick was headed south when it drifted across the center line of a city street and collided head-on with a car driven by Afton Pugmire.
Harding says Barrick was pronounced dead at the scene. Pugmire died later at Dixie Regional Medical Center. Her husband, Deward Pugmire, suffered multiple bone fractures on his left side and was hospitalized.
Police say Barrick may have tried to avoid the collision. An investigation is ongoing.

Afton was so sweet and so giving. She treated me just like one of her grandchildren. She made the best bread and was an excellent clothes washer and ironer. She will be missed.

Here is the updated report.

Two Fatalities in Local Head On Collision

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

Two people were killed and a third person severely injured in a head-on collision on 3050 East in St. George on Saturday evening.. St. George police Sgt. Craig Harding says neither driver appeared to brake during the 7:15 p.m. accident Saturday. Police say a truck driven by 24-year-old Kevin Tobias Barrick was headed south when it drifted across the center line of a city street and collided head-on with a car driven by Afton Pugmire. Harding says Barrick was pronounced dead at the scene. Pugmire died later at Dixie Regional Medical Center. Her husband, Deward Pugmire, suffered multiple bone fractures on his left side and was hospitalized. Police are now saying that was at fault as he crossed into the oncoming lane of traffic. Police believe that Barrick was impaired by Dust Off, an aerosol spray used to clean computers. But the propellants in the spray are intoxicating and can be deadly. Police are not sure if Barrick passed out, or was already dead, when crossed into oncoming traffic.
