What could have caused such a tragic accident? Bruce learned a few days later that Justin, the 19-year-old driver of the other car, was drag racing when he crashed into Cindy's minivan.
Justin says before the day he hit Cindy's car, he had never participated in any sort of drag race. He was a good student, had never gotten into trouble and had never even had a speeding ticket.
"[The race] started as an acceleration contest that went out of control," Justin recalls. "The last thing I remember is coming around the bend and seeing the minivan pulling out in front of me. Shortly after, I blanked out. When I came back, I could remember hearing sirens and seeing smoke everywhere. I could hear a man outside crying about his wife and daughter."
According to reports, Justin's car was traveling at speeds of 80 to 100 mph when the collision occurred.
