"A combination of speed and driver distraction" This is not always texting, he could've seen a deer on the road and swerved to avoid it. No one will know for sure since there were no witnesses...
Jill, John and family ... my prayers are with you. Words cannot express my sorrow over your loss of your son.
And Eagle, both adults and teens make errors while driving. And unfortunately, tragic errors sometimes. The Allen family has lost a wonderful young man. Please, everyone who posts here, only condolences are necessary in these comments. A family and community are grieving over this tragic accident. Thank you.
I will miss you
