Please Wear Your Seatbelts
A close friend of mine died this morning in a car wreck on their way back from the beach. Another one of my close friends that was with him is in the hospital with severe injuries but is stable.
My friend that died is Jacob Benton, 18, of Titus, AL and the severely injured friend is Jake Bond, 18, of Wetumpka, AL. Jacob just turned 18 on the 3rd of this month.
Neither were wearing their seat belts, and the driver of the car that they hit head-on was, she survived without serious injury.
Everyone, please be careful, wear your seat belts, and send your prayers to the Benton and Bond families.

I am very sorry to hear about you losing one of your friends.... I lost one of my close friends a few years ago when he crashed on a quad without a helmet.
The doctors said if he had been wearing a helmet he would have lived....
So I know how tough it is man... I was only 19 when he passed away.
I think the worst thing you can do is shut down and isolate yourself from the world after something tragic like this happens... Talk with your friends and family about the good times you shared together. Memories will last a life time bro.
