No parent should have to bury their child, let alone two -- at the same time. A Friday funeral service for two Idaho teenagers killed in a horrific crash will recall how the siblings shared an uncommon connection. The brother and sister died last week in a fatal collision that was so grisly that two emergency first responders were stricken by the death scene: one suffered a heart attack, the other a mental event. Eric Neibaur and Lauren Neibaur, 15 and 13, respectively, died in a horrific head-on collision near the town of McCammon on US 30. They were headed home from a family getaway that included camping and dirt bike riding in Island Park. Their mother and father road ahead in another vehicle -- Eric trailed and Lauren trailed in a …show more content…
pickup --and they periodically kept a watchful eye on their children. At some point, the mom noticed Eric's truck was no longer within view. She soon received a telephone call from another relative who shared the heart-stopping news: the kids were involved in a vehicular crash some distance behind and died in the wreck, according to a NY Post report. Apparently, Eric's vehicle crashed head-on into an SUV after the teen's truck veered out of his lane of travel. The other driver, 70-year-old Nampa resident, Jay Lanningham, also died in the wreck. Sources say an Idaho first responder assigned to the Bannock County Search and Rescue group experienced a life-threatening crisis on the scene.
Reports say the emergency worker was so overcome while trying to extricate the dead occupants that they suffered a heart attack. Moreover, a police officer on the scene, who met with and tried calming arriving family members during extrication, was "deeply shaken" by the deaths. He was reportedly authorized to take time off to recover from the tragedy of the Idaho fatalities. Bannock County Sheriff Lorin Nielsen said the Father's Day crash is something the community -- especially those on the scene -- will not soon forget due to its horrific nature. "The difference between this accident and others is that the damage was so horrific and there weren’t any skid marks. All of us have seen death before, but when we have kids that are about the same age it really hits home a bit more than anything else does." Deputy Charles Bannister, who personally knows the Neibaur family, was one of the first officers to arrive on the grim scene. Although three people lost their lives in such a painful way, he was moved by the show of support from locals. Those who helped -- mainly complete strangers -- "had a total and complete loss of concern for
themselves. Friends who knew Lauren and Eric Neibaur say they were "inseparable" and "had a magical connection." One person said God saw it fit to take them both because they couldn't live without the other. [Featured Image by
Since he had so much downtime he had added his name to a volunteer list of emergency ambulance calls. Gary and his wife had lived in very small prairie town in the middle of of a farm country. With one hamy-down ambulance that the city had given them since they had bought new ones. They had answered calls to car accidents ,farming accidents,gun accidents,poisonings,and a very good amount of heart attacks. He would usually go alone or sometimes with another man who had also volunteered to answer emergency ambulance calls. He recalls that he has seen at least a dozen heart attack victims in the last year. Sometimes the distance were so long that he could not make it. If he did they had to wait at most an hour or maybe longer for the flight for life helicopter. One day he can remember was one day a woman called and said” quick it's my Harvey he is having chest pains again”. He got in the car should of got there in twenty minutes but he got there fourteen by driving like a crazy person. Then saw the man with a weird smile as if trying to say sorry for the difficulty. The wife had also gave him a look like thank god you're here save him please the gray look on him was bad. When he tried to put him on his back he jolted for some reason as if he was getting hit by electricity became stiff and fell on the ground. He told the wife to call for the chopper. Then bent
This letter is written by Jonathan Airey regarding my own loss of consortium brought on by the December 23, 2016 car accident involving Stephanie Airey. Stephanie is and always has been a loving spouse and mother to our children. The injuries she sustained on December 23, 2016 incapacitated Stephanie from that time until April 12, 2017. Stephanie’s incapacity was hugely impactful on my life and the lives of our children.

... is still in the area. The officer should give help to the victim, making sure if only wounded and ambulance is on its way. Investigators must right everything down they can about the scene. After everything has been documented, and the scene is safe, everyone attended to the focus is now on the homicide investigation. The investigators will determine who the victim is; provide the time the death occurred, determine what caused the death and what method was used to get to eradication, and then they will get information that leads them to a suspect (Orthman, Hess, 2013).
In fall 2008 Ryan Didone was with four of his friends, when he hit a tree with his car. He died at the hospital as 15 years old. Captain Thomas Didone works at the police department, and he is Ryan’s father. He never thought he was those parents who would get a phone call like that. If it could happen to him, it could happen to anyone. Ryan’s father was with his son, the day he was born, and he unfortunately had to be with his son, the day he died, and he never wishes that to any parents. It was an inexperienced, and immature driver and to high speed at night with some other kids. He was going too fast. Ryan gave serious trauma for the rest of the community.
Not the parent who buries the child. Most people do NOT experience the pain and devastation of the death of a child. And I truly hope no parent will ever feel the death of their child because they do not deserve it. The pain and devastation are indescribable and single people – and even parents – will never feel this devastation until they experience losing a child themselves. If you love your child, the death of your child is more painful than the death of any of your loved ones, including your own parents.

After the incident, I began doing some research on teenage car accidents at the advice of the officer who had responded to the scene. What I read about and learned was frightening. In 2008 over three thousand teen deaths occurred, either as a passenger or driver in a ...
