Brothers Die in Traffic Crashes Minutes Apart
Thursday, December 8, 2005 Posted: 1842 GMT (0242 HKT)
LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (AP) -- Sheriff's deputy Andy McDowell was forced to live a parent's worst nightmare twice in a matter of minutes.
After he was taken to the site where one of his two sons was killed in a car crash early Wednesday, McDowell was driven past another fatal accident. Only later did he learn that the fiery wreck took the life of his only other child.
"You take the most unimaginable hell that a parent could be told and double that," Warren County Deputy Coroner Dwayne Lawrence said.
Rory McDowell, 23, and Cory McDowell, 21, both died within a couple of miles from the home they shared with their father in southern Kentucky's rural Warren County.
Rory McDowell lost control of his pickup truck coming out of a curve and the vehicle struck a tree shortly before 1:30 a.m., authorities said. There was no visible sign of alcohol involved, sheriff's Capt. Brent Brown said Thursday.
The father told authorities he had been talking with Rory McDowell on a cell phone about the time of the crash, Brown said. He said that might have been a factor in the crash, as well as excessive speed on a narrow road. He had no further details.
About 15 minutes after the first crash, Cory McDowell's 1984 Porsche veered off another rural road, went into a spin, struck a tree and burst into flames, authorities said.
The crashes remained under investigation, police said.
Authorities said the father had always doted on his sons. "That's all he talked about was his boys," said sheriff's department Sgt. Tim Meyer. "He lived for his boys."
Warren County is about 110 miles southwest of Louisville.

| Now...we all know that cars are not supposed to burst into flames when they strike an object, the second death sounds mighty fishy to me. |

I couldn't even begin to imagine going through something like that.
I have a somewhat similar story to that....
About 5 years ago the mother of a really good friend of mine passed away unexpectidly due to liver failure. At the funeral my friends mother's boyfriend was a mess...they had been together about 7yrs and still acted like school kids in love.
After the funeral he didn't feel like talking with anyone and went home. We were all at the reception after the funeral and my friends cell phone rang and it was her mom's boyfriend....his brother had been on his way over to his house to sit with him and he was about 15min from his home and a tractor trailer spun out and hit his car killing him instantly. :( |

| Being so close to x-mas and the thought of losing not one but two kids is definatly a heart breaker. I would be crushed if It was my sons that passed away within miles from eachother |
