Brian R. Wood, lead designer of Company of Heroes Online was killed in Seattle, Washington on Friday night in a car accident. He and his wife Erin were driving when they were hit head-on by 21 year-old Jordyn B. Weichert. Wood was 33 years old. His wife has been hospitalized but is in good condition. She is six months pregnant. Wood died at the scene.

Jordyn B. Weichert, who was driving a Chevy Blazer at the time, is believed to have been driving under the influence of drugs. According to reports the crash was triggered when Weichert removed her sweater or jacket driving while on a 2-way lane. While she was removing it the front-seat passenger, Samantha R. Bowling held the steering wheel. During this Bowling lost control of the vehicle and swerved into the other lane, hitting Wood's car. Three other passengers in the Blazer were killed during the accident. Washington State Patrol has stated that both Weichert and Bowling could face criminal charges; Weichert, with vehicular homicide and vehicular assault; Bowling, with vehicular homicide.

In summary stupid girl driving (possibly on intoxicated) decides she should have her passenger side friend hold the wheel while she changes her sweater, swerves into oncoming traffic. She kills the driver of the other car (Brian), leaving behind his wife and soon to be born child as well as a number of passengers in her own car. Sadly, neither of the two idiots driving the Blazer that caused this died.

Stupid crap like this just angers me so much much. Some people really really don't belong on the road. Ever.

mod edit -


The first thing Erin Wood wants her baby to know is that Dad, Brian, died to save their lives.

“. . . In his final act he did the only thing that would save us,” said Wood, 31.

With an out-of-control Chevy Blazer bearing down on him, the 33-year old North Vancouver man braked and swerved his Subaru wagon so that he would take the force of the head-on collision, saving his wife of five years, pregnant with their first baby..

Don't make this statement when you don't even know the whole story. Idiots who assume stuff and say stupid things shouldn't post.

Wow... I'm stunned. This is unbelievably tragic, and I have no clue how many bad decisions the two girls made to get to this. It's scary, and suddenly I'm much more afraid of driving.

Sorry for your loss, Taylor.
From what I've read on Facebook he must have been a really great guy.
I hope all the best for his wife and the baby.

I hate it when people behave so irresponsibly. When you're driving a car, you're not only steering a several thousand dollar item, you're also personally responsible for the lives of everyone in the vehicle and possibly other people as well. If you're not ready to bear that responsibility (for instance, if you're somehow intoxicated), you should Not. Fucking. Drive.

This forum is so ass backwards in what they allow and don't allow. Making a blind statement that someone should die is allowed, but calling someone an idiot is ban worthy.

EDIT: Im not saying that we should defend the people who caused the accident, but dont just assume stuff that hasnt been confirmed.

So she couldn't be bothered to wait to change into the sweater?.. A good example of a retarded driver who shouldn't be allowed on the road.

People who turn this thread into a flame war will be banned. Have some respect please. Mora (long time TL member) works for Relic, and thus worked with the man who died. I don't want him coming to this thread and seeing useless flaming.

Yeah but this is a problem also that morons can do completely retarded things an cause people deaths then its like "Oh well it was accident Derp ah derp!" an the person gets off with little or no punishment. Seriously was not changing her sweater couldn't to harm her in some way?.. I just can't bring myself to think of anyway that her choice wasn't completely moronic.
So its not hard to understand why people can be become angry over such a story.
