I was on scene of this accident. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Jeremy's family and friends.

@Debby, If you look closely it's a mid to late 90s model Camry, which don't have a drive-by-wire system so the accelerator would not stick. (I've got a 97). This is definitely sad. This is why I tell everyone I know not to drink and drive, as a 23 yo male I know how easy it is to get your bravado up, but sometimes it just isn't worth it.
