Well, must be anonymous knows more already then the rest of us as nowhere in the article does it say yet that there even was booze involved. Give some of the younger generation a break and don't accuse them before you have all the facts. And, if you have some, come forward and share them!!

I believe WESB stated that the driver of the vehicle was being charged with DWI. Never the less it is a horrific accident. I feel sympathy for these boys families and for all other people they left behind. The four survivors are never goin to be the same.
