That intersection of Samford and Shug Jordan is as barren as an intersection can be. Just don’t understand how a rear end collision can end like this

Some people are suggesting texting may have played a part, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions because when I was 16 I drove a POS 4runner and one time I was coming down a hill and my engine just shut off all of a sudden, my steering wheel and brakes both locked up, and I eventually coasted to a stop at the bottom of the hill without anything happening, but I went through multiple lanes before I stopped. If there had been anybody coming from the other direction or sitting at the light at the bottom of the hill I would have slammed right into them and there would have nothing I could've done. I got lucky as hell.



This really hurts. I've never been so upset before over the death of somebody I didn't personally know, I feel like I've lost a friend.

Prayers for his family first and foremost and all the Auburn family

How old were his kids?

I think that is correct.

Horrible news to roll over to in the middle of the night...rest in peace Rod

This is bullshite.


I bet that fricking kid was texting.

I'm fricking crushed. frick.

It didn’t hit me right away. I thought well that fricking sucks. To happen that way, just isn’t fair. I thought about their family and having to deal with the sudden and unexpected loss of both parents? Jesus. I hope those kids will be alright.

But it hit me later, when I went back and listened those amazing calls. And all the memories of those games, where I was, who I was with and the emotions shared. Nobody called games like Rod, not for me at least.
