A tragic accident in Columbus County, North Carolina claimed the lives of three members of a wedding party, including the groom just an hour before his expected wedding ceremony. Brandon Tedder, Brandon Lee Mintz and Daniel Sykes were all pronounced dead on the scene. Tedder was scheduled to get married less than an hour after the accident happened and Mintx and Sykes were members of the wedding party.

Most disturbing, police officers found empty beer bottles in the car that hit and killed these three young men. Officers are now investigating whether alcohol contributed to the accident.

What a tragedy to lose these three young lives, particularly as Tedder was just about to embark on a wonderful, new chapter in his life. Accidents like these are never good news to report and this one is even more heart-breaking given the timing.

I am sending my deep condolences to these families and friends. The highways bring such sadness every day and night. Speed and alscohol are often a part of these tragedies. Don't you think we need a voice that will speak in the ears and hearts of the drivers out there tonight? It is happening again and again and again and hearts are breaking.

My idea is to SHOUT from Honolulu to Bangor.

Thanks Jean!
