Company of Heroes designer killed in car crash

PC News | A true hero.
Brian Wood, a lead designer for the acclaimed Company of Heroes series, has been killed in a car crash. He was 33 years old.

Canadian news site The Province, has reported that Wood had swerved his vehicle in order to avoid collision with a Chevy Blazer, saving his wife Erin and their unborn child.

“All the policeman say that if we had hit the car head-on all of us would be dead. At the very last second (Brian) braked really hard and turned right so that he would be put in the path of the SUV and not me and the baby, and that is the only thing that saved us both.

“I am not going to waste the gift he gave us.”

Investigation of the Chevy Blazer later revealed that there was evidence of drug use within the vehicle. While the investigation continues, the driver of the vehicle is now in custody awaiting charges.

How sad, I wish his family and friends the very best. And may the law or vigilante justice rain upon the driver of the Chevy Blazer.

An incredible act of self sacrifice, no question he should be honored with something post death, maybe a meal or an award...

I hope the allegedly drug **** idiot who caused such grief, gets life for this...
