Multiple ambulances, firetruck, and Sheriff's car. My wife had to turn around and come up Hwy 61. I do not know any more details. One person did not make it. Sounded like a one car wreck. One was person was taken to the hospital. There is already another thread about this Link to post Share on other sites
tuscanytrailer Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I can't find the other thread about this. I live in a subdivision off of Cole Lake. Does anybody know what kind of vehicle? My kids and their friends travel this road all the time and now I am concerned. I heard all the sirens. Link to post Share on other sites

My kids and their friends travel this road all the time and now I am concerned. I heard all the sirens. The other thread said a small black car. And further down in the thread they said "they" were okay, so don't know if there was a death or not. So scary. I just called my son since he had told me he was going somewhere with a friend.

I just called my son since he had told me he was going somewhere with a friend. yeah the ones that are ok are my friends boys. They live on that road so I called him to make sure his boys were ok. As for the ones driving the car, I think Solo posted one was a signal 48 and the other was hurt Link to post Share on other sites

It was called in as a small back car. One person did not make it and one went to the hospital Link to post Share on other sites

boxerlvr Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 It was a friend of my daughters. He graduated from Hiram this year. His 18th birthday is in a couple of weeks. Very sad. I think the viewing is tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites

raclay Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I just heard from my neighbor that the young man that passed away was his wrestling partner at HHS. However, my neighbor said that this particular accident happened on Garmon Road, so were there two separate accidents? Link to post Share on other sites

There have been times though that I didn't get a notification. Goodness, I hope it isn't two separate ones!! My daughter knew the young man involved in the one on Cole Lake. So sad.

According to his sister on FB last night: Our family just went to see blake, he looked very peaceful and absolutely perfect. We dont know anything about the funeral and there isnt going to be a viewing, just a memorial. Ill keep everyone updated. Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers.

raclay Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 This just absolutely breaks my heart and I did not know Blake. My neighbor, he's 17, knew him and I think my own son knew him, but not real well. They had played basketball with him not too long ago. I guess it's partly because he was so young, had just graduated, about to start life as an adult and the fact that I have a son who is 19 and so close in age. I felt like this a while back when another young man passed, Nick Frank, he also went to HHS. My thoughts and prayers are going to Blake's friends and family. I pray that God will give them the strength to pull through and carry on. Link to post Share on other sites

I pray that God will give them the strength to pull through and carry on. It's heartbreaking, as a teacher, to see the names of former students on here (or elsewhere) that have died in accidents. My oldest group of former students are 19ish. I haven't heard of any others. The boy driving the car of the fatality (CBW) is fine. that's where I got my wires crossed. I thought Cole Lake Rd AND Garmon Rd both had fatal accidents. Link to post Share on other sites
denisedaisy33 Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I thought the one that was killed was the driver. Was I wrong? Link to post Share on other sites
DebThornburg Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I thought the one that was killed was the driver. Was I wrong? That is correct. The driver was the fatality and it was on Cole Lake Rd. His bestfriend was with him in the car and he was taken to the hospital and checked out and released. I did see him lastnight and spoke with him and he is doing remarkably well, a few cuts that are minor but he has so many friends around him and supporting him. I will say that they weren't doing anything wrong, it was just a freak accident and nothing more. Blake passed away in the arms of his bestfriend but I am thankful that his friend is still here with us to share the memories and good times that so many had with Blake during his short time here with us. They are both loved by so many and Blake will be greatly missed. Continued prayers for both families of these boys as well as the many, many friends that are going through such a hard time of losing a great friend. Link to post Share on other sites

raclay Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 Sorry about the confusion as to whether or not there were two accidents, that was my fault. I was just asking because I was told the accident happened on Garmon Rd, but it did not. So there was only one accident and one fatality. Sorry if I caused any confusion, I was a bit confused myself and that's why I asked. If there is anything the families are going to need please let us know, and I mean both families, Blake's and the other person who is okay physically. Do they need any food ie: meals prepared or anything like that? Link to post Share on other sites

beachchik Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) I knew Blake from riding the bus with him. He was a great kid. We didn't talk ALL the time,but it still seems like it was just yesterday when all of us would sit in the back of the bus and joke around,and he was grossing us out with his spit. Hahah. I so wish that he didn't have to go like this,and it breaks my heart to know that he really is gone and none of us will ever see him again. We all wish that he was still here to joke around with us and be the lively,happy young teen that we all knew him to be. But as long as we keep his memory alive,he will always be with us. Everyone please continue to pray for his family and all of his friends,especially Cody who was in the car with him. And they are having a candlelight service for him at Hiram High School on the football field at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow,and the funeral is Tuesday at 7 at Clark Funeral Home. Rest In Peace Christopher Blake Waters. 7/15/92 - 7/2/10♥ Edited July 3, 2010 by Lauren P Link to post Share on other sites
