I Have read all of these comments and I’ am appalled by some of these anonymous comments this is ridiculous pointing fingers, this was a huge tragic accident that has effected 3 family, and many friends let the law do what it was designed to do Chris will serve his time in jail and will have to deal with taking the life of his friend Nathaniel Day and injuring Charles. Spending the rest of his life in jail will NOT bring Nathaniel back. I was privileged to get the opportunity to get to know Nathaniel Day we had a mutual friend that brought him to my house about 3 years ago he truly was a great person I enjoyed getting to know and hang out with him. My hart goes out to Nathaniel family for there loss.

One thing isn't a lie, they were underaged and drinking. 90% of the deaths around here could be prevented if people would just be careful. is it time to legalize booze again?

It hearts my heart to know I am surrounded by such ignorant people. You people should be ashamed of the lies you spread.

I am so sorry for the loss of Nathaniel. He was an amazing person. One of those that just melts your heart. We were good friends when we were in grade school. Over the years just haven't really talked. My heart is saddened, and I feel for his family and friends. RIP Nathaniel!

Nathaniel Day was my cousin and I can say on behalf of our entire family that this tragic event has rocked our world! We now have to bury one of our loved ones and it just doesnt seem fair he was only 19 years and left behind a son, a sister, a mother, and an entire family that is trying to cope with it all! Please let this be a lesson to those people out there who think it's okay to drink and drive! Because it isn't and the pain we are all feeling now due to a drunk diver is unexplainable! We love Nathaniel and miss you so much bubby!!!
