On May 26, 2009 I reported on the InjuryBoard a multi-car collision involving Langstaff and Andrew Brock in which two people died. Today we received word from an interested party, another passenger died. It’s been reported the front seat passenger in the Brock truck was at 5:30 a.m. this morning removed from life support. The person reported the number of fatalities stands at 3. There is no report on the other passengers in the Brock vehicle. At the time we initially reported the other passengers also injured were reported to be Spencer Miller, age 15, David Haifley age 16 and Travis Filben age 19. I can’t be sure they were all in the Chevy truck or some other vehicle.

See the initial article for further details, we will report as more is made available to us.

There is a lesson for young people to learn about driving and concentrating on your driving. One has to wonder how many young people were in that Chevy truck and what was going on inside the cab that caused the driver to miss the stop sign. We make no assumptions, there could be a very good reason, but the report from the Iowa State Patrol shed no light on the reasons, if any. Like I said, we will report as details are brought to our attention.

The most recent Des Moines Register article shows a picture of the Langstaffs. They look so young and happy as a couple. Although he recently was laid off from his job with the Principal he’d interviewed at Allied Insurance and did very well. They are both Hawkeye fans and posed with their black Labrador Jackson. If ever life seems unfair it has to be for this extended family. This summer would have been their third wedding anniversary. They met after friends fixed them up on a blind date. Both sets of parents were educators.

So what is the lesson here, not sure I can come up with one tonight. Enough said.

You can check the Iowa Court's docket at Iowa Court's Online and see if there is anything of interest. This docket number in Washington County may or may not be correct. 08921 LALA002005 (WASHINGTON) Case filed on June 10, 2009. Citizens are also entitled to telephone the Washington County Clerk of Court and ask for information concerning filings or to visit the Clerk's office and look at the docket. I'm not sure if they allow you to look at the file while standing at the Clerk's counter. You probably can.
