Both passengers lived. The female wasn't terribly injured and made a full recovery. The male passenger was initially critical, but made a full recovery as well. My friend caught the whole left front of the car in the head and suffered a massive brain stem injury. He was brain dead at the scene. The doctors kept him on life support for a couple of days, but there was really no hope from the start.

It was all surreal. We had a terrible time getting our heads around the fact that this could really be happening. He was larger than life, a rising superstar, and only 26 years old. At 21 years old, it was a hell of a wake up call for me. At that age we all thought we were invincible. We weren't.
