Posted by Backroadsnews on Jun 8, 2009 in Uncategorized |
There was a three fatality accident about two miles north of Linn on Highway 15 yesterday afternoon at approximately 2:54 p.m.
Victims were:
Vehicle 1 – Gilbert Luehring, Fairbury, Neb., 82 years old, and Carolyn Luehring, 75 years old.
Vehicle 2 – Eric W. Heward, Barnes. 16 years old.
All were wearing their safety restraints.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol report, vehicle 1 was northbound on K9, went left of center and struck vehicle 2 in the southbound lane. Vehicle 2 went into the ditch, overturned and came to a rest on the drivers side. Vehicle 1 came to a rest in the southbound lane facing north.
One firefighter suffered an injury while working the accident.
Hearing about this just makes me so sad. It makes me want to lock me and all my loved ones in a padded cell. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the family and friends involved with this. How sad.
Though I did not know the young man, I hear he was always one to act with friendliness and kindness, and perhaps tell a joke. My thoughts are with both families.
I did know the Luehrings and they were a very dear, thoughtful, and caring couple. One of their children died of cancer last month. My prayers go out to both of these families.
Eric was a good friend of mine. It tore my heart out when I found out what had happened. We were in school together since kindergarten. We were in scouts together. We were the best of friends.
James,
I’m so sorry for your loss and for all the people in Eric’s life that are feeling this pain. I hope that your wonderful memories of Eric help you during this time.

FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS LOST A CHILD, NO MATTER HOW GOD DECIDED TO TAKE HIM OR HER HOME, IS LIKE NO OTHER PAIN THERE IS. YOU TELL YOURSELF THAT GOD HAD HIS REASONS AND THAT THEIR LIFE WILL BE FILLED WITH NO PAIN OR SUFFERING. MY DEEPEST FEELINGS GO TO ALL OF HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THIS CHILD WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU IN YOUR HEART. JAN
