"Uncle Bob" Hutchings

My dad called me not too long ago. He told me that his younger brother, my uncle Bob, was killed in an auto accident. He was driving with his girlfriend up Beaver Pass, in Utah, when he came upon a truck tire in the road. He swerved to avoid it, and, it sounded like he over compensated, trying to get the car back on the road. His car rolled several times. My uncle was ejected. Why? Because he wasn't wearing his seat belt. His girlfriend survived. She was wearing hers. When they found my uncles body, there was no trauma to the outside. The injuries were internal. My dad said that he always yelled at his brother to buckle up. Now it's too late.
