Thank You Lap at TMS Kills 87 Year Old Man
The Texas Driving Experience
An 87 year old WWII vet was being honored by Carter Blood Care for his lifetime of blood and platelet donations. The award was a trip around TMS in a C5 Z06 Corvette with our friends at Texas Driving Experience.
It is unclear what caused the fatal accident or even who was driving at the time.
The family declined to answer any questions about the accident only commenting, “We lost our family patriarch,” the Krusemark family said in its prepared statement. “He was a wonderful father, grandfather and great-grandfather.”
It is always sad to accidents like this and we wish the family all the best.
