Volunteer firefighter in Minnesota called to fatal car crash finds teenage son dead in wreck: 'I dropped to my knees'
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...-scene-finds-son-dead-wreck-article-1.2839723A volunteer firefighter in Minnesota was called to a fatal car crash only to find that his teenage son had died in the wreck.
Randy Peterson had been unable to reach 16-year-old Carter on Sunday night and sensed something was wrong as he raced to the scene in Borup.
"Seeing the car on fire and the rims, I knew [it was my son]," Peterson told the Star Tribune on Thursday. "I dropped to my knees. I was a mess. Another member of the crew just held me."
Carter Peterson had dropped off his girlfriend and was headed home to Ada when he was broadsided by a pickup truck at an intersection. Alcohol was detected in the other driver's system, according to State Patrol. The 20-year-old North Dakota man was not seriously hurt.
