A man was killed in a car crash as he followed an ambulance carrying his sister, who had just committed suicide. Brenda Tucker, 21, was at her family-owned bar early Sunday in Detroit, Mich. when she took a gun, walked into a back room, and shot herself, Detroit News reported. Her uncle, Eddie Falbo, said Tucker suffered from depression. Attempts to stop her suicide failed. “She grabbed a gun, and I took it away from her head,” Falbo said. “Others were talking to her. I came out the door and heard, 'pop.' There were about eight to 10 people in the bar -- everyone heard it.” An ambulance took her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead. As her brother, 20-year-old Ricky Tucker, raced to the hospital to check on her, he was struck by an SUV and killed, police told the Detroit Free Press . Detroit police spokeswoman Kelly Miner said the younger sibling crossed the center line when his car collided with the SUV. The other driver suffered minor injuries and was treated at the hospital.
“It’s just one disaster after another for this poor family,” said Regina Holman, the owner of the bar. “I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like to bury two children.” Sister Amandajo Holman said she talked to her brother Ricky moments before he got in his car, according to USA Today. "After the doctors finally told us Brenda was dead, I called down to the bar to see about her cell phone, and that’s when I was told Ricky had been in a car accident,” she recalled. Holman left the hospital to go to the accident site, and returned to the hospital where her mom was waiting. “She just called me and asked me where I was, and I could tell in her voice that Ricky didn’t make it,” Holman said. This incident now marks the third death in the family in the past six months, Falbo said. The uncle said Ricky Tucker fatally shot his step-father in self-defense. “The boy — the one who just died — killed his step-dad. They were shooting back and forth, and he killed him in self-defense," Falbo said.
"The police let him right out of jail, because [his step-father] was shooting at him. “Three people in one family killed in six months,” Falbo said. “These kids’ mother is going through hell.”Tracker ProTracker BoatsMolded ConsoleFaced GaugesChrome BezelsTeam 190190 TxFishing BoatBass FishingForwardTracker Pro Team 190 TX: The one piece molded console is more reminiscent of a racecar than a bass fishing boat.

Sheila Taschuk took her car to Boyd Autobody for some warranty work and left it there for 2 1/2 weeks.During that time, she got the photo radar ticket in the mail and saw that where her vehicle was snapped was nowhere near the body shop.She says at first an employee of the body shop denied the vehicle had ever left the building, but after she faxed them a copy of the ticket, she got a call saying they'd be writing her a cheque.Taschuk says now her biggest concern isn't the ticket, it's how her car was being driven around, noting there appears to be more than 1,000 kilometres more on the vehicle than when she dropped it off.Kevin Comrie of Boyd Autobody says there appears to have been a confusion between Taschuk's car and a similar vehicle which had hail damage and was taken to a different location for repairs."We sublet that work out to a company called Hail Specialist,'' said Comrie. "They came to pick up the vehicle that had the hail damage, but unfortunately took the wrong vehicle. Our understanding is that they took it to their location, realized it was the wrong location and then brought it back to our location.''
rie said it is usually part of Boyd's policy to document vehicles' mileage upon arrival and departure."Yes, that absolutely is part of the procedure. We should always be taking a picture of the odometer -- that was again, a process that was not adhered to in this case."We clearly dropped the ball here.''We couldn't find the page you are looking for.Have you tried the search option to easily find what you are looking for?Join the Foundation Club Exclusive benefits: apply for grants, attend free workshops and more!
