    Yeah, I sure as hell hope the wife makes a full recovery and that nothing has happened to the kid. Losing your husband is horrible, but if the baby was harmed from it then it's just even worse. Feel sorry for the kid, will be born in the coming months and won't know/have a father there.

    An update on the story. Brian apparently saved his wife and child at the last moment by hitting the brakes, and swerving so that he would take the force of the collision instead of it being head on. Great news is, the wife had a minor head injury and is doing fine, and the baby is also doing fine and due in Nov.

    I kept thinking I've seen this in a game somewhere but it definitely wasn't a Relic game otherwise that would have been an awesome last second of life reference.
