Default may be losing a good friend to offroading accident

My hometown may be losing a good friend soon to an offroading accident. Ben Hilliard of pensacola(a good friend if mine) is currently on life support after rolling his chevy tahoe off a 50 ft cliff and being ejected out of the vehicle. When ben came to a rest on the ground the tahoe came crashing down on him pinning him for more then 30 minutes. He has no brain activity and not doing well as he is in critical condition at sacred heart hospital in pensacola fl. Please send your prayers out to my friend ben tonight he needs it and we need it.

Sucks loosing anyone, let alone someone close to you, especially when something as a seat belt may have saved his lift.
Thoughts and prays to him, his family, and friends.
