Hey MOTORMOUTH since you seem to know so much about him then why does the State of Maryland have him listed as Jeremiah even as far back as 2000? Regardless the young man didn't deserve to die and my thoughts are prayers go out to him and his family.

I personally don't believe it was a complete accident, whether she was drunk or not. And if she was willing to get behind the wheel intoxicated this time, chances are she has done it before and would do it again. It was only a matter of time before she injured/killed someone. My prayers go out to the victim's family.

Wow you people can be so negative. Everyone one of us has been drunk at one time or another and done something stupid. Unfortunately the level of her stupidity was severe, and now she will have to live with this for the rest of her life. It says they were arguing - perhaps she was just trying to remove herself from the situation and allow some space. Take a d@mn second to put yourself in someone elses shoes. You weren't there, you don't know what happened. My prayers go out to both Jeremy & Erin.

Maybe since.... people including myself were there.. we may know a little more than you.

She was trying to leave the situation because they were arguing....She didnt know he was there and certainly did NOT do it on purpose!!! Anyone who knows Erin knows she is a kind-hearted, loving, and docile person and would never knowingly hurt ANYONE!!!
