I was the first there when it happened, I pulled Jacob (the driver) out of the truck & he did have his seat belt on because I had to take it off of him with help, not sure about Branden or Gabby.. I’ve heard both boys are stable & she is on life support. Prayers to the family❤️ I couldn’t be more sorry this happened.
