Very sad story. Watched the kid pitch last night and woke up this morning to this news.

Uh, this is hard to swallow right now. Someone ran a red, striking his car. Terrible, terrible news…

I like to think that someday, everyone will collectively wake up one morning and realize that drunk driving is stupid and selfish, but I’m not comfortable giving people that much credit

I was actually going the other way with that. I mean I’ve never heard of someone smoking pot and then getting into a fatal hit and run accident…
…sure maybe it happens but not like all the deaths/injuries/damages done by drunk drivers.

To call Hancock's death a car "accident"...
… is a little misleading.
Josh Hancock was driving fast, hammered (0.16 BAC), and either texting or talking on the phone at the same time as he slammed into a flatbed tow truck going nearly 70 on the side of a Missouri freeway. (Never mind the pot and pipe the cops found under his seat upon investigation; drugs were not in his system upon death.)
Not to speak poor of the dead, but Hancock did it to himself. Thank goodness only his life was taken and not some poor tow truck driver trying to do his job late at night

I like this article
For some reason, people don’t seem to make a big deal out of drunk driving. Unless somebody is killed, these kinds of stories don’t get the attention they deserve. ARod gets caught taking steroids and the sports world flips upside down… An athlete gets pulled over for DUI, and it gets a mere fraction of media coverage. It’s like people accept drunk driving as a reality, and this is exactly why the problem doesn’t get fixed.
