This fine young soldier had just returned from serving his country in Afghanistan. That he survived war only to come home and lose his life in this way is just devastating. A “failure to yield” ticket doesn’t begin to reflect the results of what has happened and I hope the driver will have to answer to additional charges for Mr. Higgs’ death.
