“It was brought to my attention five minutes after my son left me that night that this happened — that he was in an accident — and I discovered it on my own, I went down the street and I seen the scooter there and I seen his hat laying on the ground,” said Jeremy.
On Saturday, April 20, the Pigeon Forge Police Department announced that a man driving a scooter crashed into a car door someone opened at a red light as he was driving between the road and the sidewalk. He died in the hospital the day after the crash.
“He couldn’t wait to come to this Rod Run with me and he was very very happy,” said Jeremy. “And now it’s over.”
Now, Jeremy wants answers.
“No one can give me an answer, why has no one reached out to me to let me know anything, why has nobody said anything to me?” he asked. “My son is gone; he’s not coming back.”
He’s also looking for justice for his son.
“Somebody is at fault here, and somebody is going to pay for this.”
Jeremy said one thing that brings him peace is knowing his son was nearly a year sober when he died.
