Company of Heroes Designer, Brian Wood Memorial Fund
As some of you may know, Brian Wood who was a designer on the PC RTS game, Company of Heroes died last week in a tragic crash. His last act was to save his wife and unborn child by swerving the car so he would take on the full brunt of collision from the oncoming vehicle whom the driver may have been under the influence of drugs.
Quoted from the Daily Mail:
The horrific accident happened on Friday as the Woods were driving to a family home on Whidbey Island in Washington State.
A Chevy Blazer crossed the centre line when the driver tried to take off her sweater - asking the other front passenger to take the wheel.
As Mr Wood braked and swerved, the Blazer’s momentum drove it right over the top of his Subaru.
Police said drugs may have been involved. All of the Blazer occupants were known to officers. None were wearing seatbelts.
Mrs Wood told The Province that the first thing she wants her baby to know if that her husband died to save them.
‘All the policeman say that if we had hit the car head-on all of us would be dead.
‘At the very last second (Brian) braked really hard and turned right so that he would be put in the path of the SUV and not me and the baby, and that is the only thing that saved us both.
‘I am not going to waste the gift he gave us.’
A memorial fund has been setup where you can donate in Canadian dollars at brianwoodmemorialtrust.com.
