Can't they put in some speed bumps? This is so tragic!!!

How about we do somthing about the serious drug problem that is bring ignored in harco.

Why else do you think people are nodding out while driving at 6am

@Mary they actually have added a couple of rumble strips, that are mini speed bumps a few hundred feet away near Rt.7 and Jones rd.This is not a bad or dangerous road at all, just people don't follow safe driving techniques and head on crashes happen too often.

I lived in Gunpowder Ridge in Joppa and worked in White Marsh from 2003-2011, I drove past this spot 1,000s of times.A few times had to watch out for a bad driver coming at me.

check Case Search and see the extensive criminal record of the driver. Unfortunately, it was only a matter of time before he killed someone.. So sad for the families.

People change you don't no the driver so don't assume things about him @nanab

Sad to say but that's why people need to wear they're seat belts as adults we all understand the risk we take when we don't have a seat belt on

People that drive badly, cause accidents and ultimately kill others need to be held responsible!!!! Our municipalities don't need to do anything but enforce our laws and the judges need to stop being passive with penalties for those found guilty of intoxication!!!

Case search doesn't mean anything. It's called the past. The driver was charged with driving under the influence but it specifically states "THE CHARGES WERE NOT RELATED TO EITHER ALCOHOL OR ILLEGAL DRUGS"... So what exactly is he under the influence of? Maybe tiredness since it was at 6 am?? Don't judge a situation until you know ALL the facts.

if you are being charged for being under the influence... the obviously the charges have to be drug or alcohol related.... doubtful that this person was drunk at 6am... knowing their past drugs must be the issue...

driving under the influlence of being tired makes no sense

"Nearby resident Heidi Wallace said accidents are frequent along that stretch of Philadelphia Road, mainly because of speeding" he crossed over the line... has nothign to do with speeding

None of you know ANYTHING about this person. Or what happened. Who are you to judge? "This waste of life" (assuming that's what you meant to say?) that is a HORRIBLE thing to say about someone. How can YOU even look at yourself in the mirror? HISTORY is history. Are you the same person now that you were 3, 5, 10 years ago? No. Stop judging him. You don't think he feels terrible about what happened? NO ONE, EVER has a right to judge someone or a situation until you know it personally or know ALL of the facts, not whats posted in an article. You can't call the police and ask for facts for a reason. Because they don't WANT you to know everything. There is more to the "case" than what is posted.

Brandon is one of my bestfriend and he has a good heart so if you don't no him keep your fuckin mouth shut he ovb didn't set out to hurt anyone

My point exactly. "Facts are facts" .. And the FACTS are NOT posted on this article. STOP JUDGING! "Brandon has always been a bad person"?!!! So you do know him? Obviously you just know OF him. He is in no way a bad person. These comments are making me physically ill. If any of you knew what was going on at all you'd all feel horrible about yourselves. I'm not about to give out details but I'm just going to say everyone needs to just stop. None of you bashing him know what happened, what's been happening or what happened previous to this incident.

With all due respect, Anonymous, the past is a very good indicator of what kind of choices a person is going to make. Especially if someone keeps making the same "mistakes" over and over.

I hadn't looked at his case search history, but after reading the posts here I became curious and looked at them and while I don't have the whole story, I can certainly tell you what it looks like. Based on his history it looks like he got mixed up into pills (Oxycontin or Clonazepam, would be my guess) somehow (perhaps an injury? anxiety?) and got addicted. Started the downward spiral. Starts taking more, maybe dealing a little on the side to feed the habit, starts forging prescriptions, gets arrested numerous times for possession with intent, running from the police, giving false statements to police, assault, theft, trespassing, DUI, and leaving the scene of more than one accident. He sounds like your typical addict. Now, granted, his last charge was in 2010, but in the same sense, 90% of his charges have a "Nolle Prosequi" plea, so I have a hard time believing he actually learned anything from those experiences.

Based on his history I wouldn't say anything has changed. I honestly have to wonder if he would have stayed at the scene of the accident had he not been seriously injured. That said, I wish him a full recovery so that he can face the consequences of his actions. Hopefully our judicial system actually does the right thing this time.

TG, Yes, whoever thinks that Brandon does not belong in jail after this stint is a moron. Don't really know what is confusing or wrong about that. I'm also not sure how that reflects my IQ but okay. Yes, I know Brandon personally. This fiasco proves that he has not changed. Obviously I wish this never happened? Not really sure where you are going with that. I would never wish this upon anyone. Maybe you are confused because I said "I'm glad". Maybe those weren't the best choice of words however need less people like this on the streets causing havoc so if he is put away I feel like that stops some of the problem.

As people we all make decisions and we choose our realities. This is what he chose and I do not feel sorry for him one bit. You engage in risky behavior, you suffer the consequences. Instead of wasting your time defending him and if he belongs in jail or not, why don't you spend an ounce of that emotion on the people who are really going to suffer from this like the families of the person who did not deserve to die.

To those on here defending Brandon, you must be in similar situations as he was. After all the mention of his past cases, I decided to look at "public information". I could never support or defend anyone who has a long history of: drugs, reckless driving, assault, multiple accounts of driving under the influence, forgery, eluding police, burglary....and the list goes on. Oh, and the biggie, he spent time in jail, and obviously did not learn a lesson. This type of history infuriates me when it leads to someone taking someone else's life. He does not deserve to be in our community anymore. I hope he suffers in jail for a long time. And don't bother defending him or posting on here how we should not judge him. We can only judge by one's actions. They are his action's not anyone elses.

This is a terrible, senseless tragedy that should never have occurred in the first place. To have an innocent kid lose his life is the worst of the worst. The driver of the pick-up was high on Suboxone. You're methadone of the opiate world. Legal in some instances. But he was high on it and nodded out, crossing the line. The results are horrific as we all know.

Hundreds of people attended the viewing for Brian yesterday, and a heartfelt funeral this morning. His family and friends will miss him greatly. His friendship is one that few in life experience, and those that did were greatly blessed.

I'm with Ashley and Concerned Citizen, I hope our legal system holds strong and Brandon is forced to face the consequences of his bad decisions.

If any of you think he was "high on suboxone" you're idiots and obviously know NOTHING about this case.

Well he was certainly high on something. We know that much from what he was charged with.

You don't know anything.

Yeah, I'm sure the police don't either.

@suava I et your perfect aren't you you make no mistake fuck that people make mistake and people do chane it's people like you who are small minded and are fuckin our county up none of there asshole know Brandon he has a good heart and as a teenager he made mistake like most people do this is an unfortunate accident and I do feel bad someone lost there life but let's not forget had the other person been following the law and had their seatbelt on maybe they wouldn't of been thrown from the car how does a father allow his son to drive without a seat belt none of your are focused on that just bringing down Brandon he ovb feels bad he's a human not a monster like some of you are trying to make him out to be

Yea but has the other person had a seatbelt on it may have been a different out come last time I checked the law in the state of Maryland says all occupants need to have a seat belt on and if this was your loved one on Brandon's position I'm sure your outlook would be complexity different its so easy to point fingers your not perfect no one on here is all y'all need to get off your high horse

My cousin paralyzed a woman while driving drunk. He's a POS who should have done jail time, but didn't. So no, I would not be thinking differently.

We are not on "high horses" we have morals, COMMON SENSE and apathy. You are a cold, heartless, POS.

Ok, I had enough. I am a personal friend of the person Brandon KILLED. I do know the facts of what happen and do know that he was on something. SO ask yourself, How would you feel if someone you know was KILLED by someone so selfish as Brandon? Brandon will have to live with this the rest of his life (if he cares). But by the way his record looks, he doesn't. How do you fall alseep at 6:00 in the morning heading to work? REALLY?

So as BRANDON was being released from the hospital, family and friends were attending Brain's FUNERAL. SO how does that make you feel for the ones that are defending BRANDON? Someone such as Brandon is a heartless person and had no care for anyone's safety. It does not matter if Brian had a seat belt on, because it would not of help. When Brandon crossed the double line and driving in the wrong lane, Do you think that would have matter on a head on collision? No!!!! Brandon had a full size truck and hit a 4 door sedan vehicle, No comparsion.

So, I am going to be that person who will be in the court room when the judge will ask, "Does anyone have anything to say to the Defendant", I will be that person with a lot to say.

Just remember everyone, we all have a past and sometimes the past will always lead to your future. Brandon your past sure did lead yours.

RIP Brian........

Everyone on here that is defending Brandon:how would you feel if that was your son or daughter that was killed,would it still be as simple as "he should have been wearing his seatbelt". Someone lost their life because of Brandon and its as simple as that! He will end up back in prison where he deserves to be and will hopefully stay there this time around!

I'm really afraid to be out on the roads now with all of these Brandon "supporters". The ONLY reason I could see ANYONE defending this low-life is if they too were about as drugged out as Brandon was. If you think he just made a mistake and doesn't deserve our disgusting words, then you are about as guilty as he is. I guess you are just trying to defend your drug infested actions too! Get a life! Especially before you take a life too!

Another reason why they should ban drinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT KILLS!

Brian wasn't wearing a seat belt but he wasn't ejected either. The whole passenger side of the car was demolished. Seat belt or not he would not have lived because a littel4 door sedan was hit HEAD ON by a pick up truck. However the piece of crap "friend" of all those that have posted above did live and apparently this type of behavior is a pattern for him. You can defend him all you want the fact of the matter is he took medication and got behind the wheel of a truck and killed a 26 yr old man that was going to work. Defending someone like this puts you in the same catagory...SCUM! Brian was a close friend, and loved by all that knew him. He was just married and enjoyed everything that life had to offer. While your "Friend" will most likely get a slap on the wrist and released to continue his vicious cycle, those that knew and loved Brian will be left with an empty hole. His wife is now a widow. Before you post your comments you should think about how you would feel if the shoe was on the other foot.

I think someone needs to hold the courts responsible for letting Brandon off so many times. Had Brandon been punished correctly and not slapped on the wrist maybe he would have been in jail and not on the road to kill Brian. I am not saying that this is the courts fault but they really need to start cracking down on these people and not slapping them on the wrists.

Thank You Ashley you are right.
