What happened to the third passenger that was in the car with them? it said recklein was driving, and had THREE other passengers riding along with him. It states 2 of the passengers died, and the driver was seriously injured, but says nothing about the third PASSENGER that was supposed to be in the vehicle with them? If anyone knows what happened please let the rest of us know
