What owners wrote

My son was working with the owner of the truck in n.c. Truck went off road hit tree both died my son was thrown out of truck and landed under the truck. Police said airbags did not work right but due to fire it was said to be inconclusive. There was also a dog in the back seat that got out with out injury . This is what leads me to think the airbags were not working if so my son and the other boy would of had a better chance to get out of the truck before the fire started.
