A Drunk Driver Killed Four Family Members Of Rockets Forward Danuel House
Houston Rockets forward Danuel House has lost four family members, who tragically died in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. The victims of the tragedy reportedly are House’s nephews and the wife of his bother.
On March 14, Porsha Branch, her 7-month-old son, Drake House, her 2-year-old, Messiah House, and 5-year-old King House were killed by a drunk driver. According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy pulled the drunk driver over for speeding shortly before the crash. The driver apparently didn’t appear impaired so he was let go again, only to kill an entire family minutes later.
Investigators said the black box recovered from the vehicle showed that the drunk driver was driving 115 mph, two seconds before crashing into Branch’s vehicle.
The candlelight vigil was Thursday, with the walk-thru visitations happening yesterday and today, which explains the absence of House from the team. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families. May they rest in peace.
