Crew Dies in Car Crash, So Sad!

I just want to give my condolences to the families of the crew that died in a car crash. This is so sad and I wanted to say goodbye to these members of the industry. May they rest in peace and please, let them know that we will miss them. It appears all 5 men have passed away. There will be a memorial fund setup. Go to http://www.gofundme.com/3u9sjk38c to make a donation. They all worked for Wingate communications. The accident happened July 27, 2015. The reports all say a box truck ran a stop sign and hit the work truck, practically running it over and then it exploded, according to eye-witness reports. 

Per Wireless Estimator, “The deceased have been identified as Apolinar Nunez, 49, of Winter Haven; Jose Gomez, 53, of Winter Haven; Santos Vega, 24, Plant City; and Guillermo Chavez, 24, of Plant City. Identification of the fifth member of the company that died is waiting on notification of next of kin in Mexico. All men worked daily on cell site projects.”
