Brothers Killed After Their Cars Collide

PAW PAW TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Two brothers were killed in a head-on traffic collision with each other.

Jessie West, 24, and James West, 33, were killed Sunday, not far from their home. James West was driving when he lost control and crossed into the path of his brother's oncoming car, police said.

"We've never had anything quite like this," Van Buren County sheriff's Sgt. Virg Franks told the Kalamazoo Gazette.

Police said skid marks left at the scene suggested the crash was accidental. Family and friends told police there were no bad feelings between the brothers.

Jessie West was wearing a seat belt and was trapped inside his car when police arrived. James West, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from his car. Both were pronounced dead at the scene, The Herald-Palladium of St. Joseph and the South Bend (Ind.) Tribune reported.

Jessie West worked as a supervisor at Gallagher's Eatery & Pub in Paw Paw and left early Sunday, saying he wasn't feeling well. His brother worked as a truck driver and moved into the home about eight months ago, said Jessie's longtime neighbor, Josh Hunsberger.

I swear to God, I think I read a similar story here on S.O. abt two siblings who were involved in a car crash and died, say abt a year ago.

In Boston last year, there were two teenage sisters killed in the same car, after leaving a party. I think I posted about it. Two gorgeous blondes...it was a very sad story. Maybe that's what you're thinking about.

Probably. But for some reason I am thinking that the crash was similar to this one you posted, two different cars...oh wait, it was two brothers, one died in one car accident and another brother died I think four hours later in another accident. God, now this is going to bug me.
