Justin Trimble.A Chattanooga family is dealing with a two-fold tragedy this week after a pair of traffic crashes, connected in a gut-wrenching way, claimed the lives of two men.
Justin Trimble‘s body was found Monday night near the Wilcox Boulevard tunnel. Just hours later, police confirmed Tuesday morning that Derrick Bush was killed in a crash, as well.
Bush, a relative of Trimble, had been seriously injured in a car wreck last week while helping in the search for Trimble after Trimble disappeared on a motorcycle May 30.
Family members could not be reached for comment, but many expressed their grief through social media Tuesday as the long search for Trimble ended and Bush died from his injuries.
“My Cuzin Derrick Bush sacrifice his life lookin for his Cuzin ,” Terrell Bush wrote on his Facebook page. “R.I.P JUSTIN n Derrick.”
