In May 2013, Cody Byrns was driving on U.S. 41 when he stopped for a light in Princeton. Seconds later, a distracted driver plowed his large delivery truck into Byrns’ car, both crushing and enflaming it at once.

​​First responders fiercely fought the flames, but alas, it was too hot too fast. So they called the Gibson County coroner to assist with the aftermath of the horrific accident that engulfed Byrns’ car.
