This is from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram today. I would imagine that an uncataloged injury for the father is a broken heart. . .

Man killed in collision with father near home
   
A 20-year-old Godley man was killed Friday afternoon when his car and his father's pickup collided about a mile and a half from the family's home. James Daniel III was pronounced dead at the intersection of County Road 913A and 913B in northwest Johnson County, said Trooper David Riggs of the Texas Department of Public Safety. James Daniel II, 61, remained hospitalized Tuesday night with a punctured lung and broken ribs.

"Who would ever believe the odds of it happening?" said a family member, who returned a phone call to the Star-Telegram on Tuesday but said he did not want his name published. "It was a very tragic accident."

The father, who headed toward home on 913B about 1:30 p.m., stopped at the two-way sign at the intersection of 913A before turning, Riggs said. He "eased his way" into the intersection because weeds were high, making it hard to see around the corner.

His son had just left home and was driving his 2003 Nissan 350Z east on 913A, Riggs said. A witness said he appeared to be driving well over the 40 mph speed limit, Riggs said. The son's car crashed into the father's truck, he said. "It happened so fast there was nothing either of them could do," Riggs said. "The dad couldn't stop, and the son couldn't stop."

The mother arrived at the scene soon after the crash, he said, but later left to be with her husband at Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital, where he was flown by helicopter ambulance. The father was wearing his seat belt, Riggs said. His son was not.

The father recognized his son's car, Riggs said. "Of course, he was upset," Riggs said. "It was a real sad deal." The collision remains under investigation, Riggs said. "I have little doubt in my mind that if the son had been wearing his seat belt, he could have survived," Riggs said.

The younger Daniel was a graduate of Godley High School, where he played basketball on a team that narrowly lost in the regionals of the state tournament, said Ronnie Stephens, the school's athletic director, on Tuesday. "He was good basketball player and a fun-loving person," Stephens said. "A lot of people knew him around here." The Godley community is heartbroken, he said. "It was unbelievable," he said. "It happened to a real good family."

The Daniel family appreciates the support it has received, the family member said. James Daniel II "will be OK physically," he said. "But a tragedy like this is going to strike you in more ways than your health."
