Sammantha Coley says, "I said a prayer because I had this really bad feeling."
Coley admits she stood on her front porch early Sunday morning praying she did not know who or what was outlined in bright orange spray paint.
Coley adds, "Bothers me to look down there."
But her prayers were not answered on that day, as she later found out Brooke Stockwell, her friend and old highschool classmate had died.
Coley adds, "She was just a good person, always smiling, always happy, you never saw her with a frown on her face."
The smiling 19-year-old engineering student was with her on again, off again boyfriend, Vance Elmore, that fateful night.
And according to the THP, both had been drinking.
Stockwell was behind the wheel when she went off the right side of the road, hit an embankment, and rolled.
Clayton Powers, a fellow church member with Stockwell, says, "It's just a shock."
Shocked and in tears as residents clean up what remains of the 15 mailboxes that were wiped out.
The impact was so great, witnesses say, that there is a spot on the ground that actually looks like an outline of Elmore's body.
Both were thrown from the car.
Luckily, Elmore only received minor injuries.
Coley adds, "He [Elmore] treats her really good and she loved him with everything, and the same with him."
Now, the officer who worked this wreck, says in his opinion seat belts would have made a difference.
Friends tell us that is a hard statement to swallow.
Coley adds, "It makes you realize stuff like this can happen, and there are consequences for your actions."
Friends of Stockwell tell us she went to UTC
No word on when funeral services will be.
