This is a picture of the SUV that struck and killed my friend Zachary Manago on December 17, 2010 and the other picture is the last picture I took of Zach before we departed on our island ride that night. I’ve withheld this photo until the trial was over and now it finally is. Two days after the accident five of us decided to go looking for the vehicle that may have hit Zach. We didn’t know what to expect but we were hopeful enough to try and search for something. After about an hour or so of searching we stumbled upon this vehicle and we immediately knew this was the one. This was the one that almost got away.

We called the detectives immediately to come down to look at the SUV and not even 45 minutes after we found the vehicle a tow-truck arrives. We thought the detectives called in the tow-truck to take the SUV back to the station but it wasn’t. He was called in by Douglas to take the car to a body shop because apparently he told the tow company that he hit a “pig” on his way home. When I found that out I got the meanest chill down my spine. Imagine if we came any later, that vehicle would have been gone, getting fixed up at a body shop to make as if nothing ever happened.

I don’t know how we found the vehicle or why we did, but there is a reason for everything. Maybe Zach was watching over us or we struck some very good luck I don’t know, but I’m just glad we found the vehicle and I’m glad there is closure for everyone now. We all miss you Zach and we think about you everyday. Your good vibes continue to live on through all of us ZMM<3 Ride in Paradise buddy.

Please be more aware when driving everyone we don’t need any more accidents like this.
