Relatives of the Hatton Highway crash victims want answers in Monday’s crash that left nine people dead.
“I want to know what really happened,” said Michael Hall Sr., who is from Jamaica but in Connecticut at the moment.
His son, 14-year-old Michael Hall Jr., was one of the children killed .
“I want to know if it was the vehicle’s fault, if it was the driver’s fault,” Michael Hall Sr. said. “What was happening? Was my son, what he was doing in the car, if they were laughing, or they were talking, I want to know all these things.”
He said they were on a summer trip to be with family in Connecticut, and that a group traveled to Florida for a birthday.
His brother Jorden Hall was the only survivor.
Michael Hall Sr. said Jorden Hall’s sister flew in from Connecticut to be with their brother.
He spoke to Jorden Hall on Thursday as he was in the hospital and is having a hard time processing what happened.
” I want to respect his feelings , because right now, he’s not in the right frame to tell us , he’s not focusing,” Michael Hall Sr. “He’s still in that mind frame where it is traumatic for him. At times he will talk to you good and then he will come back to that frame of mind, where he will break down and start to cry.”
