Randy Allen, the owner of ALL-EN One BBQ Soul Food says he learned about the crash from an employee who called in to let him know she was running late due to the traffic back up caused by the accident.
“I mean my heart was just pounding, it still is," Allen said. "My heart goes out to the parents, as well as the kids.”
