A Marine Corps Veteran from Massachusetts Was Killed In A Car Crash After Visiting His Newborn Daughter In The Hospital

The following is from the Marine Corps Times:

BARNSTABLE, Mass. — A Marine Corps veteran from Massachusetts who was returning from a hospital after visiting with his wife and newborn daughter has died in a head-on car crash on Cape Cod.

Barnstable police say 32-year-old Kevin Quinn, of Mashpee, was driving on Route 28 shortly after midnight on Saturday when his SUV collided with a vehicle that was headed in the opposite direction.

The driver of the other vehicle, 22-year-old Mickey Rivera, of Fall River, also died in the crash, and a female passenger was seriously injured.

Friends say Quinn, a Marine veteran who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan, had just spent the evening with his wife, Kara, and their first child, Logan, who had been born on Wednesday.

What a horrific story. I cannot even begin to imagine what’s going through this young mother’s mind. One of the most joyful days of your life followed by an absolute nightmare scenario. Obviously, our thoughts are with Kara but let’s help her more than that. Here’s a fund that has been set up on her behalf.
