Topic: Death of Relic Entertainment Lead Designer

[avguste]

This is a sad week for the gaming world and for gaming communities.

Today, it was announced that Relic Entertainment Lead Designer, Brian Wood died tragically in an automobile crash on September 8th 2010.
Brian was the Senior Designer on the Company of Heroes franchise and a key member of the Relic family.
With an out-of-control Chevy Blazer bearing down on him, the 33-year old North Vancouver man braked and swerved his Subaru wagon so that he
would take the force of the head-on collision, saving his wife of five years, pregnant with their first baby.

The accident happened Friday as the Woods were making their way to a family home on Whidbey Island in Washington State.
A Chevy Blazer, with four occupants, crossed the centre line when the driver tried to take her sweater off while driving, asking the other front passenger to take the wheel at the time.
When Wood braked and swerved slightly, the Blazer continued forward, its momentum driving it over top of the Subaru, the wheels crushing the roof of the smaller car killing
Wood and causing his wife to suffer a non-life-threatening head injury as well.

I wish the best of lucks to his family and that God, or any other religious icon, (trying not to be bias to any certain religion.) will help his family with any struggles with losing Mr. Wood. God, and any other gods, bless his family.
