Please pray for this young man. His name is Bryce Montgomery. He was airlifted to Grady. Bryce was scheduled to ship out and serve his country on the first of the month.

#3 Tommy on 07/03/09 at 09:53 PM

Get your facts straight before making a post like that. The family had just got back home from a family vacation an hour earlier and he was headed over to a friends house.

#4 cause? on 07/03/09 at 10:24 PM

So Tommy B. what was the cause of the accident?

#5 Wrong answer on 07/03/09 at 10:36 PM

Mr. Tommy B, you should never use that other site demanding something be removed on this site. This site is run by professionals and not two want to be's. Mr. Geiger is getting a lot of flack from someone who thinks he is really the person of his initials or John the Baptist.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

#7 anonymous on 07/04/09 at 08:47 AM

Tommy, quit trying to cover up for your next door neighbor's bad driving. The kid was probably having second thoughts about going off with the Big Boys.

#8 Kim H. on 07/04/09 at 11:13 AM

I see your too ashamed to post your real name as you should be. You know absoutely nothing about this young man and you should keep your mouth shut. This newspaper should not allow crap such as this to post here.

#9 not crap on 07/04/09 at 12:00 PM

If it was crap they would not allow it on here. You don't think this paper would put in something not true? They could care less what you think it is all about numbers.

#10 Full agreement on 07/04/09 at 12:02 PM

The other site should keep it's nose out of this site. Those two people want total control like a monopoly on county sites. They are upset because they can't run with the big professional boys.

Anonymous, Be a man or woman enough to stop covering up - by not using your real name. How can you say bad things about a young man you do not even know?

#12 anonymous on 07/04/09 at 02:05 PM

You don't get to decide what is crap and what isn't. We here have degrees in journalism.

#13 still ridin' on 07/04/09 at 02:06 PM

There goes Daddy's car.

#14 ... on 07/04/09 at 02:21 PM

I cant believe you people are fighting over this. Everyone just needs to pray he will be ok.

#15 Tommy on 07/04/09 at 02:45 PM

I don't think that I demanded or asked for the post to be removed. Go back and read again. As for what was in Bryce's mind or the reason for the acident, I don't know. I have asked for you to keep him and his family in your prayers.

#16 Lynn A on 07/04/09 at 03:14 PM

Are you kidding me, "not crap?" Without this paper, we would have no idea what was really going on "behind closed doors." If he was so concerned about numbers, he would publish the sugar-coated "crap" that other media does. Instead he prints the facts, regardless. Notice, no speculations were included in the article, just in the posts here. Keep up the good work, Walter.

#17 all about money on 07/04/09 at 05:08 PM

Grady and Life Flight are sure making big bucks off Pike County. Who determines fly or not? Think there might be some kickbacks involved?

#18 concerned mom on 07/04/09 at 06:04 PM

You are a jerk. What if that was your son wrapped around a tree? Who are you to say he was a coward and had second thoughts about the military? You're the coward. Post your name and let all of Pike County know who you are. You are probably afraid that someone will say something to you and call you what you are. I don't know Bryce personally, but I know you are out of your league. I don't care how a child drives, he doesn't deserve to be hurt twice. Once in the accident and then by someone like you.

#19 >>> on 07/05/09 at 11:43 AM

Welcome to the country. There is not enough to do in Pike County to keep the natives of P.C. entertained. Everybody knows what color everybody else's poop is and they think it is their right to get into other people's business. If they had a real life they wouldn't have time to do write in these forums. Pike County, for crying out loud, get lives. Stop showing your ignorance by saying stupid things. Pray for your neighbors. Left them up to God. Stop trying to prove that you have no heart or brain and let people live their lives.

#20 anonymous on 07/05/09 at 02:59 PM

Does anyone know how Bryce is doing?

#21 Tracie M. Davis on 07/05/09 at 08:08 PM

#24 Tracie M. Davis on 07/05/09 at 11:11 PM

YOU KNOW ,THAT THING, THAT OUR FORFATHERS ALSO FOUGHT FOR, OR DID YOU USE YOUR FREEDOM OF FREE SCHOOLING?

So if you PEACHES and any one else wants to do something positive try this....... prayer first...then maybe donate some meals....or change for coffee....or set up an account for the stress of large hospital bills or gas or anything,,,just please use your time better than PEACHES!!!!! This is the first time I have ever been on this site and like I always say," GOD always puts me where he wants me to be." May God bless you and your family tonight and Dear Lord watch after and be with Bryce and his family and forever be with the Band of Brothers where ever they go...Amen..Momma-T

Get well soon bryce. We are all praying for you and know you will make it through. You are such a strong person and we will always be by your side. Best regards to the family I know this is a very hard time. God is with you at all times.

#27 Hummer on 07/06/09 at 11:00 AM

The US Army vehicle Hummer can take crashes like this without as much damage. Looks like this one is a total. We all hope the young recruit is better.

#28 Anonymous on 07/06/09 at 01:39 PM

Sounds like the ones making the ugly comments needs Jesus and our prayers as much as Bryce does. It is an absolute shame that there are people in the world that have such low self esteem that they thrive on other's pain and unfortune. I am in awe.
I have prayed for Bryce and the family since the minute that I heard about this and it looks as though God is hearing our prayers!! Now maybe he will hear our prayers and speak to the heart of these guys that are obviously unhappy souls in search of making other people's lives miserable just because they are miserable. God Bless You!

#29 Anonymous on 07/06/09 at 02:49 PM

glad to know that he is improving,just to let you all know. the heelicopter landed in my yard to air lift him,while everything was going on we were relly praying for him.we will still be praying for him as well as the family.
i relly hope that things will turn out for the best for him,we all know that the BRAVE ONES are why we have the freedom that we have every day.THANKS TO ALL OF OUR MILITARY PEOPLE.
god bless them ALL.

#30 get real on 07/06/09 at 05:17 PM

The kid has never served a day, never fought for freedom and has not even gone through basic training. The drop out rate in basic for those who cannot do the drill is 18%. Don't include this kid in with the real hero's who right now are in harms way. Six died today and they were not driving Dad's car into a tree.

#31 know your facts is how to be real on 07/06/09 at 05:48 PM

Bryce has served weekends. Know your facts before running your mouth you will get far. :)

#32 concerned citizen on 07/06/09 at 06:08 PM

May God be with this young man and his family. I will continue to pray for his recovery.

#33 Brandon R on 07/06/09 at 06:14 PM

your right Mrs. Traciprat for him. when i first met him he was real nice to me and the people that have been talking can go to hell lol yeah lets keep our prayers with him and his family love ya

#34 fact on 07/06/09 at 06:31 PM

You are right. Serving weekends in Iraq are hell. Just the trip will wear you out.

#35 Anonymous on 07/06/09 at 07:04 PM

yeah he was throwing up blood but they think its old blood and he is real conbattive they had him tied to te bed because he was pulling his tubes out and he breathing on his own now which is really good. and his brain was still swelling the last time i heard

#36 ha on 07/06/09 at 11:08 PM

why dont you get off your lazy ass and go serve our country then?

#37 James on 07/07/09 at 06:44 AM

Already have, 2 years 6 months and 29 days in harms way. Never had a weekend. Never wrecked my Dad's SUV, never ran into a tree with the taxpayers equipment.

#38 concerned on 07/07/09 at 10:24 AM

Is your tree going to make it?

#39 not perfect on 07/07/09 at 11:14 AM

I am glad to see that you are mr perfect good guy and had a chance to serve. this young man has chosen to serve also, but he's not as old as you and has not had the time to do all the good deeds that you have. What do you mean by running into a tree with tax payers equip, this was a privately owned vehicle.I don't know why I am responding to you, I learned a long time ago that you can't argue with ignorance,stupidy or cold hearted people.

#40 Anonymous on 07/07/09 at 02:17 PM

Good to know that you and your family have lived a perfect life. You need to get a life if all you have to do is sit around and make ugly comments on someone else's misfortune. What a life.

#41 Anonymous on 07/07/09 at 11:42 PM

would you like a cookie for that? or do you want us to recognize you instead of praying for the recovery of a young boy who hasn't even had a chance to serve our country yet? get your ass off your shoulders, so what if it's 'daddys car', atleast we know 'daddy' is praying for him, unlike you. so why dont you do the same, since your so high and mighty from serving your two years. be a TRUE american and be concerned about people in and around your community.

#42 Anonymous on 07/07/09 at 11:47 PM

how many minutes and seconds were you there? what about milliseconds? smart ass.

#43 Fearby Ethridge on 07/08/09 at 04:18 PM

We want to thank GOD for putting his healing hands on Bryce. If not for our GOD in Heaven, Bryce would not have pulled through this far. Thank you all for the wonderful prayers that have been sent up for my grandson. We know that he is not completely out of danger, but you can hardly believe how far he has come. The outpouring of love and support from so many friends and family have helped his parents greatly. Thanks to the father and son who were following behind Bryce at the time of his accident. If he had not received medical help as soon as he did there is no telling what may have happened. GOD works in mysterious ways. Thank Goodness you were there to get help to him and to alert his parents as to what had happened. Thank you all, (Bryce's family)

#44 Just wait.. on 07/08/09 at 06:06 PM

oooo i just can't wait until i find out who you are..

#46 friend on 07/09/09 at 03:35 PM

#47 Fearby Ethridge on 07/10/09 at 08:37 AM

Thank you for asking. Bryce has been having severe headaches and bouts of nausea. He has been so blessed with his recovery thus far. Please continue to pray for him to have a complete recovery. We thank the LORD for answering our prayers.

#48 Allison on 07/14/09 at 10:46 AM

Hey, thank goodness Bryce is doing better. I just hope that this doesn't set him back on the goal that he has been working hard toward. I will pray for Bryce and his family.

#49 Tizra L. Dozier on 07/19/09 at 08:15 PM

As Bryce's Mother, I just want to thank you all for your prayers and thoughts of him. He is now doing fine and planning on a bright future in the military to serve just like his MOTHER and FATHER did. This was a freak accident and I praise the men and women of PIKE County Sheriff's Department..as well as the Medical Team on the LIFE Flight Helicopter ......and to the dear family who witnessed and aided my son...and who also promplty drove to my house to alert me....I thank you all from the bottom of my heart..!!! I also wanted to THANK all of my dear, dear friends and neighbors who rushed to our aid....May GOD bless each of you...I love you all.

*****AND FOR THE ONES WHO POSTED LITTLE NASTY COMMENTS.........I FORGIVE YOU.
My SON is ALIVE and will move forward with his future...!!!!!!

#50 Leslie on 07/28/09 at 06:55 AM
