Parents of 18-year-old killed in car crash earlier this week speak out about loss and road safety
UTAH () —An 18-year-old tragically lost his life earlier this week in a car crash, and his loss is felt by many, including his parents. July 8th is a date that changed everything for Austin and Starling Knight. Utah Highway Patrol says their son, 18-year-old Bo Knight, died after losing control while driving north on state Route 68 near mile marker 14 in southern Utah County. PREVIOUS: One killed in Redwood Road crash near Utah Lake 'I could feel he was gone when we were just waiting for confirmation. I could feel he wasn't here anymore,' Starling Knight said. 'He got too fast, he's not making the corner and gets too far and goes across the line and is now on the other shoulder of the road, he has his seat belt on and there's a big power pole he just missed as he tried to bring it back over,' Austin Knight said. Starling Knight says she is doing whatever she can to feel close to him again. 'His room is right across from ours, and I've slept in it the last couple of nights, and just he's not there, and so to see that empty room, you miss just seeing your child,' Knight said. Bo was gearing up to go to Mountainland Technical College to pursue a career in the medical field. His parents said he was spunky, had a heart of gold, and was passionate about dancing and gymnastics. His mom said he was a peacemaker in the household and that he had a giving heart. His dad said he was a friend to all, and he would be the first to stick up for anyone who was being unfairly judged His parents are using their unimaginable loss to encourage others to be safe on the roads, saying speed and distraction are killers. While Bo's parents continue to grieve, his dad said one thing will always remain true, 'We just love him, and we hope he knows how much he was loved'. We are in the 100 deadliest days on Utah's roads, and this acts as a reminder to be careful out on the roads. The GoFundMe link is here. Alexa McFadden contributed to this article.
