And I live my life without my daughter because of it," Neil adds. "The sadness and despair that is with me every day, I can't even put into words," Jennifer says. He did anyway, driving for about three miles the wrong way on the parkway before slamming into the Flynns' limousine and tearing their lives apart. On the night of the Flynns' wedding, Heidgen was drinking at a friend's party in a house on Long Island. He had a blood alcohol content over three times the legal limit. Martin Heidgen, a 24-year-old insurance salesman, was driving the pickup truck. And all that was left of Kate Marie was her head, that I was able to take," she remembers. "I reached for Kate and she was on the floor. She's just gotta be hurt real bad.' But I didn't know what Jen was looking at, what Jen saw." "And I kept saying, 'No she can't be dead. "The first thing I heard was my wife screaming, 'Neil, Katie's dead,'" Katie father's Neil remembers. Virtually everyone suffered severe, life-threatening injuries, and then there was Katie. The limousine was so mangled that members of the Flynn family had to be cut out of the wreckage. Stanley Rabinowitz, the limo driver, was killed instantly.
Both cars were totally destroyed, but that was the least of it. It happened so quickly I remember saying, 'Oh my God, we're gonna get hit.'" "I watched this single light come toward me and all of a sudden it went from a single light to a double light. And I had to think for a second of what that was, 'cause that, it was just out of place," Denise remembers. Chris and Denise Tangney, Katie's grandparents, saw the truck coming from the back of the limo. But as they were being driven home on a parkway on Long Island, a pickup truck came barreling straight at them in the wrong direction. The family had hired a limo to take them home from the wedding so they could dance and party with no worries.
