Emily Wacker lives right next to the intersection and says she’ll never forget it.

“I looked out my window and two cars were on fire. I called 911 and ran out here and the flames were very high,” Wacker said.

Investigators collected blood samples from Cochlin, examined crashed details, and even went back to the sushi restaurant he had been drinking at before the crash.

“At impact the vehicle was traveling at approximately 100 miles per hour. The speed limit out there is 45 miles per hour,” Sgt. Gary Knight with Oklahoma City Police said.

According to Knight, Cochlin’s blood alcohol content was two and a half times the legal limit at the time.

As Cochlin recovered from his injuries, the victims’ parents began to mourn.

Luke’s father told News 9 off camera his family is healing through faith, community and time.
