FF Josh John’s wife Amanda, 3 year old son Ryan and 11 month old daughter Kaitlyn was killed by a person that was arrested for DUI. The accident happened around 8:00pm, while Amanda was driving southbound on route 47 at Gardner road. The car driven by Ann Getz failed to stop at a stop sign while driving west bound and "T-boned" Amanda and the kids. The two children were ejected from the car seats and out of the vehicle.
