I am Tyra's uncle and would like to thank the driver for stopping and cooperating with the investigation. This does not always happen in many situations and typically leave the family of the victim in anger, outrage and looking for closure. We, the family realize that this was a horrible accident, and without knowing all of the details, we truly appreciate knowing that the driver was not a coward but stopped and helped to resolve the accident. Thank you again and feel free to reach out to me, Ronnie Henley, Ron.henley@hotmail.com.
