Bad stuff

I think you might know this guy named Julio Prieto. He was featured in your magazine in 2004. On Feb. 5, 2005, five friends were forever lost due to a horrifying accident. Tammy Uresti, Julio Prieto, Andrew Tibbits, Matthew Escemilla, and Evan Khun were at a party in Monterey but then it was cut short. Then Tammy decided to carry the party to Julio Prieto's home so on the way home, going north on Highway 101, she missed the turn to Prieto's house and tried to make an illegal U-turn across the double yellow lines just before the concrete barriers that separated the north and southbound lanes. When the other driver hit the passenger side by the SUV (driven by the other people) the Geo Prizm carrying Tammy Uresti (17), Julio Prieto (18),Andrew Tibbits (19), Evan Khun (21), and Matt Escemilla (18), was crushed with the passenger door almost touching the driver's side door, according to the California Highway Patrol. There is a beautiful mural that one of my friends made (of the five deceased) at Ramsy skatepark in Watsonville, CA. Julio Prieto was an Aptos High School graduate, class of 2004. Julio was an awesome artist and caricaturist, and loved to paint large and colorful murals. His other passion was skating with his friends. RIP Julio Prieto.
