Right now, a young woman is recovering following a crash that killed her boyfriend.

Nobles looked out at the crash site where his friend took his last breath.

“The only way I could really find peace with it is to see the last place he was on this earth,” he said.

Police said around 5 a.m. Friday, a car traveling down Townsend Boulevard for some reason left the road and crashed.

The driver was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive.
