Wes Rucker

Vols reporter Rucker has been killed in a car accident. Really hated to hear that. Had a toddler with another one on the way.

I just saw that.

He was my primary Twitter follow for in-game info.

Very sad.

Terrible.

There was a bad wreck on i-40 in west Knoxville yesterday around 5. I've not seen it announced but its likely that was him.

That was it. It was either 4 or 5 cars

Terrible deal. I know a lot of Vol fans didn't care for him but I always followed his stuff.

Horrible situation. Always enjoyed the engagement from Wes on the 247 boards the week leading up to the third Saturday in October. He had a great sense of humor and understood how to dish out and take the friendly insults better than most I've encountered. Prayers for his family.

Terrible situation for his family.

His Vol content was superior, especially in-game.

For any interested in helping his pregnant wife and young son, there has been a gofundme set up for their family:

Such a horrible and tragic event. Hug your loved ones and tell them you love them. 43 is way too young.
