In the seconds before his death, Antwaun Rollerson was thinking of others, just as he had throughout his life.
When the car he was driving fishtailed Friday afternoon, Rollerson, 24, turned the wheel, taking the brunt of the crash while protecting the passenger side, where his 16-year-old brother was sitting.
“He looked at me and turned the wheel to the right,” Jarrell Walker said.
The car landed on Rollerson’s side, killing him on impact.
