The worst part about this news is that Bob Clark never got to make another movie on the level of A Christmas Story and that his last film was Baby Geniuses 2.

Lived, and reportedly sustained only minor injuries, which often seems to be the case with the drunkards involved in car wrecks fatal to those in the other vehicle.

I always thought he had one more "Black Christmas" or "Christmas Story" in him. He will be missed.

Death penalty for all drunk drivers should be the law. If it was my family member that was killed, that fucker would be dead soon.

stupid drunkers, what is the matter with people. can't piss straight or hold it together, but always find their way behind the wheel, which almost every times ends in disaster.
I think the court should give this one a chair!!!

Fuck man, can you imagine the loss man, plus his son man, who had his life ahead, and just like that, it's gone because of some @@**9)(**&^%$#$&*
I'm pissed man, fuckin pissed of this senseless loss of lives.
MAY THE REST IN PEACE

Actually his last film was Now & Forever which wasn't really a whole lot better. This really is to bad I hate drunk drivers, A Christmas Story was great, one of the all time best Christmas movies and the one that I watch every year. RIP.

Death penalty for drunk drivers involved in a fatal crash will probably happen before I die.

Sadly I think not...too many politicians seem to be big fans of it. Ted Kennedy...I'm looking at you.

Have you noticed that most of the time the kind of people who like to get drunk and kill people in their cars just happen to choose the largest most inbred red-neck 4x4 SUV they can get their hands on?
Over here (Australia) he would be back on the road in six months. I hope he gets his ass so badly porked in prison!

Interesting. Many news organizations "forgot" to mention that this drunk driver was 3X over California alcohol limit at time of the loss and he was an illegal Mexican alien who has had prior arrests yet was never deported. Hmm....gotta love the santuary city policies everywhere in the U.S.

It is sad. Everytime now that I watch "A Christmas Story" during the Christmas season, this incident will come to mind.

I did a film with Bob and hoped to do more. He was a very kind and gentle man who didn't deserve such a tragic end, nor did his son. His humor and infectious smile spread through the crew and made each day on set something to look forward to. RIP, Bob. You were a kind and loyal man! Thank you for the time we shared.
