NYPost: An Alaskan couple devastated after
officials told them their son had been killed in a car crash got the happy
shock of their lives when they drove to his home — and he answered the door.
State troopers mistakenly told the parents of
Justin Priest, 29, that he had died in a traffic accident in Juneau, the
Alaska Dispatch News reported.
But when Jay and Karen Priest drove to their
son’s South Anchorage home to break the tragic news to his gal pal early
Thursday, their bearded offspring came to the door instead.
“Justin?” his dad shouted. “It’s Justin! Praise
Jesus, we thought you were dead!”
The mix-up occurred because the actual accident
victim had the same first and last name as their son — but with a different
age, birth date and middle name.
“I was shocked and astonished and had to keep
grabbing him and hugging him,” Jay told the newspaper. “I never cried so much
in all my life.”
