18-year-old Steven Bennett died early Thursday morning in an automobile accident along Interstate 70. His father works in construction and has been out of work for a year, according to a family friend.

"I can't imagine as a parent losing a child. Everybody is affected by the hard times, but the worst thing would not be able to bury your son properly," said family friend Andrea Walker.
