Local Brothers killed in separate accidents minutes apart

(BOWLING GREEN, Ky.) -- If anyone talked with Warren County sheriff's deputy Andy McDowell long enough, the conversation invariably turned to his two sons, friends said. On Wednesday, McDowell lost both sons in separate traffic crashes within a few minutes.
Rory McDowell, 23, and Cory McDowell, 21, were pronounced dead early Wednesday a couple of miles from the home they shared with their father in southern Kentucky.
Authorities said the father had always doted on his sons. "That's all he talked about was his boys," said sheriff's department Sgt. Tim Meyer. "He lived for his boys."
Andy McDowell was not on duty at the time but was taken to Rory's crash. He later was driven past Cory's fiery crash, not knowing his younger son was involved in it.
"You take the most unimaginable hell that a parent could be told and double that," Warren County Deputy Coroner Dwayne Lawrence said.
The father told authorities he had been talking with Rory McDowell on cell phones about the time of the crash, said Capt. Brent Brown with the Warren County sheriff's department. Brown said that might have been a factor in the crash, as well as excessive speed on a narrow road.
The brothers were about five miles apart when they were pronounced dead at the crash sites, Lawrence said. Both died of massive trauma. The crashes remained under investigation, and authorities didn't know whether Cory was aware his brother had been in a crash.
