A fatal car accident this weekend takes the life of a Fremont County man.

Early Saturday morning shortly after 1 a.m., a Fremont County deputy found Dalin Waddell thrown from his car after he had crashed just south of St. Anthony on Lower Parker Road.

The 19-year-old was flown to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center and put on life support. But his injuries were so bad he was not able to hang on and was pronounced dead Saturday night.

"We're struggling really bad with that," says Waddell's sister, Kendra Beddes.  "We're all pulling together. We each have our moments and we're just trying to be strong for each other.

But Waddell's troubles may have begun Friday night. He reportedly went a party and got into a fight. Waddell then left the fight and got in his car traveling alone out of St. Anthony.

"There was a fight," says Sheriff Len Humphries of the Fremont County Sheriff's Office. "And what we are investigating is whether or not there is anything related to the fight that may have been relevant to the traffic accident itself."

The sheriff's office is looking into what may have lead up to the crash. But Waddell's family is looking to remember the person for who he was.

"Amazing," his sister exclaims. "He had a big smile, big beautiful eyes, the kindest heart, absolutely adored everybody. He would do anything for anybody. He absolutely loved riding his dirt bike. His motto was go big or go home. And he lived up to it.

Now his family is asking for the community to listen.

"We want the violence to stop," says Waddell's sister. "We want justice to be served. And if you kids loved Dalin like you say you do, please make it right, please."

As of Monday night, the sheriff's office have no suspects and are trying to figure out if the events before the accident are a contributing factor to Waddell's death.
