Just to let you know I read your news everyday...thanks!

Great to hear, Barb! If there's anything you ever want more coverage of, you can let us know via the link in the lower right corner of the page.

Next time try to write a little more about the kid that died than the pets that made it out safely.

Kyle, we of course are sorry for the loss of a young man's life. Unfortuately, his name was just released to us today and we know little about him. If you knew Bryan and would like to tell us what kind of person he was, feel free to send me an email. We'd would certainly write about him.

I don't mean to bash your article or anything but you had time to interview the neighbors, did you ask any them if they even had the courtesy to check on the boy that crashed into their neighbor's home? I mean, I know it was late, scary, and not quite a joyous event, but they cared enough about the pets, I feel like they should have cared enough about the driver.

Hi Natalie, Thank you for your comment. When I was at the scene, the neighbors said they hadn't seen anyone get out of the car. The area where the crash occurred was taped off and nobody could get near the vehicle. Police and fire officials were there and would not comment on what happened to the driver. Our Ellicott City editor, Brandie Jefferson, was able to get the unfortunate news--that the accident was fatal--from an on-call official authorized to speak to the media.

Seeing the wreckage of the vehicle, I can assure you that I was extremely concerned about the driver. But nobody was speaking about it because they hadn't seen any activity around the car and nobody wants to speculate in a situation like that. I hope that helps give insight into the reporting of the incident. I echo Brandie in that we welcome any additional information about Bryan that we could use in a follow-up article in tribute to him. We at Patch extend our condolences to all those affected by the accident, especially the family and friends of Bryan Bolster. --Elizabeth

I was on the scene soon after the incident occured since I was traveling in the other direction on 103 when Mr. Bolster passed me at an EXTREMELY high rate of speed. Everyone there for the aftermath witnessed a rather upsetting and dangerous scene of carnage and I don't think anyone can be judged as callous or unconcerned. A neighbor tried valiantly to suppress the flames of the burning car with a fire extinguisher but it was way too intense - the wreck itself was basically unapproachable without the proper equipment.

My heart goes out to the young man's family and I am sincerely sorry for their loss. Although the incident is tragic, we can't hold anything against the authors of this article or anybody who was present at the scene.

I live across the street from the accident scene. I tried to save the person in the car but their legs were wedged under the dash board. I tried to pull him to safety, but could not. I also tried to put out the fire, but there was fuel everywhere. I am so thankful that the people in the house got out with their pets. All life is precious contrary to what one comment that was made. It is also far to short, even shorter for others. I fell really sorry for his family and my heart, prayers and best wishes go out to them in this most difficult time. I pray that they can make it through this as should everyone that is involved. Mr Marriot lost his house but that can be repaired/rebuilt. This young man lost his life and someone did care enough to try and rescue him.

He was a funny and clever boy I'm missing him,missing his ideas to change the world

I was also there that night when Bryan Bolster passed my friend and I going EXTREMELY fast on Montgomery Road. We went to Bonnie Branch Road to turn around while calling the police to report the high speed driver. When we turned around we saw the car had crashed into the house (I was still on the phone with the police so they were able to dispatch the fire department immediately). My call went in at 10:40 pm. I quickly got out of the car and Dave was trying extremely hard to get Bryan out. Unfortunately the gas was all over his clothes and the fire was coming his way. He was definitely a hero in my eyes. I wish we could have done something to get him out - I think about this every day! I will say he didn't survive the crash.

I think about his family and hope/ pray they are doing well, remembering the good times with their son/ brother.

Thanks so much for sharing. I also think that trying get Bryan out of the car was heroic act -- but calling the police was an important move, too. I appreciate that people are looking out for each other on the roads.

I only pray that this young man's death will be a wake-up call to drivers everywhere, young or old, that risky, aggressive driving can, and too often does, result in tragedy. If his previous irresponsible driving misadventures had taught him that lesson, he'd still be alive, his family wouldn't be suffering, another family's home wouldn't be nearly destroyed and we wouldn't be having this discussion. It's a blessing that no others were killed.

He was a great person, a great brother and a great friend of mine. I ll never forget him. He ll be with me forever in my hearth.

The house that Bryan hit was full of Marijuana....and I mean full. What ever happened about that? Were any charges ever filed? Any convictions made?

Isn't that the house of the guy that runs kyky's snowball stand just down the street from the scene

@Sarah, he was sentenced - you can read about that here: http://ow.ly/g3uoy
@Justin, I don't know. There's a little info here: http://ow.ly/g3uAO

Not a day goes by that I don't think of Bryan. I can't stress it to you enough how fun and full of life he was. How lucky am I to have had the pleasure of having him as a friend
