Drake Linn was riding in the passenger seat of his grandfather’s pickup truck
last week, going about 70 mph as they towed a boat along Interstate 75 in
Dalton, Ga.

The grandfather, Hugh Cox, 68, was chatting on the phone with a co-worker when
suddenly something was very wrong. Cox stopped talking and looked dazed. Drake
called out to his grandfather and asked whether he was all right, but Cox did
not answer. He was no longer conscious.
