Two Kentucky brothers died in unrelated auto accidents within a half hour of one another. Rory and Cory McDowell both wrecked on Wednesday morning, near their home in Warren County, Kentucky.

Rory McDowell lost control of his pickup truck coming out of a curve and the vehicle struck a tree shortly before 1:30 a.m., authorities said. There was no visible sign of alcohol involved, sheriff's Capt. Brent Brown said Thursday.

The father told authorities he had been talking with Rory McDowell on a cell phone about the time of the crash, Brown said. He said that might have been a factor in the crash, as well as excessive speed on a narrow road. He had no further details.

About 15 minutes after the first crash, Cory McDowell's 1984 Porsche veered off another rural road, went into a spin, struck a tree and burst into flames, authorities said.

Talk about horrifying coincidences.

its in bad taste, but can you picture Rory in the afterlife

"Man Cory why you gotta always outdo what i did! bursting into flames was so unneccesary"

a bit twisted, but amusing none the less. i'm sure they're arguing in the afterlife about who did it better.
but how sad for their families, i'm sure the family thought it was a sick joke when they got the 2nd call. frown very sad.

I find it even more odd that they were both one-car accidents. surreal
