Terrible accident - Well told story

I recently heard a guy on This American Life, an NPR weekend weekly, telling the story of how, when he was in High School and was a young driver, a girl from his school rode her bike right in front of his car and died from accident. He went through some crazy shit, in the short time following the accident, before he left for college. But the story went beyond that, well into his adulthood. It was, somehow, a good story to listen to.
