Andrew Martinez 1983-2009 RIP

I am very sad to announce that our Great beloved friend and Drummer Andrew Martinez AKA Andy DeMize AKA Mr. Pink AKA Little Guy, past away early this morning Sunday January 11, 2009 as a result of a terrible car accident in Fullerton, Orange County California. My thoughts and Condolences go out to his Family and Everybody that knew Andrew. There is no words to describe the shock...... Andrew was probably the most loveable guy I ever met and truely the only person I've met in my life that was loved and liked by everybody met. It's just typical Andrew to pull off this "rockstar death" way too early. I have no idea how Newcastle Beer will be able to continue to stay in business and I encourage everybody that knew Andrew, was a fan of his work with his bands, to drink one, two or many Newcastles in his honor. I can just hear him from where ever he is now, say: "I've done worse".................All I can reply to that Andy is:"Dude it's gonna be hard to top this one Little Guy". I will also like to send my condolences to Family and Friends of Chuy, who like Andrew was a fatal victim of this accident. I didn't really knew Chuy but any friend of Andrew is my friend.

Two killed, two hurt when car careens off 57 freeway
Car ignites trees; driver and a passenger arrested in Fullerton crash.

FULLERTON – Two people are dead and two critically injured after an early morning crash off the 57 freeway south of Imperial Highway, Fullerton Fire Operations Chief Gary Dominguez said. Freeway lanes were intermittently shut down and traffic tied up until 11 a.m.

The vehicle was traveling southbound on the 57 freeway when the driver lost control, went over an embankment and hit a tree. The car burst into flames, igniting a grove of eucalyptus trees. The driver and another passenger either were ejected or fled the scene, officials said.

Firefighters responded to reports of a fire in eucalyptus trees at 4:40 a.m. and found the car with the two dead occupants at the base of the trees along a strawberry field, Dominguez said.
The driver later called 911 from a nearby strawberry field seeking medical attention, according to CHP Sgt. Paul Pines, who was investigating the accident at the scene. The driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI; the driver and the surviving passenger, who also was arrested, were taken to UCI Medical Center. Dominguez said they were listed in critical condition.

According to Pines, the vehicle was so badly twisted and shredded it was barely recognizable as a vintage Chevy Nova.

"I've never seen a car like this," he said. "As for the condition of the car and people in it, pretty bad."
