On October 25, a Southern California father, Adam Bouvet, 50, was fatally struck by an out-of-control vehicle while shielding his family in a heroic act. Mr. Bouvet was in Dallas, Texas with his wife, Tracy, and their daughter visiting their eldest daughter and grandchild at the time of the incident.
According to reports, moments after sharing a family meal, a vehicle lost control, hopped over a curb, and crashed into them during their walk home. Multiple sources confirmed that Adam Bouvet pushed his family away from the imminent danger, taking the full impact. The severity of the collision left Adam with a traumatic brain injury, for which he underwent emergency surgery. Despite medical intervention, Adam later succumbed to his injuries in the ICU. Tracy Bouvet sustained minor injuries while the two daughters and grandchild were unharmed.
Adam and Tracy Bouvet were co-owners of The Mill Restaurant in Murrieta, a renowned local establishment which they ran for the last 17 years. The news of Adams sudden demise left friends, family, and the community in shock. Mourners gathered at The Mill partaking in a memorial adorned with flowers, cards and mementos. Those who knew Adam fondly remembered him as a kind, funny, and generous man.
Local businesses, including restaurants, galvanized to raise funds to cover the medical and funeral expenses for the family. A GoFundMe page has also been set up to provide financial aid to the Bouvet family, emphasizing on the commendable legacy Adam has left behind in his community.
