Brian Trumble, 45, exclusively told DailyMail.com that he called his daughters Hailey, 19, and Shelby, 17, several times after they failed to return home from Seabreeze amusement park in Rochester, New York, on August 1.
After tracking them on the Find My Friends app, Brian drove a few miles to their location and found police already cordoning off the scene.
She described how she collapsed onto the bumper of her car and “couldn’t stand up” when first responders told her one of the girls in the crash had died.
Brian later learned that a firefighter had stayed by his other daughter’s side “until the very end.”
