As the lone survivor of a car accident that took the lives of two of his friends in the fall of 2000, Pierre Salmon spent many of the days that followed asking two simple questions.
“Why am I still here? Why didn’t you take me?”
Salmon, a 2000 graduate of North Greenville University, shared his story in a recent documentary.
