Couple That Escaped Las Vegas Massacre Dies in Car Crash

A married couple who survived the Oct. 1 shooting in Las Vegas that killed 58 people died just weeks later in a car crash not far from their home in Murietta, Calif. 

Dennis Carver and his wife, Lorraine, were at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas when Stephen Paddock opened fire on the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay and Resort Casino, the Los Angeles Times reports. 

Dennis Carver jumped on top of his wife to protect her from the gunfire, and during a lull they got up and ran to safety, escaping unharmed. Just over two weeks later, though, the couple was driving less than a mile from their home at about 11pm on Oct. 16 when they went off the roadway and crashed. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
