CBS 58's Hometown Athlete: Powerful documentary chronicles Howard Moore family tragedy
WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- "One of my teammates, Chris Conger, was calling my cellphone. Early in the morning, which was not usual," Andy Kilbride says.
It's the call no one wants to get.
"Worst moments of my life, sitting there with Howard and Jerell, and Howard telling me what happened," Kilbride says.
In May of 2019, Andy Kilbride and members of the Wisconsin Badgers family awoke to the tragic news. A drunk driver hit the car of Assistant Coach Howard Moore and his family head-on. Moore suffered severe burns, losing his wife and daughter in the horrific accident.

"It's hard, Lance, to wrap your head around how a guy like this, who's an incredible human being, to this day, how that befalls him and his family," Kilbride says.
Later, Moore had a heart attack during his recovery.
"I can't wrap my brain around what an incredible human being he is and what, you know, tragedy, two tragedies that befell upon him," Kilbride says.
Thursday, Feb. 12, the powerful documentary "A Road at Night" debuts.
"Anytime I'm starting to feel a little sorry for myself, I quickly remember that I have an incredible opportunity, not only for myself and my family, but I have an opportunity to help Howard," Kilbride says.
A tough subject. But when another drunk driver affects and kills members of an innocent family, it needs to be talked about and dealt with.
"Hey, the next time you think about, you know, driving home after you've been drinking, just call an Uber," Kilbride says.
