Night collision
According to Jimmy Xidous, owner of John St. Pub where Armstrong played regularly, he was a friendly person, full of life. May people are shocked at what happened.
Armstrong was in a vehicle that plowed through a fence and crashed against a house along Russell St according to the witnesses. They saw Armstrong stumble out of the vehicle, shouted for help and collapsed nearby. A second man was seen running away down Russell St.
The police evidence markers lead from the vehicle to a yard in front of an apartment building where a strip of blood is seen where Armstrong collapsed.
According to Cyndy Recker, who lives nearby, she thought the driver in the vehicle was impaired. She heard what sounded like a loud argument coming from the vehicle and watched as it crashed into the house.
