Neighbors Turn Tragedy into Road Safety Hope
20 Oct
Summary
- Two grieving fathers reformed their band to raise road safety funds.
- Their song, 'Two Lost Souls,' captures the devastating impact of loss.
- The initiative aims to encourage safer driving and vehicle checks.
In the village of Lerryn, Cornwall, musicians Andrew Boraston and Darren Endean have reunited their band, The Lost Boyz, driven by the profound grief from the loss of their sons in separate fatal car crashes. Andrew's son, Tim, died in July 2022 at age 22 due to steering failure. Darren's son, Kyle, and another occupant of a Mini Cooper tragically passed away in October 2025 near the same village. These inquests are pending.
Now neighbors and friends of 30 years, they have reformed their band, previously retired due to time commitments. Their new song, 'Two Lost Souls,' written by Darren, expresses the immense impact of their sons' deaths on their families and community, likening the aftermath to a tsunami. The song and accompanying tour are dedicated to raising funds for the road safety charity Brake, hoping to encourage young drivers to be more cautious and promote regular vehicle safety checks.
