Girlfriend of man killed in bus accident relates incident
A co-worker and girlfriend of one of the two men who were killed during a July 11 sightseeing bus tour, calls the event a "horror movie" and remembers the man she planned to marry.
Josh Stoll, 24, of Sterling and Mike Feiock, 35, of Centreville, were killed when their heads struck an overpass while on a double-decker tour bus on July 11.
Megan Levi, 24, a landscape designer who worked with both men and was dating Feiock, said she did not attend the company-sponsored outing to the Nationals baseball game that evening because her best friend from high school was in town and was not a baseball fan.
"I got the call from a fellow co-worker while I was at dinner in Cleveland Park, and I raced down to the crime scene in a cab and then a cop took me to the hospital where I saw my boyfriend. The doctor told me his injury was unrecoverable. He said that from the injury, he estimated that the bus had been traveling 60-65 miles per hour when Mike hit his head. It was a horror movie."
Levi said that Feiock remained alive until relatives could travel from all over the country to be by his side. "He stayed alive and breathing until they could all say goodbye and then when he died, I felt like his soul went through my body because I just fell to the ground, crying."
According to Levi, she and Feiock planned to marry, after starting a secret inter-office romance in February that was soon discovered by Brooke Small, the fiancée of Josh Stoll.
"We got caught making out in a car in the parking lot," Levi said. "It was funny really. We were all family. That is just the way we all were. We didn't just all work together, we were all very close and one big family."
The Brickman Group, where Levi and the two men worked, chartered three private jets to take 21 employees to Feiock's funeral in Penyan, N.Y., and then bring them back in time to attend Stoll's wake in Loudoun County the same evening. "I just can't tell them how much that meant to me and to all of us," Levi said.
