Death XI: HEADLIGHTS
THE GREAT FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST DIES IN HIT AND RUN
Lieutenant Jean Havoc. — One of two military personal struck by a prototype SUV in outside of Central Command Friday afternoon was recovering Saturday. His 16-year-old coworker the well renowned Fullmetal Alchemist was killed that day.
Edward Elric died after the collision on Command Road, near the train station, around 3:10 p.m.
Jean, 26, suffered serious injuries and was taken to Central Hospital. He had improved to good condition late Saturday morning.
Jean Havoc, 26, and Edward Elric, 16, were crossing Command Road to get to a fast food restaurant at about 3 p.m. when they were hit by the gray SUV.
Police said they did not expect to file charges against the driver of the SUV. Through a friend, the driver said his thoughts and prayers were with the boy's families.
Elric's younger brother, Alphonse, said the soldiers, employed under General Roy Mustang at Central Command HQ, had gone out after practice and was returning across the road at the time of the collision.
"This is a very dangerous intersection," he said obviously distressed. "There have been many accidents on this one. I told my brother to be careful. He never listens."
Riza Hawkeye, who works with the two, said she regularly saw the young boy try to cross. She and others voiced a hope that he would listen before something like this happened.
"He was a good boy," She said. "Just hardheaded and thought that he could survive anything."
Roy Mustang said that he had no comment on Major Elric's death.
The country of Amestris has lost a great hero of the people, but it is hoped that military and civilians alike take care while crossing the street.
