Twice Broken: A Mother’s Unimaginable Grief After Losing Her Twins in a Hit-and-Run

What began as a quiet summer evening walk turned into a nightmare that shattered the heart of an entire town. On July 11, 2025, Mollie Egold of Albion, Maine, was strolling down Hussey Road with her two-year-old twin sons, Bradley and Noah, when their lives were ripped apart in an instant. A speeding driver struck them from behind and fled the scene without stopping. Bradley died at the scene. Noah, barely clinging to life, was airlifted to the hospital—only to be declared brain dead days later. With unbearable sorrow, Mollie and her family made the heartbreaking decision to let him go.

The driver, 44-year-old Benjamin Lancaster, was later arrested and faces serious charges, including manslaughter and aggravated operating under the influence. But no punishment can undo the damage. Mollie, still in the ICU with multiple injuries and surgeries ahead, must now face an impossible future without her sons. Loved by her coworkers and cherished by her neighbors, Mollie isn’t just fighting for her life—she’s enduring a grief no parent should have to survive, and heartbreak that most can barely imagine.
