Dutchman amongst SXSW crash victims

35-year-old Dutchman, Steven Craenmehr, was one of the two fatalities Thursday morning, when a drunk driver drove through a barrier and into a crowd, injuring dozens, five critical, in Austin Texas.

The people were gathered at the concert hall 'The Mohawk' for shows of the annual internet and music festival SXSW, short for 'South by southwest." Craenmehr was at the festival for his work with Massive Music. The Austin police chief announced the police want to prosecute the driver for two murders. SXSW started out as a small music festival in Austin in 1987, but has grown into a mega festival over the years.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our close friend and colleague Steven Craenmehr at SXSW
