Terrence had recently left the county to visit family members in Michigan, including his 19-year-old brother, Sean Harris, of Detroit. He had planned to stay in the Detroit area until July 22, visiting relatives and catching up with old friends. During the visit, both brothers were passengers in a car that collided with a train.

He drove a Black Ford Fusion around the bars in attempt to beat the train, and into the path of the oncoming Amtrak instantly killing himself and his four friends.
A surveillance video released by police showed that Broughton's car never slowed down as it approached the crossing. Broughton drove right past a stopped SUV that was waiting for the train before driving around the bars into the train's path

Eddie Dillen Gross 17, of Taylor,
and his brother, Sean Harris 18, of Taylor.
