Wow, I can't even imagine how it feels to be the mother of that girl.
It's truly disgusting. It takes balls to get into a car drunk and race someone. Now he'll pay for his actions. Hell, the Civic driver should get the same punishment.

Way too many accidents happening lately people, pay attention to what's going on around you and don't even think about trying to get through that traffic light that just turned yellow. Deer are everywhere and I've never seen so many squirrels running around like this year. It doesn't matter what vehicle you are driving, expect the other driver to be too aggressive so be prepared to react.

Can I tell you I feel like this year I have witnessed the most aggressive driving? I got my CDL about a year ago, I can be going 55 MPH with 50,000lbs of weight and people will blow through stop sings, yields and merges to get in front of me. Last week had a crotch rocket pass a fleet of our dump trucks on the wrong side of the road and he would have hit my front bumper if I didn't swing to the right. Today some guy in a Mercedes was literally under my frame in a yielding zone, as I crept forward I couldn't see any gap between my rear tires and his doors. I was wishing in the worst way I was going to flatten his car without intentionally doing so.

I just buried a good friend last week from a motorcycle accident. He was a great guy and a fantastic Ferrari/Lambo mechanic.

a kid 1 town over from me was on a dirtbike, no lights, no helmet, on a street with limited lighting. He was hit by a car because they couldn't see him; too many people not using their brains and operating machines with deadly consequences.

That's sad, I'd rather see the idiot in the camaro die than some innocent girl. What's the speed limit on that road? No doubt they were in excess of 55mph. I hope they serve serious time.

no mention of speed or intoxication in the articles, or where either driver was coming from... its obvious that someone broke a law, whether it be speeding or failing to stop at a stop sign. no charges filed yet either

My thoughts. Why is everyone accusing the camaro. I see plenty of people who can't merge or make right on reds/stop signs and almost cause countless accidents.
For all we know from the article they turned and cut him off.
Regardless sucks to happen but let's get the whole story before we accuse

I was going to ask the same but the OP appears to have more info since he seems to know all involved.

I agree Adam.
Argh "innocent victim of drag racing" - no, it was street racing. Drag racing takes place at a track and is governed by sanctioning bodies and the state police.

I'll wait for the rest of the story/investigation I have been pulled over and threatend of careless driving and speeding because of how loud my car is.......
Wouldn't want to be charged for murder if I got into a accident because they thought I was racing

Only real comment on this, drag racing != street racing in a ****ing residential zone. While I can't say much on it, thats pretty stupid.
Edit: And lets say they were going 80 or so, that just proves how ****** Fbods stop under a "oh ****" moment, for all the idiots that claim driving at high speeds on the road at night is safe.
