please don't street race.... we in the Del-Val are trying to find out who these people are and pray it's not one of our own.
Prayers go out to the victims and families... http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/news/121802_nw...w_dragrace.html --------------------

Absolutely tragic. Sympathies go out o the families of the loved ones, and pray that it isn't anyone of the forum.
I don't understand why people continue to street race, "show off" or conduct any other behaviour while driving that put lives at risk. Cars can be replaced, but lives are not so tangible. We see these posts on here all too frequently. I think it's time a lot of us, including myself at times, wake up, and face the consequences of mere testosterone induced insanity that we subject ourselves to on city streets. There..my 2c Asif

OMG! Those are some scary, scary images. If you didn't notice it, there are two small "related links" next to the main article that include some pics that are a little too up close and personal. My heart goes out to those involved and their families...

Actually, looking at the pic of the back half of the car it appears that the cockpit is intact, which is what we've seen in a lot of S2K crashes. Also, the fact that both occupants were ejected indicates to me that they weren't wearing their seat belts. Had they not been ejected they both might have survived. If you're gonna street race at least wear your seat belt!

Very tragic and sad.
When both occupants of one car were ejected would it imply that seat belts were not worn? I know that it is possible to be ejected from a vehicle whilst wearing a seat belt it is very unlikely. It is amazing how relatively undamaged the cabin is. With seatbelts this crash could have been very survivable. What do you guys think? |

Studyng the picture for awhile, with deployement of air and intact cabin, with seatbelt they might have been able to walk out of this accident.

Did you see the damage on the yellow s2k which was said to hit the tree at 80mph? The damage looks minmal for such a high speed.

I think that was a typo. The silver hit the tree at 80mph.
The yellow wiped out a street light before coming to rest against a tree. Street lights are pretty flimsy. |

Clowns like this kill innocent people (like the passengers) and raise our insurance rates!
Hopefully the survivors will be okay. Nonetheless, I hope that the reckless surviving driver never shares the same road that I do. -------------------- Dennis '02 Honda Civic Si '04 Honda Accord EX Former loves: '01 Honda S2000 (#9287) '98 SVT Mustang Cobra (#225) '92 Taurus SHO I drive too fast to worry about cholesterol. |

I recommend this thread be placed as a permenent NOTE at the front in the Street Encounters forum to serve as a reminder of the potential consequences of such activity.

I know this is a dumb question, but the other driver who survived. Does he get charged with wreckless driving and manslaughter?
this is terrible, i had one of my really close friend die the same way years ago in the arm of his older brother. So so scary... |
