Too much speed and too little driving experience left four teenagers dead after the car they were riding in barreled down a winding road in Herricks at up to 70 mph, and swerved across the center line into a van, Nassau detectives said.

Dear God thats painful to watch.

 

That's a tradegy..

 

That damage is horrific ... the poor families who have to deal with that tragedy ...

 

It happens quite often. My friend totaled his yellow type r two weeks after he got. He thought the car was capable of more than it was.

 

That is horrible, how sad!
Remember, "the jaws of life" and the potential use of saws to get to the patients will make the car look worse than it actually was.
But again, how sad!

 

That's horrible. It brings back memories of when I was in high school. Whenever a fellow student died in an accident, they would tow the car to the school and leave it there for a couple of weeks. It really got you thinking.

 

jesus man...it's moments like these that make me never want to race again...i've curbed my lack of restraint lately and i haven't raced at all...but sometimes i'm egged on and i can't help it but it when i see stuff like this that make me more stoic in not racing

 

a similar thing happend in chattanooga on july the 4th this year, but this tie 8 teenagers died as their cars lost controll on the s-curves and skid into the rock wall

 

That's horrible news. The damage to the car is pretty bad.

When you're a teenager, you think you're invincible. It's hard to temper that and get them to realize not to drive beyond the capabilities of the driver and the car.
