People are such idiots.

Doing 65-90 runs on an empty freeway is one thing. Racing off street lights on MAJOR surface streets is another.

I wish there was more promotion of legal drag racing to prevent this type of thing. I know that there are a few tracks around socal where police actually host the events just to discourage this type of BS.

At any rate, if you're doing ANY racing while pregnant, you're a moron. It's sad.

Wow, we are so harsh, heartless and quick to judge! Have none of you ever drove over the speed limit? All the details have not been released, maybe the OP should change the title to road rage instead of street race.

Here's an update: http://cbs2.com/local/eagle.rock.crash.2.804960.html

Whatever happened there are people who lost loved ones that day.

I just posted the details from the initial investigation given by the police at the time. It was not until today that they ruled out street racing. Regardless it was still irresponsible for the girl to be going that fast on surface streets with a car full of passengers.

That article makes so little sence.

Road rage isn't mentioned in the body of the article. The other person then stopped and tried to help the people out of the car?

The married couple were 19 and 18?

I think theres more to the story and its just bs

my opinion is

i love how they always assume its street racing (which might of been).

the girl is stupid for even speeding while 8 months pregnant and other passengers in the car.

i don't understand how the 3rd car was involved, and why they charging the guy in the Mitsubishi for murdered when its the pregnant girls fault for speeding. road rage or not.

i feel sorry for the passengers and the baby. her on the other hand got what she deserved for being stupid and inconsiderate.

Street racing my ass. Look at all of you saying "Ricer this Ricer that." thats a crock of SHIT.

Both the cars involved are BONE STOCK and have absolutely NOTHING TO DO with those who like to tune their cars or bolt stupid wings aka Ricer. I can't believe all of you would talk so much shit and say its cool just because you think "some ricers died street racing so its ok to laugh at them"

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. No one knows what happened. All we know is they suspet road rage and high speeds. Combine that with an inexperianced driver in a 4 door sedan and you have lots of fire and death. simple as that.
