That's a sobering reminder for all of us to drive within our limits and our cars' limits. I don't want to see a CC car/driver wind up like that. Sad

I think the most saddening thing is not that the driver was killed (that's just natural selection, nature weeding out the weak/leadfooted/etc), it's that he took his passenger's life, someone whe had no control over what was going on.

Love the lack of tred on the tires. Very Happy

Indeed... that is truely sobering. And very scary as well.

By chance, does anyone have a link for a news brief or police report that went along with this? Where it was and such.

And this may be a bit inappropriate (curiosity killed the cat), how do they clean blood up so effectively before the pictures are taken?

I don't think they cleaned anything up except to cover the bodies. Maybe after they remove the bodies they might clean up a bit, but that's still unlikely. The victims probably died instantly or very close to that, and the human body doesn't bleed too much if the heart isn't pumping. I also don't think there would be much of a mess anyway, since the bodies seem to still be pretty intact (just one cover per victim).

Yikes!! Makes me feel bad....and lucky.....to have raced that blasted Honda yesterday at over 100mph. The worst part is.....I lost. Of course, I was sober and I assume whomever was driving this Audi wasn't. Poor souls, as if "Do NOT drink and drive" isn't slammed into most peoples' heads enough......

What makes me angry is my friends.

Most of them abuse alcohol way too much (I mean, I drink occasionaly, but they put Norm to shame)

And most of them not only drive drunk, but attend street races hammered.

Sad sad world. I hate to say it, but someone at my high school needs to get in a crash just to set an example. As horrible as that may sound far too many people I know have this "I am invincible" approach to everything.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
With that said... Is it scientifically true that a person under the influence can withstand far more trauma then a sober person, and this is why the offending driver in a DUI accident usually survives? I have heard it before, and it sounds fairly credible, but I still doubt.

I got to see the results of a DUI accident tonight while at the hospital...

driver and passenger had a few scratches and a broken wrist (respectively)...

their victim?
a 17 yearold girl with severe head trauma (partial crushed skull, lost one eye, nose pretty much torn off, ear missing, upper and lower jaw caved in), crushed ribcage, internal bleeding pretty much everywhere, burst appendix, went into shock and last I knew her kidneys had just failed her by the time I had left (I was there for about 5 hours).

sad sad world this is...

the likelihood of the two who hit her being given more than a few years probation, a forced attendance to detox then AA, and a few points on their records is extremely slim.

though the outcome is severe for the victim, basically anyone who kills someone while DUI gets a slap on the wrist, even a lot of the repeat offenders

in response to the f'd up audi above,if alchohol was involved,serves them right.

although it should never happen once...

i dont feel people deserve the right to drive after being convicted of a first offense,if there gonna endanger there own lives,so be it,dont recklessly get in a damn car and endagner someone else's life. i have absolutely NO remorse for anyone hurt or killed if driving intoxicated on ANY substance,but maybe that makes me an asshole *shrug*

my sister,whom i dont remember{because i was too young} was killed by a drunk driver Evil or Very Mad

whom,as aaron mention's,got i beleive i was told by my parents 3 years probation,and a 5 year suspension on his license. wtf is that about? hes on probation for 3 years for murder? F that. far as im concerned,what he dealt her,shouldnt have been dealt right back to him.

and to the mods,sorry,but i have a strong standing on this subject,probably shouldnt have posted,but oh well. Sad

mark, i don't think any of us feel any diffrent about drunk drives, but remeber, we all do stupid reckless things too, going 100+ is not safe, and not exactly responsable.

You have to remember too that not everybody can control themselves while intoxicated, its not only their responsability, but the people around them that let them get into the cars drunk.

It's not Murder, it's manslaughter. It's similiar to when people pleed insanity and get off. It's dumb, it sucks, we all don't like it. No need to get so exicted about some pictures.

no mark, i wasn't implying that

i have done it, and i am sure at some other point, we have all gone faster than we should have with others around.

your right, i have no problem wiht you going faster on a back road with no-one on it, the thing is, you never know when there will be a car around the next corner, or an SUV halfway in your lane. the truth is, we have all done things in our car we probably shouldn't have. and as much as i hate drunk drivers, if a sober person plows into someone at over 100mph, IMHO they are just as guilty, and just as bad as a drunk driver.

please don't take it like i am talking about you at all, and take it that i or anyone else is defending drunk drivers, we are all on the same page on that subject, i think those jerk-offs that kill kids when they plow into a mini-van on its way home from soccer practice, should be in jail for the rest of their lifes.
