Does suck.

I didn't like how they were taking into the WWE side of TV though. Cage fighting is very serious, but they went the silly make-up and nickname route.

icky.

This a terrible loss.

Im not really a fan of the sport but hearing about a death caused by a collision as "simple" as hitting a street pole is tragic.

How do high ends not have stronger cabs?
Torn in half?!?!

That is ridiculous...

More performance = less weight

Even with great engineering less weight = less strength assuming the level of engineering is equal

There has to be much more to the story that that poorly written article describes.

How are you going to arrest the driver of another car for vehicular manslaughter while racing?

As the article describes the cars were racing and buddy crashed. They did not say if his female passenger was killed either, just that she was ejected.

Unfortunatly, and being the almost victim of a similar type, running around acting stupid in an overpowered vehicle results in this much too often. Hate that he died, but it sure could have been easily avoided.

probably "racing", saw the cop and decided to run. Fast car =/= ability to drive. Really sucks, stupid decision that are made in split seconds change lives forever. Having a passenger and driving like that just makes the guy a dumbass :nono:

Yea .... I wasn't really sure what was going on from the articles I read.
The only thing that would count is if the other guy slammed into him causing the accident ... it's just reckless driving on both their parts.

you guys should have seen some of the local news reports on tv. they had some gnarly pics of the crash and interviews. Amazing that people can live (female in the car) after a crash like that, but there are also the down sides.

If you engage in illegal activity that could reasonably result in injury and/or death, you are responsible for the outcome.

If you rob a bank or pull a home invasion with some buddies and one of them is killed in the process, you can, and probably will, be charged with first degree murder.
