Default Crash Kills three people in Holly Hill

http://www.cfnews13.com/News/Local/2...car_crash.html

Wow, this reminds me of a wreck that happened up at the F-body gathering years and years and years ago. People were ejected from the car in that case too.

If anyone knows the person/persons affected and/or family members, my condolences.

Chill on the streets people. If you don't care about your life, that's one thing, care about your passengers, people around you, and the car. Take it to the track and chill out on the roads.

I have.

And everyone drive safe.

"Emergency workers said they had to do a thorough examination just to determine the victim’s genders."

That's a terrible thing to read. Lives aren't worth bragging rights. My condolences.

I'm getting tired of hearing about these people dying in street racing accidents. Like Lasombra said, chill out on the streets and race at the track.

I'm not going to say I never street raced, so I will say I'm tired of people doing it with other people in their cars, and doing it in busy sections of town. Do it somewhere if you screw up you are going to take only yourself out. I'm all for tracks but they are only open at certain times. I have a two hour drive to any track, and I go there, but I'm sure some people in FL have it even worse than I do.

Interesting with more details, surprised there was someone over 50 in the car. Here I was thinking it would be three young people.

this is a case of someone acting stupid, it only takes a second to wreck or change your life. unfortunatley this looks bad on all of us that like nice fast, and upgraded cars. we all get lumped into a category. i dont condone street racing but there are areas where it can be done safely and smartly. we used to have an area in south jersey where we would meet on either sat or sunday nights. a very long stretch of road with spotters at both ends. even philly had front street back in the day, saw some really nice cars there. of course somebody gets hurt and its over. it even happens at a dedicated track, someone got through tech with a piece of junk. or the township builds homes right next to it. this is a shame but it does happen. im keeping my daughter locked up.

A long lonely stretch of road does not make it ok. When you die there, and I hear about it in the paper and how how great you were blah blah, I think 2 things. First, we street raced long long ago. It was stupid then, but there were no strips. Now we have strips and there are no excuses. Second, you were not so great because you commited a crime that ended your life and in this case a couple others.

Take it to a drag strip. Rules, safety equipment, rescue crews waiting, etc. Period.

Call me old, call me what you want. Had they listened, there would be 3 people alive today.

i hope you dont think i was saying it (was) ok to race on an empty back road, far from it. i was in no way glorifying it, even cops raced in there patrol cars, which still didnt make it right. the only thing i can say is it wasnt through town like it is now, we didnt race with others in the car. there were a lot less cars on the road. still as stupid as it was we were cautious as could be. it was usaually a bunch of bs' ing with a couple of cars going at it. maybe i was just reminicing a little of when i was younger and probally just lucky. but with movies glorifying street racing like tftf, no wonder kids are dying. and yes i do feel for these people and the ones they left behind. it is always sad
