WOW, what a moron. That poor kid. As awful as it sounds though, it's probably best that they didn't add any more of their genes to the gene pool.

People like that give us a bad name...

I just read this over at azss. It is sad, but racing a suburban? Regardless of what actually happened, it is still sad, and should never have happened.

I feel horrible for the family, and the father will live with this for the rest of his life (if he makes it) I don't see how a baby can be ejected from a car seat... they basically have a 5 point strap going over them. I have a feeling the child wasn't even strapped in correctly. It's a sobering reminder that if you street race you are not only putting the lives of those in&around your car in danger, but you are also putting the quality of life for those who care about you in danger as well. It's a sad story

Someone wanted to street race with their 6 week old in the vehicle and lost control and somehow "WHO CARES HOW REALLY" she flew out of the car and hit the ground.

Rules that can apply:
1. Don't race on the street even though it is fun. I know but I out grew it
2. Find a empty street
3. Don't race with family in the car
4. Take it to the drag strip
5. Keyboard race on here
6. Don't race when non participants are driving on that same street, road, or freeway.

thats sad... sorry for the family. dont know why you would wanna race a suburban. also with a little girl in it. mustang owner.....
from posted above not to lose focus or anything but i don't like how the news always mentions accidents from street racing. its pretty BS. they try to show that every street race that happens is SO DANGEROUS! i mean yea in some cases it is. like this. but people die everyday. people get shot, heart attacks, people who died from smoking, etc. but they have to show the whole world about some incident from street racing. so now the cops are on street racers and people who own "our cars" even harder. hell ive gotten pulled over or stared at from cops A LOT more now because i own a Camaro....? when i use to own a 91 Ford Bronco i would be sitting next to a cop and he wouldn't even stare at me. but now i got to avoid cops just because im worried there going to pull me over for some stupid reason. and ive heard tons of them! its just pretty lame how the media is now days... sorry i just had to mention that. didn't mean to lose focus of this topic.

R.I.P. the girl that was in the mustang....... truly sorry

Unbelievably bad judgment. Just goes to show that all you need is a pecker to be a dad. No aptitude test. No background checks. No drug tests or credit history. What a horribly depressing story. If your need for speed can't be subdued with your own child in the car please consider chemical castration.

At 6 weeks the car seats face backwards. When my 4runner was in the shop I had to take my daughter to my mother-in-laws a few times in the TA (wife cant drive manual) on the way to work. The only thing that holds the base in the car is the stock strap. They are secure but no where close to a forward facing seat with anchors.

I can't believe that guy raced or even played around with his infant in the car. **** there necks can't even realy hold there head up yet. I am at loss of words.
