myself though, i think i would've just hit the brakes instead of trying to drive through it, as long as there weren't cars behind me that could potentially rear end me

The blame is really on the driver of the crown vic. If your blaming cars burning out as the cause, thats kinda stupid.
Heres my reasoning. If there was a car accident up ahead which u couldnt see, and there was a smoke screen on the road. What are you gonna do? Plow through that bitch? Doubtful. So the car goes plowing through and hits the other cars that have gotten in an acident, and kills the people in the other cars. Who fault is it then? Personaly I was taught to drive defensivly and would of slowed my *** down. Why the **** didnt the Crown Vic?

Smoke on the road should make the driver drive cautious. Whether its smoke from tires or fog, u just need to pay attention. And if the driver didnt have the lights on, how the hell can u see anything?
If I see smoke im turning my hazards on and driving 15-25 mph (even on the damn interstate) and thats assuming I dont pull over and wait.

So it's ok to stand in the middle of a dark hiway with thick smoke behind you as long as you're a spectator? Then the vehicles on the road are supposed to drive around you and if they don't they are the idiot? I don't even stay on the shoulder to change a flat with working hazard lights, I value my life. The hiway is no place to spectate anything. It's my opinion that even if the guy was stone drunk, with no lights, and doing 50 in reverse when he mowed them down that they are all still idiots for standing there.

i agree it's probably not a good idea to chill in the middle of the highway.
but shame on the crown vic driver for driving his dumb *** down the dark highway with no effing headlights. i would think that if his lights had been on, the spectators would have noticed him coming, which would have avoided the accident. also the crown vic driver shouldn't have been plowing through a thick cloud of smoke. retard.

BMXer the injured or killed were all spectators of the cars racing which were going at it when the Crown Vic came from behind the starting line and hit all those people. The actual racers and probably a lot of other people there took off when it happened. The car was the Crown Vic who wasn't even involved in the race, for some reason his dumb *** came crusing up without lights at 2-3 am and plowed into a crowd standing there watching the race play out. The driver wasn't hurt but his car was beat to hell by the bodies. I'm waiting to see if he was drunk or just stupid. I heard one report that a semi truck came along next and ran over a body before it was over but no word on if that person was already dead when the big truck ran him over.
