Default SS wreck in flagler county

I saw it on the news this morning. They said that both people were killed in the accident. The car went off the road and thru some trees. It looked pewter or silver. Anyone else hear anything?

Sounds like a nasty wreck, who knows if they would have lived if wearing their seat belts anyway? Still everyone don't forget to buckle up!

I used to see that car around Palm Coast all the time. It was a pewter Z with the ground effects and black TTM's. I saw it on the flatbed on the way to work. There was nothing left of it in front of the B pillars. Ashame....

My daughter is 21. I can only imagine the pain and emptiness of my whole family if she ever was taken away. God be with these two young mens' families.

damn... no mention of speed in the report. Wonder if they were just cruising along at normal speed and something weird happened or if it was driver error. Really shitty though, no matter what the cause. Hate to see this sort of stuff.
