Unhappy Street Racer killed someone in Pasadena

Does anyone know who it was?

The story i heard was that it was 2 mustangs at the redlight on Spencer going under the Beltway. The light turned green, they left, but the lights are timed so you have to take off at avg rate to catch the 2nd green, any faster and you'll run the red light.

A black 96-98 stang ran the red light, hit an expedition and an ambulance sitting at the other light. Killed one person so far and 3 in critical condition.

Whoever it was just screwed up many lives permanently, including their own.

I heard the grey mustang had a decal on back that said "Hot". Shouldn't be to hard to figure out who it was.

This probably was the case, but then again, there are always stories about (just because it was a sports car camaro or stang or whatever) street racers, they say that they were racing when they werent, just so everyone will hate street racers lol. They probably were racing like dumbasses, but if your gonna race, do it somewhere safe and dont be a jackass.

That is my opinion too. If you are going to do something like that go some where it is noone around. That location is always packed i wouldn't dought they were just trying to get the whole shot to get over or something etc.. Sad for the people injured or killed though.

I dont think only mustangs street race .

But they are idiots for racing in traffic especially at that intersection. I've seen lots of people almost wreck there because they took off to fast. Whoever it was has to live with killing someone for the rest of their lives because of doing something stupid.

you have to wait like 5-10 sec. to make sure that no one runs the lights.

My lil bro goes to school with the kid that was in the passenger side seat that got his head cracked. He said he was pretty fuked up.

Damn so thats what happend. I was on my way to work when I drove up on it and it was a cluster f**K. I figured someone died because the cops were acting crazy! I almost got creamed by a emergency expidition! Traffic had to be diverted so I was stuck under the over pass on Spencer trying to head toward Deer Park. I was on the right side in my vette and there was a big truck on my left side. Light just turned green after forever and I started to go straight then all of a sudden I see a BIG emergency expidition at my front fender trying to turn right (which would make him heading the wrong direction on the feeder)! Just had hid lights one no siern!!!! That PISSES me off! He almost caused another accident just for being a DI*K! I hate it when they dont have their serins on it should be the law!

My brother told me about it. He was coming out of Academy right as it happened. He said it looked like the guys were racing. The SUV was carrying some kids and one was ejected. The ambulance was carrying a patient as well. He said there were two large pools of blood near the vehicles that looked as if someone could not survive from. And wouldn't you know, the guy in the Mustang that was still there was walking around with a cut on his face. It seems like anyone who causes a wreck (DWI, etc.) always ends up not getting hurt bad.

They were dumbasses to begin with because anyone who knows that area knows it is cop central. If their not radaring then their cruising close by.

Wow, thats some deep ****. Ive got a friend who does stupid **** while driving, he always does like 120+ on the highway in traffic weaving in and out of traffic. Personally, I do street race, but I usually wait till late at night and go on a 4 lane bridge in my town that is empty by 11 o'clock every night.
