Default Tree 1 Ricer 0

It happened not but 20 min ago out in front of our new apartment but a Honda Civic Del Sol (squeak and leak) slammed into a tree at a very "high" speed. This is on South Parkview Dr. west of Barker-Cypress. The dumb *** wasn't wearing his seat belt and took his airbags out, probably to "save weight." They took him away on a stretcher in an ambulance but he looked like he was just beat and scratched up. His statement to the cops was "I was trying to pull a u-turn around the median and a car came out of the apartment complex (btw is gated ) and ran me off the road." It hit the tree hard enough to put the left front tire into the drive seat and fold the top in half. The cop was making fun of the dudes statement and asking us if it looks like he pulled a u-turn. My neighbor says that there is a bunch of ricers that live in the subdivision across the street and street race on our road which is very curvy. He's seen atleast 5-6 wrecks in the last 3-4 years. Anyway I'll post some pics of the tree he hit and a crappy cell phone pic of the car on the flat bed (too many cops around to take pics). It sure was fun watching the tow truck driver drag that POS around.

I was out of town when it happened. This happened Wednesday is what the neighbor was telling me, and I just found out today. Supposedly they slid around the corner, and one wiped out into someone's yard across the street, and the other one did that. They tried to pull the car out of the yard with a friend's truck, which explains all the other tracks in the yard, and this was right in the middle of the damn day. Some neighbors across the street wound up calling the cops on them before they could get the car out

not really, i live on a corner lot. it's not an intersection either, you have to turn right/left depending on which direction you're going in. i always liked it because i figured people didn't have a choice but to slow down when they're by my house, but i guess i wasn't taking into consideration morons that like to drift. it was a couple of neighborhood kids, so i hope they at least learned their lesson anyway. i'm hoping they have good enough parents to at least take the keys away for a while, because i'm sure there's considerable damage on both cars
