This crash just happened about two days ago. Our feeling is there was no alcohol involved but we have to wait for toxicology. The seatbelt comment was harsh, this is someones children that died here. Im not going to joke about kids getting killed. We were all kids at one time that probably drove too fast some I imagine still do.

This is one of the reasons why I want to introduce my son to any kind of motorsports. That way he can explore the limits of a car in a somewhat controlled environment and not on the street. I don't know about others here but once I started Autocrossing I started respecting the car and understanding not only the cars limits but my own as a driver. This has made me a rather conservative driver on the streets and less willing to take chances.

From the extent of the damage, I'm surprised the cockpit is in such good condition. Goes to show crumple zones can work?!?

Auto accidents are an unfortunate fact of our society, I just hope they are fewer as technology advances, and people become more responsible (drink/speed)
