From Today's Washington Post, Metro Section Page B2, Maryland Briefing.


A 59-year-old Rockville man died yesterday morning as a result of a two-vehicle collision in Olney, Montgomery County police said.

Paul Ernest Myers was pronounced dead at the scene, near Georgia Avenue and Emory Lane, and the other driver, Eric Burlas, 18, of Brookeville, was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, authorities said.

Police said Burlas was driving a Subaru Impreza WRX south on Georgia Avenue as Myers, in a Mazda RX-7, was turning left onto Emory Lane from northbound Georgia Avenue. Upon impact, Myers's car rolled over several times and caught fire, police said.



Be careful out there people. Lotsa idiot drivers.

Anyone know the guy? Was he a member here?

 

Nope never heard of the guy.. but 59yrs old.. he must have had a FB..

 

whatever it was had 5-bolt wheels.

 

Huh? How's that?

EDIT: Ah the video... Those are S5 Coupe wheels, most likely 1991 according to Icemark's FAQ.

damn thats really sad to hear. i almost got hit by some soccer mom on her cell phone on 450 not too long ago. i got lucky, i was halfway into the turn already and i just nailed the gas and got out of there. then (like they always do) she gave me the arms like it was my fault, i just wanted to smack the bitch, the light was red dumbass! get off your cell phone!

 

Oh my god, I just met Paul Meyers last week. He owned an '03 Evo and was looking to trade for an FD (he had previously owned 3). He sold the Evo to someone just days ago. He was a very nice guy. I dunno what else to say. That's awful

 

I think paulpg on the forum is him. (see this post)

 

 

That is the Paul Meyers I knew. Same e-mail address (comcast). I sent email to his address last night just on the off-chance that there's more than one guy with the same name in MD that drives a mazda.

 

oh man thats really sad, any more info on the accident? did the kid survive? whos fault?

 

Not good. Sorry to hear about the loose of a fellow rotor head.

 

Just hearsay but it sounds like the wrx driver was only 18 and exceeding the speed limit by a lot.

Oh man...I "knew" Paul too...I dropped off some parts at his house not too long ago https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...0&postcount=72

EDIT: Damn...I need to slow down with my driving...

 

We all need to slow down while driving.. I say we do a caravan along 695 or at lease in the area where we passed away.. in rememberance of him.. its kinda hard to see a member go away.. but to see the car crushed up like that.. is terrible..

 

I'm thinking of his wife...I recall him telling me he has one. She must be struggling right about now...

 

Man thats sucks to hear a fellow rotary owner died. Regardless if hes a rotary owner its a person that was lost in a tragic accident.

RIP

 

RIP big buddie

 

You still have his number or can you cruise by his house? Maybe confirm it's the same guy?

EDIT: The middle initial on the CarFax report is "E"... It doesn't look good.

 

If you can confirm it's him, maybe we should do something nice? Flowers, cards, etc?

 

that just brought chills up and down my spine.Count me in for a caravan,flowers,anything.

 

RIP dude.



goddamn 18 year olds in fast cars.

yes i am jumping to conclusions. but based on the nasioc thread and the news reports it seems like he had to have been speeding.

 

Rip...

 

My fiancee gets mad when I yell at her to do this or to do THAT when she's driving but what she doesn't understand is that I am making her drive more defensively.............i trust her driving and her ever-improving-driving-skills.......it's the other fucktards that I'm concerned about.

Rest in peace and my deepest condolences to the family.

 

This news pisses me off and makes me sad.
R.I.P. indeed.
