Late nights, wet roads, and fast drives. I know a few of you remember them

Did someone actually die in that crash ??? I was looking at the cars as I passed and they didn't look that damaged. I did see three ambulances leave the scene so I know at least 3 injurys happened.

Who has some info on this ???

yeah it happened at around 12pm in sultan. Not the same, or the reporting could be inaccurate. Sounds eerily similar tho...

Yeah I agree, but spirited backroad driving, and headsup two people racing are very different.

Well what BlueShift posted was a dumb 16 year old whose parents bought him that car. Driving down a straight road he lost control and ran off the road launching thru a ditch and up the tree first day he had the car... Now tell me is it really smart to spoil your children? Or would it be better to make them earn it?

let me clear all of these rumors up
So Steve in the 85 1st gen is a freind of mine and explained to me what happend.

he was tring to take a left turn. stoped waiting to turn, when a semi was coming up fast behind him and honking so he went for the turn. His car bogged down a little bit and he didnt make the turn in time.

The civic cliped his rear passenger quarter panel and got hooked in and it caused the civic to roll. The young 11 yr old passenger who was seriously injured in the civic also was not wearing a seat belt.



SO there was no people being jackasses in this accident... it was just a unlucky chain of events.

SO everyone please be careful when driving, make sure you judge your gaps for turns and such carefully. and PLEASE WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS!!

he is a formum member but i forgot his login hes more of a lurker...

I was the rx7 driver noted in the wenatchee world article. Driving is always risky, whether or not you're driving like a selfish *******. Sometimes we forget this. It only takes a moment and sometimes solid instincts don't cut it. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time and I'm so lucky to be alive. The little girl in the car was only 11 and lost 3 fingers. Guys, be thankful for every moment you have on this earth and do the most with it. We don't all get second chances.
Steve
