Default 16-year-old kills moped rider & dumps Z in the lake

Yesterday a 16 year old was road racing through a residential area in west Tampa (Westchase community) and lost control of his 350z roadster, veered off the road and killed a moped rider on his way into a retention pond.

Local news has flash video on their home page today but no permanent link for the video (sorry). Check out http://www.wfla.com while you can. The story is called "Westchase Moped Accident." I snapped a screenshot...



Note: The reporter called the Z roadster a "convertible Lexus" but we all know how accurate TV reporters are.

16 year olds can drive by themselves or was there someone with him??? I don't see why they don't raise the minimum driving age to 18. Damn spoiled little rich kids really **** me off!

Probably the driver of the car switched badges. Damn, keep races at the track, not on public roads.

Hey I'm 16 and I just bought a 350Z with my own money! LOL! Gonna go race some twisties now K, BRB!

K I totally just killed a guy on a moped! LOL. HA I'm 16 and I will get away with it! And dad says he isn't mad. NOW I buy a GTR with my own MONEY! YAY!

WOOOOOW. Thanks for the insight Jordan Lampley. "Johhny and Trevor are really good kids, I feel really bad for JOHNNY, I don't know how he can get through that as a teenager" HEY MORON, What about the dude he just killed and his family?

I'm so pissed.

His parents are likely to be sued in civil court. Sucks to be them.

The little rich b!tch won't care that he killed the kid. Hopefully the dead boy has an older brother or a father with anger issues and gets some street justice. If you run over one of mine don't worry about fixing your car or the civil law suit ... worry about me.



The law doesn't extract justice anymore so sometimes men with honor and courage have to take matters into their own hands.

"Johnny and Trevor are really responsible," he said. "They didn't do it on purpose. They're good kids." Quoted by a 15 yr old Jordan Lampley.

hmm, Yeah, sure.. No one does it on purpose, unless you are a murderer!!

that might be the gayest picture ever (note: I checked to make sure it wasn't familly of the dead kid, and it wasn't the retard driver)


I was not aware you can get a license at 16. wow. bad idea for most people.

actually, most people shouldn't even have a license at 21.

No the guy in the pale blue shirt is "Johhny"
The guy in the white shirt holding his cheek is "Trevor" his passenger.
I think the lady in the blue dress is going to punch him in the throat.

Another moron kills an innocent person in a blatant act of stupidity. Sucks that sometimes the result of who lives and who dies is reversed. As well, another ugly mark on us Z drivers for the rest of the world to see.

Let’s just pray for the family of the moped rider. Heck, I’ll even pray for the dumb a$$ driver; hopefully he learned a lesson and won’t kill anyone else.
