Angry First 350Z fatality - This guy Racing

This link was on Freshalloy

http://forums.freshalloy.com/ubbthre...b=5&o=&fpart=1

Don't know the particulars, but it was on the AP news.

Survivability has been been very good on L.A. and Orange County wrecks. Out of 7 Wrecks reported, one was with a broken foot.

Side Airbags Front Airbags and a good crush zone helped tremendously..

My grand Daughter saw a FRWY 57 crash into the back of a disabled Flatbed. She said the couple got out and used thier cell phones to report the accident.

That's good in my book... Don't know about the Nevada dude,
Exceeded the limitation of a high, No doubt.

Amy !

The first was a teen and his friend in NJ who went off the road and into a fence (will spare the details of what happened). He had gotten the car two days before. Somewhere on this board the link exists, although the APP might not have the article active anymore.

Actually there was another tragedy in CT with two young men (late teens/early twenties). They supposedly were racing a BMW and the road was wet and they lost control of the Z and ran into a guardrail, flipped the car, and were ejected from their seats. It was a terrible accident. Some reports were saying that police estimated their speed at over 130 MPH. Someone did post a thread in this forum with the newspaper article. It was in May of this year.
