Hey guys, I am all the way up in cold a$$ MD enjoying a snow storm. Last night I happend to catch the National news segment; on my local news program. The main story was a dark purple 350z involved in a street race that killed one woman. They said the driver is being held on $10,000 bail does annyone know this person or happen to see this story? just curious, sounds like a really bad situation that will only get worse... a link would be much appreciated.


my regrets,
Ryan

 

I hope they hang him out to dry. This street racing crap needs to stop.

my regret is not for the 350Z owner, but the woman and her family.

 

Do you know where this happened? I didnt even see it on the news and I live in FL

 

+1 ----- Its really starting to **** me off. Little Bastards trying to prove they got a dick and getting into these "Win no matter what and fuc anyone that gets in my way" racing. Far to much anger is involved for good judgement.

 

agreed.

 

I heard something about, but I didn't see anything on da news..Live in Lakeland,FL. (between Orlando&Tampa)... But what I heard was a Z racin an Accord.... ...Right!!! go figure thats a close race to begin with ...Don't know why someone would bother non the less sad day for Z's to be put in that out to da public. I'm drive da daliy(explorer) more often now just to keep da po-po from sweatin me..(makes for a fun weekend)!!

 

I searched the Miami Herald and couldn't find anything.

Anymore detailed news as to where in Florida this happened?

 

i haven't heard anything either but would like to hear the whole story

 

Some of u that are curious may want to go to the Web Site of that National News Station.

 

We would, if we knew what national news station he was referring to, and considering it's in MD, us Floridians don't really know what news stations they have up there.

 

This was close to my house:



Roger Yeager, 37, of Gibsonton, was driving a 2006 Nissan eastbound at about 11:20 a.m. on Gibsonton Drive.

William and Vertis Ryan of Riverview were in a Ford Taurus westbound on Gibsonton Drive.

William Ryan attempted to make a U-turn, which put the Taurus in the path of the Nissan.

The cars collided.

William Ryan, 85, was airlifted to Tampa General Hospital, where he was listed in fair condition late Sunday. Vertis Ryan, 83, died at the scene.

Yeager was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide, reckless driving and racing on the highway.

Witnesses told investigators that a man driving a black Honda four-door car with shiny rims and tinted windows was racing against Yeager before the accident.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at (813) 247-8200 or Crime Stoppers at (800) 873-8477.



Here is the guys arrest page: http://www.hcso.tampa.fl.us/pub/defa...sp/bn=07009569

 

Considering that DROPPEDIT2WCE was still on line, I thought he might read that and share that information with us.

 

And I typed to slo ----Thanks Quivver !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: He was no youngster either !!!! 37 Jeez

 

+3!! Makes me sick! They both made it to the age of 85 and 83 and some jerk comes along and destroys their family! Hope Yeager rots.

 

I looked up the driver, he doesn't have any cars registered in his name at that address.

 

All this self centered crap goes far beyond street racing and I was/am far from being a Saint, People that age --- 85-83 --- shouldnt have to pay the price for selfishness. My heart goes out to an old man that lost the most important thing in his life, fair condition or not, he will die within the year of a broken heart and that should add another Homicide by rights

 

Remember... you cannot be a PROFESSIONAL street racer since there's no such thing. Leave it to the track!

 

i am surprised the let him make bail.
