Sad! Car doesn't look too bad, wondering if they were wearing seatbelts.

IDK, looks pretty bad to me. looks like the rear got completely crushed, so I suspect they spun out off the road and the rear hit that tree.

very sad. RIP

The rear yes, but not where the driver and passenger are. In particular the divers side looks pretty intact.

Another kid died on Friday in Yonkers in a FBO C63. No seatbelt and was trapped in the back seat while the car caught on fire. There was a video of people and cops trying to help.Terrible.

They had it on youtube but they took the video down. Sad to watch honestly. Young kid too, mid 20's.

Very sad, but speeding is the number one killer in auto accidents.

AR_Motorwerkz · 09-30-2020, 08:11 PM

Yes sad, just glad they didn’t hurt/kill someone else. Seen too much of that and the drunk driver, speeding driver had very minor or no injuries.

Greer · 09-30-2020, 10:11 PM

So sad, RIP. Was it the driver who died or a passenger?

I never had 600 HP of rocket ship to play with at that age. Unfortunately, the average 24 year-old male brain is still immature (pre-frontal cortex, the higher brain functions of decision making and judgment), and its my personal belief that someone that age shouldn't be driving a $130,000 performance automobile.

He could have easily died in a Toyota Corolla. Has nothing to do with the car. Its all the driver.

I had a friend who died in a Toyota Corolla wraped around a tree, at abiut the same age.

agree, but that isn't the age we live in now. We've got kids in supercars these days. Blessing for a kid, and could be a parents curse...
