Red means stop, green means go, what part of this equation did the driver not understand? RIP to the taxi driver.

2 BMWs in that picture? but why do they have to mention "BMW" in the article? This makes it sounds like all BMW drivers are bad.
why not just report that a driver ran a red light and kill a taxi driver? |

Why morons shouldn't drive cars they can't handle. I can't imagine the pain the taxi drivers family is going through. I hope the M5 driver roasts.

the media LOVE to point out the vehicle IS a BMW (or Porsche, Ferrari,... for that matter.) I guess for a large portion of the general public/audience, certain makes are what they want to have but can't, hence the "attitude"...

Do anyone else notice the time stamp on that article says: "September 12th, 2008" ??
I'm confused... It's still Sept. 11th in the Eastern time zone, and I think we're 3 hrs ahead of California ???

I think the LA Times is simply stating a fact.
A man driving a BMW ran a red light and killed a taxi cab driver. They could have sensationalized it. A man driving a $80,000 dollar BMW M5 blew past a red light killing a taxi cab driver.
