A guy running from the cops in Phoenix decided to deliberately drive into an oncoming car. Here's the link to the video. Yes, both of them unfortunately died.

The bank robber's car smashed into a white Supra owned by a 24 year old guy who was working as a valet and went to community college.

Here's more about the owner of the Supra...

Yah it sucks. The guy doesn't want to go to jail, so he goes and kills himself and takes a random person with him :banghead:

The sucks. Thats really heart breaking to see. The guy was good looking on top of having a great car and a real passion for it. I can only imagine what his twin must be feeling right now as well as the rest of his family.

Thats such a crappy thing to do to just kill somebody else because you don't want to go to jail. I really hope he is paying for it

What would you do if some nut case came into your lane and you knew he was trying to hit you head-on?

He slammed on the brakes but damn. This is why high speed chases should not be allowed. I know this guy was bank robber but.......................

How does this have anything to do with God? Is nothing bad supposed to happen because theres an ultimate creator? .........anyways no more religion talk or this thread will get locked

Very sad indeed.....Its heartbreaking to watch him slamming on his breaks there...probally scared for his life....hope he got to tell his love ones goodbye that morning

Another member on the GTO boards took these pictures at the memorial cruise.
Looks like they have a great community in Phoenix.


Someone over on the AZHT (AZ Honda-Tech) forum organized a memorial cruise for him. I did not personally know Alex, but a lot of us local GTO guys went to show our support.

Here's some pics I took from the memorial cruise

I find your response to a general opinion amazing and very hypocritical. If there is to be no discussion of religion, then leave your "ultimate creator" comment out of it. You took my comment and blew it way out of context unnecessarily.

It was terrible. The video of it was even worse.

Yeah, everyone that knew Alex (I wish I had) said he was really a fantastic human being and it certainly appears that way from the testimonial of all the people who had their lives touched by him.
The memorial drive was a huge success and his family was there to meet everyone.

wow, that pretty brutal. My heart goes out to this guy's family, he unfortunately never stood a chance as soon as that robber decided to swerve.

It's great to see the support and love they gave that guy on the cruise.

Breaks my heart. That was really awesome that all those people showed up and did that drive in his memory.
