The result: House wounded, but victorious.

This accident occured in a town about 40 miles east of me, where some friends of mine live: Avon Lake, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. A kid got a new Tiburon from his parents, climbed in with three buddies, and only exited once again we he was thrown from the car as it struck a garage going well over 90 miles an hour. The driver was killed on impact, another was pronounced dead after it took over twelve hours to locate his body (he landed in between some nearby rocks), and the two other passengers survived and are in stable condition, but sustained heavy injuries. One is in a full body cast, the other broke every bone in his face.

Everyone please be careful out there. Don't push your car more than you can safely handle. I have little doubt these kids were being irresponsible, but no one really considers themselves that as its happening, do they?

 

dang.... & thats a good question.

 

Cripes! +1 for reasons that my kid is going to learn when it's proper to drive a car hard. I'll pay for them to go to autocrosses, just so long as they keep it to the track. If I learn about them pulling any stunts, the keys are mine.

 

that's sad..i feel sorry for his'her parents..well all their parents.

even the houses parents

 

Poor house

 

Wow! that is so sad. Does anyone else find this odd and shocked at the part I highlighted?

 

i wonder what the passengers were saying to the driver in the few momments before the impact.

sux for the home owners, and moreso to the parents of the kids.

 

driving age should be 21.

Drinking age should be 16 with a parent, or 18 if a member of the armed forces.

 

if that's the case, there would be alot more people driving around illegally. the age of the kids in the car was not stated. if they were under the age of 18, then they were likely in the car illegally. at least here in california, if you are under the age of 18, you have to have a provisional license and may not drive around anybody else under the age of 24 unless there is an able driver of 25 or older (driver's license required) for the first six months of their driver's license period. after the six month period, they can have anybody in the car with them.

and for drinking, to my knowledge, you can drink at whatever age you want, so long as the parent(s)/guardian(s) are present and sober. you just can't purchase any alcohol until the age of 21.

 

Actually dmp, considering what I know about that town, there's a fair chance that they had been drinking. I'm merely speculating, though.

 

So who's gonna run the movie theaters, mall shops, ice cream stores, and fast food joints? What happened to the rite of passage?

Everybody makes mistakes, clearly this guy was a retard who fucked up royally and it cost him.

Don't let a few bad apples spoil it for everyone.

Or is it because you're older now you've forgotten what it's like to be young?
