"Witnesses told police that Sherrond Worlds was racing a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix at a high rate of speed with another unknown vehicle at 3:35 a.m., when Worlds lost control of the car, police News Affairs Officer Laura Kubiak said. The Grand Prix went airborne and struck a tree, a fence and then crashed into a garage, located at 756 W. 87th St., Kubiak said."

This is why drag racing on the street is stupid.

Ouch. Damn. That sucks.
It's also why, while I still street race occasionally, it's become very rare as opposed to all the time. Can't seem to break myself completely yet though.
Anyway, is she okay? Probably not from the sounds of it.

im sorry for the man that was killed...but to the driver...SNOW OUTSIDE!!!

 

[thebullfrog]

Ah, I didn't see the link the first time. That really sucks. There is no way I could live with myself after that. I would've rather died in the car with him. Thats why on the rare occasion I do race it's sans passenger. At least it's one less person I might get killed.

From the article:

a 30 year-old man, was unable to escape and was reportedly burned in the car, she said.

What a horrible way to die!


I <strike>know</strike> knew a dude who killed a girl when he T-boned her car while street racing. . . He commit suicide last week! He couldn't live with what he did to that girl and her family. I think he only did 30 days due to his father being an attorney.
First prescription drugs (xanax, phenylbarbital, valium...) - then alcohol, then both. I don't know how he killed himself though - he probably OD'd

the driver of the gp should at least tried to help his passenger get out of the car. i know if that was me i would.

 

[thebullfrog]

I wouldve died trying to save the pass. if I could.

 

[GTPPWR]

I wouldnt have raced in the first place. snow, and it wasnt thought out.

 

[thebullfrog]

true, me either. but if i were in the crash..

 

[J.E.T.]

Tragic indeed.

Funny thing though... the article says witnesses - at 3:30AM ? Unlikely but possible I guess.

 

[thebullfrog]

Yeah, witnesses at 3:30 AM? and no one knows what the other car is?. I smell cover-up and protecting a friends' ass.
