Biography of Friends Lost

[CFar]

A member approached ClubRSX with a request not too long ago. His suggestion was to create a thread where people can go to give a "brief history and or biography" of friends or just people that we know that have lost their lives to traffic accidents.

Whether it be from a drunk driver, street racing, or the unfortunate circtumstance of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, you can remember them by putting it in here. As well, I think it will help to put a face to the side of what happens when things go wrong.

I think it's a good idea, however, I have some reservations about biographies regarding drunk drivers. It's definitely going to have it's share of contreversial threads.

[Fanatik]

mrmix up i belive he meant being hit by a drunk driver not being drunk and dying. though i could be wrong

[tuNniebOi]

my friend just died on monday morning...he will be greatly missed ...

he got into an accident and was rushed to the hospital but died while they were performing surgery... his g/f which was also in the car is in the hospital and stated in good condition. very sad day at work today :(

[CFar]

Who and where was it?

[jsfwds2k]

My roommates girlfriend's sister was supposed to have her baby in the next couple of days. She just found out today that the Dad, on his way home from out of town ran into a semi. He was killed and has a baby on the way in the next few days. :( I didn't know him, but the situation is pretty sad.

ASHES TO ASHES - DUST TO DUST

[in4red6]

1) my g/f's friend's dad was involved in an Accident, while on a trip in the Philippines 3 weeks ago and past away. He left his family behind.

2) a girl from UCLA, part of the Samahang Pilipino Group was hit by a drunk driver about 1 month ago going home from the Pilipino Culture night practice. She was a 4th year at ucla, soo close to graduating.

3) Just yesterday morning at 2:30 AM (5/4/03) my g/f's close friend, which she went to UCLA with and had a class with last quarter, and I was sitting with them in class too, passed away after running head on with an Acura Legend on the 405 Freeway by the 101 near sherman way. Investigation is still under way, but her friend, Ericka Lara, most likely was drunk. She entered the freeway OFFRAMP and hit a 66 year old man head on. It would have been his 67th b-day this week. He died on scene. She died later that evening at the Northridge Hostpital.

She was an intelligent, kind-hearted, and a loving girl and none of this needed to happen.

For all of you that drink, Please don't drink and drive. You might think it won't happen to you, but you'll never know.

That's 3 incidents in the past month. You do the math! It's not worth it.

Please let all your loved ones know that you love them, and prevent them from drinking and driving because it may be the last time you ever talk to them. It could be your brother, sister, mother, father, grandparent, or lover.

Please pray for all the souls lost and that GOD give the strength to their families in this time of need. . .

Please don't street race everybody. Go to the track. I say 15 bucks is worth your life and maybe even somebody elses.

it will be 4 years this june 6th that i lost my best friend. he was driving and doing 80 in a 50 and didnt realize he had to get off an exit and he did at the last second and hit a wall, went over a guardrail and right into a pole. he died on impact. my other friend was in the hospital for 3 weeks and i was out of the hospital in 2 days and was able to make his wake and funeral. he is missed by many especially me.

[PinoyBoy524]

Dang all these stories make me wanna drive cuz im only 14. It's really sad and scary but we all need a dose of reality sometimes.

[MKIV]

when i was 16, (20 now) my parents were going out to go fishing one morning and about 10 miles out they met up with a drunk driver being pursued by police at speed in excess of 100mph (this was at 7:30 in the morning when traffic was pretty bad). well this driver veered into the opposit lane it was only a 2 lane highway. he hit my parents head on and my mom died that morning in the car. it was the worst experoience of my life but im thankful my mom was here for those 16 years to show me the way of life. R.I.P.

3 of my freinds from Watkins Glen NY. died 3 weekends ago.

They were passing a car on the right (the car was turning left) on the high way and they hit teh gravel, and they were sent uncontrallably into the incomming lane. There jetta was crushed by a 32 ton army convoy truck then it rolled over them. They were dead instantly. its a very tough thing to go threw. last week my grandpa died too. Shitty times in Watkins Glen :(

Girl at my high school died today on lee chapel road about 1,000 feet from my house. She was a sophmore and was riding alone in an SUV when she struck a tree and died. Those are about the only details right now, but every year at the same spot someone dies on that road. :(

[in4red6]

i luv all yall. Make sure you guys drive safely. Its much better to live vicariously through another's experience, but its much worse to learn from your own.

Please drive safely. I know its hard sometimes, but the next time you're about to gun it or drive after drinking, think for a second, you could be the next one on this post to be mentioned and remembered. Not to mention all the people that love you that you'll be hurting.

Take care and be safe everyone. . .

I heard about that on the news, a red jeep perpendicular to a fence. I had a bad feeling it was a HS student by the time of the accident and its vicinity to a school. Send my regards if you see the family.

[MKIV]

i agree with in4red6. Im asking everybdy to think before you drink and drive please. just think when your not drinking and driving fast be careful so that NOBODY has to go through the situation ive been through with my mom. It could be yours. just thikn about it.

[in4red6]

I almost died this past thursday. I was driving through an intersection not really expecting anything, but then a car zoomed by going about 50 MPH, I guess he missed the stop sign, but mine had no stop sign. I literally came like 3 feet in missing him. He was going so fast that the first time I saw him was when his car was already in front of my car. If i was only 1 second ahead, I would have hit him, and if I was 2 seconds ahead, he prolly would have hit my side and I prolly would have died on impact.

Don't take life for granted.

God Bless

She went to Lake Braddock and I remember seeing her in the halls a few times. It first really hit me when I walked into school the morning after and it was dead silent. Everyone was crowded around her locker with flowers and signs and just tears all over the place. It was very depressing to say the least. She was not wearing a safety belt and it's probably safe to say that if she had been wearing one she would have survived. Yet coming home from school that day I couldn't help but to notice that the majority of high schoolers were not wearing their safety belts. I cannot understand just why.

She was actually driving her friend's car and had just gotten her license a few days earlier. There is at least one rumor that she was racing, although the reports seem to indicate that speed was not a factor. I would send your regards, but the funeral was today and I did not feel obligated to attend seeing as I did not know her at all other than seeing her maybe once or twice. That, and I had ACT testing. All I can say is people--teenagers in particular--make dumb mistakes and unfortunately have to pay for them. It's very saddening, and I just hope others would learn, but like I said, few people seem to wear their seatbelts at my school. Another fatal accident waiting to happen. :(

It was the year after I graduated from HS and four students from there were on their way to school. They were running late because the driver dropped his mom at work. So, it was the driver and three friends(one of them is the driver's brother). They drove down a kinda steep hill and went thru a light. They turned the corner and swerved to miss a van approaching their lane. Well, the driver was the only one to survive. It was a sad day because they were all outstanding students. The driver ended up serving 18 mos in juvenile. I think losing his brother and friends was punishment enough... R.I.P guys...

[zeroryde]

RIP to Bert, aka Mugen Power, clubrsx member forever...

[WarmPepsi]

Yes sir, we've all lost too many people to vehicle accidents. Some in bad circumstances, some just outta the blue.

i think when you see them driving like before the crash, it kinda gets burned into your mind. 3 years last month, lost the best friend..... drunk driving accident on prom night. yet, what i don't understand...... is the people that were the closest... other than me ( haven't drank since it ).... still do the same stuff. they still drink and drive. hell, one of them is 20 years old, JUST got her license, 2 months prior, and already was pulled over, DUI. I mean, what does it take to make people believe that it can and will happen to them?

and bert. i know anytime i'm driving down a road, i could lose it and something could happen. thats the nature of the beast. i understand people driving fast, testing the edge of things..... thats been around since cars/bikes anything were made..... what i don't understand is people that do stuff that is inherantly idiotic.

such as: Racing AROUND PEOPLE, Being drunk and getting in a car, and people that try to do things, that they KNOW their car is not capable of.

i don't know, this is as much of a rant as anything....... but all i meant was, burt was killed doing what he liked, he loved his car, he loved makin mods to it, he loved postin stuff about it.... his car was the way he made a reflection of himself. and he was killed, driving that car. and he is missed.

[SSS]

Last year, I was @ my best friends birthday party. At around 3 am he had to go drop off his girlfriend @ home, so he went and said he was coming right back....
that never happened...
On his 20th birthday, my best friend was killed by an idiot guy who can't drive. At first the cops thoght it was the ice, but further investigation revealed the car went out of control because of the ice and spun 180 and ended up directly into my friends path. so the driver of the other car was charged, after all, the front of my friends car, struck the passanger door of the other car. The other car (yellow ford focus), had lost control about 10 seconds earlier and was spinning 180 while going around a corner, my friend was coming the oppisite direction and slammed into him :( .
my friend died, and a girl in the other car died as well. My friends passanger is paralyzed as well.
Me and my friends later found out that the driver of the other car, who went to one of our rival schools, a few weeks later addmitted to his friends he was driving really fast and being an idiot while it was icy outside. Me and the boys hunted the guy down, and well, gave him what he deserved.

heres teh aftermath of his crx :(

[2 Smoove]

a couple months ago a friend of mine left school the morning after his mother's death and died driving 100mph into a telephone pole. nobody knows whether or not it was suicide. and in march another friend of mine was killed when his car was cut off on the free way and he spun out of control and rolled off the highway into a ditch, he was pronounced dead at the scene, and he was not the driver and yes he was wearing a seatbelt. very sad things... and each of them i saw the day before their death even when one went off to college, he came back for a couple days. and i talked to him and everything, then the next day he was gone. and also when i was in 6th grade my friend was killed by a truck when he was on his bike...sad stuff.

[Iluvferrari]

june 22 my uncle was going home on his motorcycle when some idiot who couldn't take a second to see where he was going came out of a parking lot and t-boned my uncle on his bike killing him instantly. He was 44 years old, the youngest of 6 children and had 3 kids of his own. There was a picture of the scene in the star the next day and it's safe to say I'll never forget that image or the truck that hit him. All I can say to the other guy is I hope you burn in hell.

[pushok132]

On june 21 2003 the first day of summer, my friend and i were involved in an accident on the freeway. i had 2 people in the car and he had 3. he cut my lane off making me go into him all because a drunk driver hit him from the back making him go out of control. i ended up slaming into his door at 80 miles per hour and ended up going into the wall. his car was pushed to the center of the freeway and his car 2 passengers had no seat-belts. People in my car had seatbelts. Lets just say god was watching us that day as nobody was hurt except a few bumps and small minor cuts. the cars were both completely totalled. Please dont be stupid and drink and drive. Think 2wice before you try to go fast at the time of traffic. I never thought this would happen to me, but it did and it can happen to you too.

[integra_k20a2]

ok heres the story of mine. 2 bestfriends in a 92 prelude. both of them were drunk. driver worse seat belt, the passanger was drivers best friend ever since they were little kids- he didnt wear a seat belt. going 90 on 40 mph area local street the driver loses control hits a pole. his best friend files out the front windows flies 50 feet up in the air hits a brick wall with his head and his head is busted open. he lies tehre on the floor with his head open. apparently the driver did not die. he is now facing 2nd degree murder in Los Angeles County Jail. he sits there everynight with pain knowing he killed his bestfriend....... he says "sometimes i wish i was the one who died instead"

[civtrx]

SSS - :(. I'm so sorry to hear that, the picture made it even more horrific. I thought holy crap 180...then i see the mess....with a head on hit like that, I can't imagine what it would be like. Everything is messed up to hell. Looked like a very nice CRX and I'm so sorry to hear of your friend and his girlfriend dieing...I don't know how you ever got through it. I would never be able to.

I was 11 yrs (17 now) old and in the passenger seat. My 23 yr old uncle was in the drivers seat. In the backseat, Casey Anderson and his twin sister Candy, both of the same age as I at the time. They were the first friends I had met when I moved to texas (4 years prior). Going threw the intersection of Airline and Holy, our car was struck buy a Black Semi, whom ran his red light. I do not remember much. Only the sudden spin, not being able to move, not knowing what happened.... My eyes opened, first thing I saw was my uncle sitting next to me.. no scratches, nothing on him .. "Anthony, ANTHONY, are you alright?!?!".. I was.. but I didnt answer. I could see the Circle K behind him, we were now pretty much in its parking lot (about 50 ft away from the impact). Turned to the left.. to see the rear of the car... which... was not there.. anymore. Only this.. opening, threw which.. people were now starting to crowd.. i guess people whom had witnessed the accident. The second part(s) of the car was/where on the exact opposite side of the intersection as us. I do not remember what happened to the driver of the semi.. charges and what not... i dont remember much of the rest of that year. I do infact remember Casey and Candy... And I still miss them greatly.. RIP.

To add one more story -
About a week and ahalf ago. It had been raining all day, and I was sitting at a red light in a secluded intersection about 3am on my way home. My light turned green, I let up on the clutch, gave it some gas, but i just reved.. hmm.. forgot to put it in gear. ::SCREEEECH::... a Black Semi slides infront of me at about 50 mph. He must have not been paying attention.. he slid all the way threw the intersection then put it back in gear and kept going....... i never forget to put my car in gear... i did that time.. and i believe that if it had been in gear.. that one time.. like it always was before... i should have been right in the middle of the intersection when the driver of the Black Semi realized his light was bright red.

Sorry it was so long.

[DesolateLG]

how did the wreck happen that Bert was killed in?

[WarmPepsi]

single car accident, car dropped off shoulder in road construction zone. over-corrected...... steel, hurricane proof power tower.

[Arcticblue]

Just found out that my friend that works at the dealership with me was gassing up a car at a Gas station around the corner. He was driving back. Lost control of his TL and put the passenger side door into a tree. He was Coded at the scene but they where able to bring him back. They are not sure if he is going to make it. Just everyone please be safe out there..... :(

People like that piss me off. They are the ones who deserve o fuckin get beat down. on a few occassions I have actually tried to catch up to the red light runner and " talk " to them. And when it happens, there is never a cop around to catch em. Theres a fat pig sittin there muggin me b/c i drive a " racer type " car, but there is never a cop when they are needed. :firemad:

Oh and all of this just makes me think even more. I have also seen a fair share of losses. Thankfully it hasnt been anyone that is very very close to me, but it has been someone I knew forn HS or just from around the city, but it makes you think: it can be you or your friends. Thats why I cant ever sit there still at my house when people go off to eat or get more alcohol, especially w/ girls in the car. :firemad: At my house I usually try to stay sober to drive my friends home. B/c I dont want to be the one to explain to their parents where their beautiful daughters and my very good friends went after my house. And why couldnt you stop em. I know it isnt really my responsibilty, but I feel that it is, and that if anything were to happen to any of my 5 or 6 close friends, i do not know WTF I would do. I even try to collect car keys @ my house. It works sometimes, but other times people are too stubborn and unfortunately have to go out and risk learning their own lessons. I know I sound like an overconcerned mom right now, but it doesn pay off to act like one. Sacrifice your night of fun for the sake of your friends getting home alright, that puts a smile to my face. Seein em walk up to the door after getting home safe. Too bad I cant be everywhere and i cant stop other drunks from driving.
:(

[WarmPepsi]

actually, hate to say something like this in this thread....

but if people drink, and you let them drive away, some states actually are starting to hold you liable. i'm not a big drinker, but people's houses that they do..... if you're there, and you drink, you're there all night. you're not leavin. plain and simple.

[ILuvHondas]

A 13 year old girl that lived around the corner from was playing in the street with her back to traffic...a truck trying to go around a double parked never saw the girl. WHen he stopped, he thought he hit the car until all of the screaming people turned his attention to his left rear tire. The girl was under the wheel and was mortally wounded.

It was very sad and I have to say I can't stress enough that pedestrians may have the right of way, but still must use common sense.

[DesolateLG]

alcohol is just as inhibiting as other illegal drugs if not more of some.. (this isnt my point) seriously... just because somethings widespread doesnt mean it should be legal.. but hey, there's really no stopping it.. back in the early 1900s (im not sure of the exact time correct me if you know... i dont remember) when they illegalized alcohol ppl died from home made drinks..ppl also die from drugs that are home made (well, fucking with your own body and mind to get a special feeling is unsafe in itself) theres really no stopping people from being dipshits.. illegalize all the government wants...

my point is that making it illegal for people to let drunks leave a party is NOT going to stop it from happening because a cops not going to be waiting outside of a party for drunks wanting to drive.. theres tons of time between when the person leaves and when they encounter a cop or person smart enough to call the cops b/c of a drunk... the person holding the party or whatever is going on should not be held responsible because theyre probably going to be impared too and the person who ends up driving should have hidden their keys from thtemselves and the ultimate blame should goto the dipshit driver...

oh well, sorry for the long read... i just kept going in different directions in my point and i kinda lost track of what my point was but all i can say is:

:shooting: alcohol + car = fucking stupid :firemad:

:spam:

[DesolateLG]

wow that was a bit incoherent

they can't wait for you outside of a party. they can't wait for you outside of a bar. you are protected that way by the law. if a police officer "waits" for you it is called entrapment and you have a very good lawsuit against that police officer.

[WarmPepsi]

.....

go into court " yeah, judge, i think i should be let off of this DUI, because the officer was sitting there, next to the road...... and well, he knew i was drunk, i don't think it had anything to do with me driving on the wrong side of the road at night with no lights on...."

sue happy morons. :shakehea:

rather than FIX the problem, and don't drink and drive. DUH.

you want to sue the cop for possibly saving your life, and others.

enough said.

[RSXBoy01]

i think that you over-reacted to my statement. you simply said they can wait for you outside and they can't. they can wait down the road if they please however they cannot wait outside.

you are also implying that ALL drunk people cannot conduct in a normal fashion. people who are alcholics conduct their lives living normally (minus the drinking habits) and are able to concentrate the same if not better with alchol.

[thatguywiththersx]

ya, my dad is a cop, and let me tell u they do a lot of stuff there not suppossed to do. in other words dont piss them off or they might happen to find sum drugs on u that u didnt put there or they may "have to forcefully take u into custody" because u were resiting arrest, aka beat ur ass. a word of wisdom- if u wanna fight them or try to run, make sure u stay in front of the dash cam, cause if u dont, well it wont be a very fun expirience when they catch u.

[DesolateLG]

fuck the police

[stolenrims]

My friend Kevin died in a motorcycle accident. He'd had dirt & street bikes since I'd known him, from like 4th grade until last year. He knew what he was doing. But his friend's girlfriend had never ridden before so he took her along with him on a ride. The police aren't sure what happened, but they believe that they were going through a turn and the girl (not having ridden before) got scared and instead of leaning into the turn, she leaned away from it and threw the balance of the bike off. He broke his neck and died instantly, she hit a telephone pole and died also. Even though he was on a motorcycle, which is different from a car, I still want to make the point that you shouldn't take anything for granted. Just because you are an experienced driver doesn't mean accidents can't happen (ice, animals, people, cars, etc.). You don't have control over outside elements and other people. So just be careful always, and don't let your guard down. Be alert, be aware, and be safe, and we won't have so many of these sad stories. :thumbsup:

This is my friend Tommy. Tommy moved into the neighborhood that I grew up in when I was 13. We've been friends ever since. This picture was taken at his 26th birthday party, July 27th, at Outback. He got pretty drunk that night. He always got pretty drunk, cause Tommy was always the life of the party. Everyone who drank that night had a designated driver, and we all had a really good time. I normally see Tommy atleast every Sunday. The group of guys that we all grew up with get together on Sundays to play basketball. With moving and drill weekends, I haven't been able to get there and play. I regret that.

On Friday morning, around 6:30Am I get awakened by a phone call. My friend Tommy was in a serious car accident around 3 that morning and was flown to shock trauma. I called out of work and spent 13 hours that day at the hospital. I wasn't the only one. Tommy's family and alot of our friends came out. 25 in all. We simply waited and waited until we got word around 7pm that Tommy was out of surgery. His skull had been fractured and he had a severe hematoma in his brain. The neurologist was able to repair the damage to his skull, and remove the clot, however because of the swelling. They were not able to tell if there had been any damage to his brain stem, and that it would be a few days before they could. They had to wait until the swelling went down. I went home confident that Tommy would be fine. As hard headed as he was, how couldn't he be?

Saturday afternoon his mother was told that the post operation MRIs showed the extent of the damage, and that her son, even if he lived, would be nothing more than a vegetable. Knowing that her son would not want to live that way, she made the decision to take him off life support.

This is the car that they pulled him out of. He wasn't drinking and he wasn't speeding. Police reports shows that he lost control of the car while in a turn, went off the road and struck a tree. Why he lost control is unknown. What we do know is, that he might well have survived if only he had been wearing his seatbelt. If you took the time to read this, please... wear your seatbelts. I know I'll see my friend again when I leave this world. But until I do, I'm going to tell everyone who'll listen this story and pray that it doesn't happen to them, or anyone they know.

I almost lost my life.....I was in my car-club meeting on a thrusday night, like alwayz we race each other for fun and to test new mods.. So i had done about 5 races that night...when this guy comes and asks me to run. After geting some signs telling me not to i still go and race. It was me in my millenia and a friend and 2 other civics(just the drivers). So we started racing down this long street wit alil curvs, and we were already up there in the 100mph. A CR-V pulls out with no lights at 11:30pm, i swear if it wasnt white i would be dead. So im at around 115 120mph, and i changed lanes and hit the brakes, when the dumb ass changes with me and i swerv to miss him when coming up is a left curv, and my car starts drfiting to the left and i had it in controll till i look around to make sure im not going to hit anyone and powersteering takes over and turns the wheel to the left. Making the car get closer to the side walk, the back of my car go ontop og the sidewalk and hits a tree and takes my trunk off. Then i did around 2 360's and hit a wall with the back of the car and the car ended up around 40feet away from the wall. So i awake and make sure my friend is ok and he doesnt realy respond, so i jump out the car and have to use all my power to open his door, i take off his seat belt and he wakes up. Hes ok(i say to my self thank u god). we both just got a bump on our heads. The car was missing the trunk and was bent in half. My friend was filming but i had to hide the tape befor cops came, i put it under the seat. I got arrest for reckless driving, went to court and got everything droped(cop never showed up) i guess cuz they didnt read me my rights and make me walk bare-foot in glass. I was very FUCKING LUCKY, i havent raced sence and try not to. PLz dont race on the street, even if ur a good driver u dont know how other people drive or what there is ahead of you. This accedent messed up my life, that was the worst year of my life. I got kicked out of school, lost my job , lost my license(unpayed tickets), and lost my ride. I could have lost something more important than those things, MY LIFE!! So plz take alil time to drive out to the tracks and be safe, wear ur seat belt. Dont think "O nothing ever going to happen to me, im to good of a driver(A good driver is a smart driver), and this and that" Cuz u dont know what others are doing. SO many teens have died this year down here in Miami around 10..... Be safe, and god bless you.(we all have our angels watching over us, just dont take them for granted)

A few years back a guy I knew from high school was driving down I-280 in front of Serramonte here in Nor Cal when his car broke down in the fast lane. Details are sketchy but the outcome was a pickup truck either ran into him while he was trying to put up flares or the truck hit and ejected him from the car. He ended up brain dead and the guy who hit him was drinking and lived. Because of his death alot of us drive alot safer now or at least I'd like to believe we do. He was a cool guy, nobody ever had a beef with him. He was that kind of guy. RIP Edgar, you left too early man.

[NighTMarE]

here comes my STORY !!! when i was a little kid like 6-8 years old (now 13)i was going 2 my grandmas house with my cousin also my age.just when we were going 2 make the turn this red pick up truck slams into us we do a 360 spin and hit a bush.dosent sound like a big deal..huh... wrong!!!! just on the other side of the bush about 5 feet was a gas pump.thank GOD for that bush.:eek: .dam truck was speeding :firemad: what an ass i could of died cause of him.and make it worse i wasnt wearing a seatbelt:rolleyes:

so dont drink n drive speed or race its just not worth it :(

[pterribilis]

Well although I did not know the people...I still think it is sad and upsetting this happened. October 4th...the night of one of the Orlando meets..everyone was driving back from LEGAL dragstrip and we begin to stop on a 55mph highway to see this...

http://66.77.170.144/alan/1.jpg

Then I sit in my car for a little while...and then decide to get out after I see this..

http://66.77.170.144/alan/4.jpg

As the 1st Helicopter touches down and puts one of the riders on the bike in a body bag.

And then the second helicopter touches down and brings someone else to the hospital.

What happened? Well, I don't know for sure..but I'm guessing the Driver of the Bronco was drunk (going by some other peoples accounts too) and came out from a side street and hit the biker and his girlfriend.

If a bike did this much damage to the Bronco...just imagine what the bike looked like...

you are also implying that ALL drunk people cannot conduct in a normal fashion. people who are alcholics conduct their lives living normally (minus the drinking habits) and are able to concentrate the same if not better with alchol.

That is totally wrong. Anyone in his right mind knows that drunk people do NOT conduct in a normal fashion, they ARE DRUNK. They give the illusion to be alright, and they feel like they are alright but they are not and their senses are not as if they weren't drunk. Dude did you get your driver's liscense ? One of the questions from the written test is exactly what you just said, it's a right or wrong question. The answer is wrong.

id like to add my recent loss. a friend of mine and my fathers who worked with us died last week while working. i wasnt there, but my father told me they were working when he had a heart attack and collapsed. he died in my fathers arms, and when the ambulance arrived, he could not be revived. my dad told me he wished he could have helped him, but he doesnt know cpr, all he could do was sit there and be with him. i wish i was there too, i didnt get to say good bye or anything. he was a very good friend of my dad and me as well. he was the kinda person who would go out on a limp to help you out for anything. i remember laughing with him, making jokes, and checking out girls with him. ill miss him deeply. no one could ever replace him. thanks for listening guys.

this one is for you Jesse. may the lord be with you and your family. i hope to see you one day buddy. good bye. R.I.P.

I was in a car accident May 29th, I lost control of my car I ended up hitting a concrete barrier and a guard railing. My RSX was totalled, but I walk out unscratch besides shoulder bruises.

I survived that crash because of my seatbelt, it saved my life. It was either because god wanted to give me another chance or it just wasnt my day to die.

Its better not to be cool wearing your seatbelt and live another day, than being cool not wearing it.

Just a reminder you dont control whats going to happen, you can say ur the best driver in the world, but one of this days your luck will run out. Just be prepare when it does.

Integrity - sorry about your friend.

I am not sure where you get your information from but this is as far from the truth as anything I have ever read/heard anyhwere.

Also EVERY professional driver I know, that does well, will not take a sinlge drink withing 24 hours or more of a race. They abstain because they feel that even a single beer slows them down.

So why would the average shit driver think they are better than that?

[Acuraivtec]

Yeah , drinking slow u down, even if drank under the state limit.

One of my closest friends, Felix Allen Recto, was killed early Tuesday morning on October 1st, 2002. He was a Gulf War I vet, and at the time he was a registered nurse. He was on his way home from work at Saint Barnabas in Livingston, NJ where he was a dialysis nurse.

Shortly after midnight he drove through an intersection and was struck by an asshole car thief being chased by police. He died two hours later at UMDNJ in Newark.

He was 32. He was a good man.

I hate.

Some girl at my school killed a pedistrian while drinking and driving after coming home from a party. Stupid bitch I hope she stays in jail for a long time.

[Acuraivtec]

I didnt wanna post this here. But since you brought it up I ll share.
:(
Late friday night (Jan 2) my classmate Jennifer and her 2 other friends Lindsey was on their way home from Orlando. My friend Jen. was the driver. A guy heading from an opposite direction started swirving on and off his lane. And he struck my friends car head on. Everyone from the crash survive except 1, the 42 year old guy had minor injuries, My classmate Lindsey on the passenger side got injurry on her right arms and ribs, the other Lindsey was in the back seat sitting in the middle only wearing the lap belt. Smack her chin on the middle dash. She had to get surgery. And my classmate and friend Jenn. lost her life that night. She didnt wear her seatbelt. She's a HS Senior and we only had 84 days until graduation. I ll miss her.

As for the guy that cause the accident, well I hope he doesnt sleep for the rest of his life ! I know I cant, knowing that I killed a young person. No one , I mean no one has the right to take another persons life. No one !

[ToDa R 05]

In sacramento just a few months ago a Guy in a blue prelude with his girfriend was racing a uknown car down freeport road, whitness's say they say the unknwon car swirving into the preludes lane, as tho he was messing with him, and they say that the driver of the prelude most of gotten scared and hezitated..This caused them to slam head first into a tree a an estimated 80 mph's, the car caught fire with the boy and his gilrfriend both knocked out in the car, whitness were unable to get them out of the car do to the front end damage.

The guy and the girl were both burned to ash's in the car ='( ... May They Rest In Peace..

N' May this forum Topic be a lesson to everyone who races, if your going to race DONT DO IT WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND IN THE CAR!

[Acuraivtec]

Even better if you race, dont take anyone with you, if you die that night, die alone, dont take anyone else with you. And if you dont know the potential of your car, please dont race. If your trying to prove something take it to the track.

Read the quote in my sig. and think about what your doing before you race in the street.

Thats so true.... it really pisses me off when i see ricers with their cars packed at the runs or just anyone racing with passengers. I dont even speed when im with a passenger... like i posted way back when I would not want to be alive if i am the cause of my friends death, id rather die saving them, then live without my friends... oh and answering to a girl's father why you happened to be racing and killed his daugher... OMG i cant even imagine that... i can only say thank god my sister made it through her teen years driving with teenage guys, if i woulda known any better i would have not let her get into those cars... I was 6 tho and i can only vaguely remember hating every guy who ever wanted to talk to her hahaha... Just happy that nothing bad happened... b/c i wouldnt wanna be the guy... I just say stay safe put there and always have it in the back of your head that it could be you... My prayers go out to anyone who has ever lost someone b/c of a bullshit accident that could have been avoided... i know we cant prevent all of em, but we can attempt to stay safe and aware out there... :driving:

I agree with you on that one man... I always think that if i die driving or even racing im know what i was doing and accept it, but if i take another life, oh man.... hurts to think of it... again stay safe :driving:

Some of you might remember that one year ago today, Bert "MuGeN PoWeR" was going really fast in his car and lost control in the result of hitting a pole. He died due to suvere head truma. At the time I went to school with him but never got the chance to know him well but it effected alot of people. RIP Bert... you will never be forgotton :(

Columbus NC: My friend Matts sister died on July 20th, her, Matt and Jessica were driving home from Spartanburg SC, the road did not have proper signs and she ended up in the wrong lane, head on crash, killing her. Matt and Jessica survived w/ minor injury. Family was rewarded alot of money due to the fact that signs were never replaced on that stretch of road. Fast forward three years to the date, July 20th again. Matt and Jessica were on their way to the mountains in NC...Got hit head on by a Military personnel who was left of center, speeding. Jessica died on impact. Matt survived w/ minor injuries once again. Jessica was a friend of mine. She will be missed greatly. R.I.P Jess... :(

Columbus: Another friend of mine, Blakely Coleman died in a auto accident. She was either pushed or fell out of a Jeep(CJ7) no doors. Long story, had to do w/ ex b/f and him being at a football game with another girl while she went to see him. She was crowned Miss Wolverine a couple of weeks after her passing, her brother accepted the crown on her behalf. R.I.P Blakely :(

Charlotte VT: July 4th 2002. Melissa Mack age 9, and Trevor Mack age 4 died. They were my two lil cousins. They were ridin on a sail boat on Lake Champlain, they had tied with another boat to watch the fireworks. For those of you who dont know the lake, at 10 pm its hella dark of course, and the water is very murky/muddy. There fore making it impossible for the parents/officers to find them underneath all the ropes and misc. things on the boat. They were both found about 30 mins after the wreck, tangled up in all the ropes. They were both so young. Their sister was down below sleeping, she survived. Most importantly, the driver of the boat they were on, was drunk. He is a drunk. He has loads of money and all he does is drink. He killed two children b/c of his drunkin ways. The funeral was horrible. Being a member of the family was tough to stand there as ppl came by to give their condolences. There were over 900 ppl at the Funeral. The line to the cemetary was guessed to be 3 miles long. The church was packed, they had to set up tv's in the front lawn for those who wanted to watch but couldnt get inside. Carrying Trevors casket was the hardest thing i've ever done. He was so young. I like to drink, its fun sometimes, but you will never, ever find me drinking when im drunk. There is no reason for it and b/c of it Many Many ppl have died, including my two little cousins. These two were very close to me. Trevor would always want me to play baseball with him when I was up there. R.I.P Trevor and Melissa, you will always be missed. :(

where to begin... 2 brothers left that nite after eating dinner to go to the 'runs' as San Jose Type ppl call it. RIchard (older) and David (younger)
Richard took the Gs400 with david sitting shotgun and apparently 2 other ppl in teh car (not a good idea)

we all know sedans dont handle that well with 4 ppl in it, but at 100+ mph they were racing down a street when a car came out of no where, and they tried to avoid an accident, but resulted in hitting a tree...David wasn't wearing his seatbelt so he was ejected from teh car...Everyone else was injured but nothing serious.
RIP David, you were one hell of a guy

[stokes_rsx_s]

about a 3 months ago i met a guy named ed...i met him through some friends b/c i had an eclipse at the time and he drives a pretty modded 98 integra and he always wanted to race me but it never happened...we just hung out at my freinds house and what not...about a month ago i hear through some people at school that 3 drunk kids(ed didn't know they were drunk at the time) in a prelude got next to him(in the wrong lane on a two lane street) and reved at him...and you gotta know the guy..he'll race anyone in any car..so they both drop gear...and it's a really shitty street to be racing down( midway down the street the curb buldges into the street b/c the city built the street around the tree) and its in a heavily populated neighborhood anyways...so they get going and about 100 feet into the race the prelude loses control and slams into ed.....ed doesn't lose control but he slams on his brakes and slows back down to about 40 or so and the car slams into a fence, though a back yard, and into someones house... the driver and front seat passenger died..the 3rd passenger is still in the hospital after a month... ed is in the process of selling his car i belive and getting out of street racing for good...just track time

[darkdragoon]

you have issues man

[rsxkhan]

While getting killed by a drunk driver is probably impossible to prevent, the stories about street racing pisses me off. A couple months ago, a bunch of punks street racing 80+ mph in 45 mph zone, collided into another car and killed a father who was just trying to take his kid to school. Of course the punk street racer lived, though he should be made to sit in prison for the rest of his life, and never be able allowed to drive again.

No wonder insurance is so high, reading all these stories of kids driving cars their parents bought them and wrecking them. Best way to solve this problem is to make the insurance costs so high for reckless drivers, that they'll be forced to take the bus.

[adambray2]

This is the first time i am posting but have been a member for a couple of months now and this is the only topic that i have had the urge to post on.

A few months ago 3 of my friends were on there way home from a party and they all had been drinking. The road they were driving on is considered one of the worst roads in the county. It is extreamly had to drive even if sober. The driver of the car was intoxicated and lost control of the wheel due to the lack of driver experence, and intoxication. Their car was fliped on its top and submerged under about 5 feet of water in the cold of the winter. The driver (16) survived with a few scratches due to the fact that she had an air pocket, the girl in the frount seat(16) died before she reached the hospital due to head trauma, and the girl in the back (14) was pronounced dead later that night at the hospital due to hypothermia and drowning.

Right now the whole county is still stirred up even though this occured 4 months ago. Charges have been pressed against the 18 year old high school student whos house it was at and his 21 year old sister who purchased the alcohol for them. ( they both face up to 2 years in jail). The driver of the car is charged with 2 counts vichicular homoside and DUI.

Both girls will be sadley missed. One was a great unique person and the other the most stunning girl ive ever met( she was a model).

Please excuse my spelling and grammar it was hard to write this.
RIP: MJT & OGS

[stoner]

November 2002 after I graduated from high school, me and my girlfriend were going to go to a party in Tampa (we live in Orlando). She had to get down there early, so she was driving, and I drove down there a few hours later. A car had cut her off the road on I-4 because they weren't paying attention, and had been drinking. She lost control of the car, went over the median, and slammed headon into two cars heading towards Orlando. She was killed on the spot (no seatbelt, and I had told her to wear it numerous times, and she would when I road with her), but she didn't this time around...GRR. She is greatly missed by lots of people we went to high school with, she was the head cheerleader and had so much going for her. The funeral at my church had well over 2,500 people attending, not just from my high school, but other ones around the area.

The worst part of it is, they contacted her mother and told her, but nobody called me. I got down to Tampa about 4 hours later (obviously the wreck was cleared up), but she was no where to be found. The entire night I was searching for her until I finally called her mom and she told me what happened. I wanted to kill myself because I knew that she could have at least had a chance if she was wearing a seat belt. She got ejected through the windshield and I have no idea what happened after that... :(


Life does move on, just be careful what you do with it. If you drink, don't drive. Like most beer labels say "Drink Responsibily". You can make a difference just by following that one simple little rule.

[XxMiller_RSX_05xX]

about 8 years ago my cousin died due to basically lack of a caring parent.. but anyways she was 13 and her friend went over to her house and then asked her if she wanted to go driving for a bit.. which in any other family the parent would have said no.. her mom just said, have fun! (to be brief), and her friend was only about 15 at the time which she really had no reason even being on the road.. but later that day.. we got a call that she had died on that trip, with that friend, the same friend that her mom told it would be OKAY for her to let her daughter drive with her.. the car was found in a tree.. yes thats right.. it was about 10 foot up a tree.. which is where it laid to rest after it was shot up the trunk about 20 feet.. how it was shot up the tree i do not know.. but i figure it was from the very large ditch right beside it.. .. and the main reason for the wreck (other than an unexperienced driver) was due to a massive hydroplane), the side of the tree from what i saw was all split up the side.. as if it had been struck by lightning.. my cousin was thrown around 35-45 feet from the car.. through the windshield.. her friend was wearing a seatbelt.. but it wouldnt help any in a situation such as what had happend.. the impack on the top of the windshield where the visor is what killed them both, but my cousin went through the windshield and that cut her up beyond imagination.. its all really hard for me to remember though.. i was 9 at the time.. but if only her mom would have been a true mom.. like most peoples.. it may have never happend.. bye all, hope u all stay well, and sorry for others of you that have lost loved 1s also.

Over the past year and a couple of months I have grown a deep hatred towards street racers.
Last year in november, my g/f's absolute best friend driving around a blind turn down in irving and two street racers, one on the correct side of the street and the other pacing him on the wrong side of the street came around the bend. (The police estimated 80-95 mph based on skid marks). She was hit at an angle, her airbags deployed, but did not die instantly. She was hit by the racer at an oblique (front fender sides) angle which caused her to spin into an intersection where she was promptly impacted on the passenger side by an Escalade, killing her.

Also, my first car was a 2001 mitsubishi Mirage. it was a nice looking show car, Evo V wide body conversion, and I managed to keep it as far away from Rice as I could. Well, after getting it back from my body shop (I rear ended a Suburban @ about 5mph..just bumper damage) i was following my mom back to our house. ::Note:: From here on is what the police report said; I can't remember anymore of that day, and youll find out why. Apparently, I was making a left turn at a T-junction, and the light was a green arrow. As I pulled out into the intersection, I was hit by a possible street racer in a Honda Civic, going at "highway speeds", which is what the police report said. He hit me directly on the driver's side door. For all of you that dont know, the Mirage does not have Side impact airbags. I was spun 2 1/2 times and rammed into a pole on the opposite median, crushing my car. Thanks to my airbag, which knocked me out, the only thing I remember about that day is the riced out Dodge Neon at the body shop and waking up after being airlifted to Parkland Hospital where I stayed for 2 weeks. I suffered 3 broken tranferous processes(the little parts that hold the muscle onto your spine), and large fracture on my pelvis, a tear in my spleen and a bone bruise that covered my leg from my groin to my kneecap. I'm so lucky to be alive, and I know the damages street racing can have on others; serious injury and death firsthand. I despise street racers with every atom of my being. They took one of my best friends and then caused me some of the worst pain imaginable. Thanks guys.... :thumbsdow

While I'm digging up old threads...

Pat was a nice guy. He enjoyed bikes, cars and went out on a limb to help whoever asked. He was out with us one night a few months ago. There were about 300 people on this road. There were tons of cars ready to line up and it went without a hitch.

After most of us had left, Pat (on his bike) and 2 others on their bikes too were leaving the place. Some drunk 15 year old kid in a Bronco or whatever it was backed out in their way, had no license, no lights on and no business even being behind the wheel of a vehicle. The guys said Pat tried to lay his bike down but there was no time. He his the kid's truck and it killed him almost instantly.

To put icing in the cake, the local news tried to relate that to drag racing which was clearly not the case, they were just riding out of there.

RIP Pat.

recently, some kids were playin with a ball in their driveway. they accidently lost control of the dodgeball and it hit a ladies suv with no damage. the kids told her that they were sorry and she drove away......a few houses down, and turned around, chased the kids down in her suv, and ran over the three kids. one was killed and the others were in the hospital........that is just sick...........RIP

my friend had just bought a brand new wrx, and had put exhaust u-tec controller, turbo timer and a few other mods, it was slightly faster than the stock sti. i told him i was thinking of gettin a rsx-s and he told me i should get a wrx........and then it led onto "this is why you should get a wrx"........he and i were in the car, no seatbelts, driving from the side to the back of an old walmart, about to do a huge drift. we got up to speed, approx 65-70?.... :driving: and as he cuts the wheel, the car started moving but he cut the wheel more and nothing happened, the car hit the curb, which broke the right rim, turned the car sideways, and i remember opening my eyes and seeing a tree on the windsheild. we pulled a 20ft tree out of the ground and it landed on the car. the airbags never went off, we had to crawl out of the car, and both of us were unharmed. the car was indeed totaled, i mean everything was fucked, even the a=pillars were bent from the inpact. the body shop said that we should be dead even if the airbags did go off.......weird stuff huh? :crazy: and that was the end of the wrx. a few weeks after the wreck, we went back to the old walmart, and found that his bumper was stuck under the tree. it took 6 of us to get it out, but we got it for a memory.
after that experience, he thought of his past gsr acivic, and bought a civic hatch and dropped a type-r motor in it. i knew hed come back to the honda world :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

[NYC Flip 22]

Last mo, i think December 16, my friend Roger Fares, whom I haven't spoken to since 8th grade graduation (4 years ago) was driving around with a permit in NYC in the car with his mom in the front passenger seat and his dad in the back. He was driving through an intersection when a police car was in pursuit of an alleged criminal. As he was driving thru, the police ran the red light doing around 85/90mph on that public road and struck his car. His mom, a nurse died in the accident and his dad got in a coma. Roger thought it was his fault and blammed it on himself. His father didn't know that she died because he was still in the coma. Roger's sister is in denial..I never got to visit or talk to him.
I'd like to remember and pray for him and his family. R.I.P.

[dc5s]

Im sorry for the loss and that right there is why pursuits should be outlawed. Criminals/Speeders should be stopped, however i think it would be much safer to be on the road with one criminal/speeder instead of a speeder desperatley trying to flee and a swarm of adrineline fueled cops! It really pisses me off that if they run a light in pursuit they are not held at fault for accidents caused by their rash dicisions. Being that high up on adrineline is just like being on Cocaine, there is no pain, it reverts the human psychi to its original "animal" state, at which point its either "FLIGHT OR FIGHT". What do the cops think is going to happen when you get several people on both sides of that spectrum on a public road/highway? Its never going turn out good.
Have you ever seen a police chase end with the bad guy just pulling over? Nope. There is usually a spectacular accident in which innocent people die or get injured. Accidents that wouldnt occur if the cops were so iching to look like they do something. Why cant the cops just slow down their cameras and find license plates and serve a warrant?

BTW. I was killed in a car accident November 13, 2002. A Mercedes ran the stop sign (before the light) at Bourgefeld and 281S. He struck my pathfinder (traveling at 65mph) broadside at 30mph, through the amazing works of physics, my pathfinder rolled on its side at around 95mph and slammed roof first into a light poll. That impact sent the car airbourne and cartwheeling, it landed on its passenger side rolled 4 times before coming to a rest on its driver side. It did all of this while i hung out of my sunroof (the roof had come down level with the doors). I woke up confused, then i started asking questions that made no sense. 30 minutes into the ordeal, i overheard the chief of police say "this kid is going to die before we get him out, lets get the jaws of life over here" as i heard the sound of the two helicopters hovering above me (one was life-flight and the other was a local news chopper). 45 minutes after the benz ran the sign i was out of the car and being carted across 281 towards the helicopter. Thats the first time i died, they managed to resussutate me inflight. Once to University Hospital i was pushed into ICU...and left. The next time i saw a nurse or doctor was when he had those zapper things in his hands. (that was the second time to die.) Turns out my body had suffered such forces that it shut down my orgins few by few to check if they were working. The adrenaline in my blood stream made me feel nothing! All in all, i had a crushed left collar bone (the roof collapsed so fast that it barily missed my head and grabbed my shoulder), a seperated shoulder, and 8 stiches in my right jaw.

Damages to the car:
The body was bent in half
the front seats were both bent in half with no headrests
rear seat was crushed between the roofliner and the framerails
passenger door was foled onto the front fender
otherwise completely totaled

Because of this i have a very very bad short term memory, as in i dont remember yesterday to last week (10 years to regain it), severe mental trauma (i can barily go through that light when its green), however the gains far out wieght the losses: i have found new meaning in life, a whole new hold on reality, i value every minute like its my last, my family and my girlfriend(my best friend) mean everything to me, and i survived the unsurvivable. I HAVE ALL NEW FAITH!!! and im not afraid to die because i know it doesnt hurt. Thank you for reading this and please learn from this, NEVER RUN A LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE GOING OR WHAT KIND OF RUSH YOU MAY THINK YOUR IN! EVERY CHANCE YOU TAKE IS A CHANCE TO NOT GET A SECOND CHANCE!!!

DRIVE SAFE

My mother's boyfriend was killed in an accident where a truck was parked in the middle of a small road and in a turn. At the funeral the preacher said a few things that have always stuck with me. One of them was that they're not gone, they're just gone to a different place.

I know it doesn't sound like much but I lost my father 10 years or so ago. I still recount on things he did and said. It's just part of life. It doesn't mean we have to like it, but deal with it.

I know there can be months between replies in here, but they're still all worthwhile regardless of the time.

Not to long ago me n my friend like dumbass went joy riding. we r only 16 with our permits but he said he was going with or without me so i went to try n make sure he didnt do anything really stupid. didnt really work. He has a chevy s-10 pick-up. We went around doing burnouts n shyt. Well we came to a stop sign. He started burnin out n then released n started movin pickin up speed again but we fish tailed n head strait for a telaphone pole. Luckily we missed the pole by about 4 feet but in the process the truck spun sidways. We went onto the side of the road into a little ditch. when we hit the ditch the truck nearly tipped over going up on 2 wheels. The front left tired came right one rim. we had to drive about a half mile back to his house that way.

Any kids reading this take my advice when i say DONT GO JOY RIDING

[RSXboi02]

My good friend Greg Salmon was also killed in a car accident back in December when him n his friends were going to fast on back roads. supposedly a deer jumped out, they swerved to miss went off the road roled, the roof of the car slamming into a tree killing my friend who was riding in the passenger side instantly. he was only 16.

rest in peace Gregory Salmon

Well I lost one of my friends in a motorcycle accident. He hit a car head on and he had his motorcycle liscense so he was only 15.Then the same time this year I girl friend of minehit a power poll in her saturn and killed her.

[tramosaur]

Luckily I don't have anything to post in here *touch wood* but once my friend was going down a long stretch of road (we were at a party and it wasn't that great so 4 of us jumped in the car and went for a ride) He had only had the car for a while (Nissan EXA) and we were going about 80kmph when he pulled the hand brake (to this day I have no fucking idea what he was trying to do, there was ditches on both sides of us and its a FWD car) anyway the backend started to slide out to the right a little bit and he mustve panicked and released the handbrake and then jumped on the brakes, we started heading left, tyres screeching and we slammed into the ditch. His car was totalled but none of us were hurt.


I read every post on here and I just find it hard that so many people don't take the 2 seconds it takes to put on a seatbelt. What reasons are there for not putting on a seatbelt? Whenever I put mine on I can hardly notice its there when I am driving, so it can't be that its uncomfortable. :s

I have a very good friend in the Hospital right now with Shatterd hip Brain Damage Broken leg and arm, Hole in lung busted bladder damged liver And is in s Coma. All this from a drunk driver that he was riding with. They hit a tree and pretty much he was sitting right where teh tree hit.

On my birthday (September 28) last year, I received a phone call from my mother's home number. I was thinking, "oh, how nice, Mom's calling to wish me a happy birthday!" I was on leave at the time, basically wasting my days so I wouldn't lose them. Well, it wasn't my mother. It was a New York State Trooper who lives up the road from her calling to tell me some bad news.

My father had been in an accident. He was just on vacation the two weeks prior, and he was two days into his new week, doing what he normally does on Tuesdays, which was going around to the area merchants and collecting the old unsold newspapers from the previous week.

Anyway, apparently, he came up to a slight curve (however slight it was, it was a blind one) on his route and a gentleman in a CR-V came over into his lane and hit him head-on. Neither of the men made it. http://www.caranddriver.com/idealbb/images/smilies/15.gif

I flew home the next morning for the viewing and the funeral. There were soooo many people at the wake. Dad made friends everywhere. At the time he was doing his route, it has been said he was probably taking his time, stopping and talking to everybody on his route as he normally did. I often think about the last person he talked to at his last stop, and how the person must feel for either keeping him there talking, or not keeping him there long enough. Just one minute would've made a difference. I also think about the first person on the scene, who called the police. What a horrific scene to come up to first thing in the morning, you know?

I feel guilty sometimes for surviving my own accident a little over a month prior. But I guess we all have our time to go, and apparently, it was Dad's. He spread his influence enough, I guess, and it was time to go. He had just celebrated his 68th birthday on September 3, the day I drove my new car home.

When he realized my replacement car had a V8, his response was, "oh well." But know what? I know he'd be proud to know that my V8 probably gets better (or at least comparable) highway fuel mileage than his Buick V6 did.

Anyway, I'm sorry for being so late to this topic. I just now came across it and decided I'd share a little something about the number one man in my life, Paul Joseph LaShomb.

Rest in peace, Dad. You rule!

This is a true story check it out in the chicago tribune couple days ago.

Some 14year old stole a family members rental car a 2005 jetta or something. Well he was bookin down a street doin over 100 and came aross a set of old railroad tracks. He lost controll and got ejected from the sunroof flew 50 feet into the air right on a huge power line and got eletricuted to death before he hit the ground. The car also flipped like 10 times so ether way he was a goner.

Odd this came up now, one of my great friends who actually influenced me to buy my RSX, was racing with his WRX STI when he got up to 150 on a side street, he hit big bump, and obviously couldn't get control of the wheel at that speed. Lost control and flew into a wall, the car instantely lit on fire, he was killed immeditately. Car was totaled. My other friend in the passenger seat luckily got out with only minor burns, and a broken arm.

Makes you reconsider racing. Obviously he wasn't thinking; going 150 down a side street, but man, anything can happen. Be careful guys. It isn't worth your life. R.I.P. Arthur Estrada We'll miss you.

a friend of mine died a few months ago. he was coming home from the Hot Import Nights @ LA with a couple of friends. my ex gf (whom i didnt talked to for about 3 yrs since breakup) was driving, the guy was in the passenger seat and tehre was 2 or 3 other girls in the rear seats. im not too sure what actually happened, but it is said that my ex made an illegal u-turn and a truck ram right into the passenger door. the guy died instantly, and the girls were sent to the hospital. when this happened, i was at friend's house working on a group project. my friend got a phone call tellin her about the news. she screamed omg how could this happen, but for soome reason i didnt ask her what it was.

well 2 days later, monday at school the news spread. i was shocked. it was a really strange thing to know that a person i was so close with was involved in a fatal accident. i quickly made contacts with people and found out the rest of the girls was fine.

the guy's funeral was attended by many teachers and friends of his. he laid in the coffin not by himself, but with stuff animals that his parents had put in for him. he was a cool and funny guy, i had 2 classes with him. whenever the class gets quiet, he was the one to make it loud again.

RIP DANNY WONG.

ps. i now talk to that ex gf of mine a lot, and we've become close friends again. appreciate everyone in your life while you can, because one day you might wake up not seeing them again.

One of my best friends was driving his roommates 04 accord 6spd 6cyl. and picked up one of my other friends...my best friend Andy(the driver) gunned it down this two street full of hills. doing about 115mph he lost it over one these hills that had sent the car airborne. Andy was not wearing his seatbelt and the passenger,Brett, was. Andy was ejected from the car as soon as it hit the first set of trees. Brett was stuck along for the ride b/c he was wearing his seatbelt. while andy walked away(traumatized beyond any point i could ever imagine) brett was still stuck in the car. the passenger seat had literally turned a full 45degrees on the mouunting bracket and had his head stuck about 8 in. higher, than the height of his head normally sitting, with his head trapped between what was left of the door frame and a godamm tree. the rest of his body was still in the normal sitting position under the circumstances... brett spent 10 days in the ICU with a 10% chance to live. Othe 11th day his parents opted to take him off of the life support.

dont blame it all on the alcohol. i feel that overconfidence, not paying attention and recklessness are even more dangerous then drinking. And whats worse, you cant prove that. Im lucky that i dont know anyone close who died in an accident. But ive seen many times potential deadly accidents at high speed because some moron is on a cellphone or some dumb bitch is applying makeup. Dont even get me started on idiots that race in traffic.

my condolences to the ones that lost.

On May 29 of this year, i was havin a donut at like 2:30 A.M. in Bayonne(a meet-up spot) when i decided to go home. I pulled out and got to a red light. It turned green and as i took off maybe 10 ft. i was struck head on by two fuckin 15 yr. old idiots in a Lexus with no liscense that ate their red light. I never saw him and dont remember a thing. My earliest memory is tryin to get outta my car,(which to this day i dont know how i got out because the door was crushed) then its me in the ambulance and next thing i know im at the Hospital. Needless to say i was in shock, i had a broken ankle and i was walking around when a nurse decided to look at my foot. I dunno if the kids were drunk or not. I do remember being in the ambulance with the kid that was driving the lexus. They had him on the stretcher and he had his whole leg broken. I know this is for people who have passed away but i honestly think i should've died that night. Check out the pics...let me know how mines compare to what you've seen...

A good friend of mine named Joe LaFlamme, died this past year in a traffic accident. He was on his way home from college with his girlfriend and 2 other friends. The road was wet and the driver was going too fast and they hit a tree at what was said to be around 80 mph. Joe was thrown from the back seat on to the pavement where he died instantly. Joe graduated from Lee High School in Lee, Massachusetts in 2005, he was a captain of the football team, Honor student, and was studying religion. He wanted to be a priest but I guess God needed him more in Heaven. He was a genuine friend to all and a great guy. Please everyone think for a second the next time you decide to see what ur top speed is or if you can beat the ricer revving his motor next to you at the stoplight. I hope none of you ever have to see a father broken down on the ground in tears, and a mother rubbing and kissing her sons casket. R.I.P. Joe, you will be greatly missed by all those who you touched in your time with us. God sent us an angel when he gave you to us. Why do only the good die young?

Damn my friends grandma that i've known probably my whole childhood died today sucks you know everytime i saw her she was pretty cool she had an injury to the head she was probably 70 something I wish good luck to there family; I also lost my friend to a atv accident with a head injury also Ijust wish she was wearing a helmet still I cant seem to get it through my head that shes gone I wish she was still here I remember one day when I called her name and saw her look back and see her beautiful smile and call my name out and say hey I remember that the most for some reason I know this doesnt seem much but I feel for everyone out there and I hope no one has to go away without a happy life live life to the fullest just dont do stupid stuff and stay out of trouble and look out for the ones you care for. Also you might love speed and driving your car but when your are doing that your putting others in risk it might be fun just keep that speed at the track.

[outrider2288]

2 years ago yesterday, my dads best friend was driving home from a party drunk. He was almost home but he lost control of his Jeep and swerved left into an open field. Had he stayed on this path he would have been fine, but he over-corrected, and crossed the street again, hitting a huge tree killing him instantly. The cops assumed he was trying to light a cig before he wrecked becuz they found his lighter in a hole that he had punched through the counsle at impact.
That was the first night that i have ever seen my dad cry, its was a sobering (no pun intended) moment for me. I will never drink and drive. its sad that this has to happen to ppl before they realize that drinking and driving is stupid.

The sad thing is, this thread has made a record of three years. Has anything changed since the first post???

it might not have changed for the whole community, but idividuals KNOW stuff has changed. every person went through a drunk driving tragedy is encouraging others to stop driving intoxicated, so yes. stuff has changed. maybe not a lot, but every little bit helps...

yep, 100% agreed.

Some people, they just never get it, but for others, it's a life changing event.

A good friend of mine named Joe LaFlamme, died this past year in a traffic accident. He was on his way home from college with his girlfriend and 2 other friends. The road was wet and the driver was going too fast and they hit a tree at what was said to be around 80 mph. Joe was thrown from the back seat on to the pavement where he died instantly. Joe graduated from Lee High School in Lee, Massachusetts in 2005, he was a captain of the football team, Honor student, and was studying religion. He wanted to be a priest but I guess God needed him more in Heaven. He was a genuine friend to all and a great guy. Please everyone think for a second the next time you decide to see what ur top speed is or if you can beat the ricer revving his motor next to you at the stoplight. I hope none of you ever have to see a father broken down on the ground in tears, and a mother rubbing and kissing her sons casket. R.I.P. Joe, you will be greatly missed by all those who you touched in your time with us. God sent us an angel when he gave you to us. Why do only the good die young?


the good die young because they don't have to prove the rest of their life that they are worthy to be in heaven... R.I.P. to those that has passed to the next life. and to everybody that has lost someone, they aren't completely lost as long as you remember them.

i also had a friend who died by a drunk driver...

:bow: well said.


about this time 2 years ago an old friend of mine was killed in a car accident. I had known him since i was about 5, mabe 6, and we grew apart in our later years because he got heavy into drugs. he was only 17, and was driving in his friends jetta on a backroad near my house. The guys car lost control and slid sideways into a pole, and then the pole fell on top of the car killing Will instantly. I remember I was in florida for my 16th birthday and I got one call saying that he had passed and another one 3 h ours later saying that his girlfriend was pregnant with his kid. She had the baby and his parents were gracious enough to take baby Will in as their own and help Amy out with everything. I regret not being as close with him as i was when we were kids.


my condolances to all of you that have lost as well, we all get there at some point.

this is sad

[yakuzamonkey]

i've lost counless friends in the military to roadside IED's while on convoys in Iraq, some of those incidents I was personally there and witnessed these attacks. I personally am a survivor of an attack, but they only managed to flip our Hummvee over and we all surivived with minimal injuries. I don't feel bad though, I see that surviving a roadside bomb attack is a blessing and my friends lost would have wanted each other to survive, and I would have taken their place in a heartbeat given the chance-- that's how Marines roll. However, it does suck watching your best friends get blown to pieces, and all we could do is sit there and watch in horror and feel helpless.

:beerchug: lets drink in their honor. Without driving, of course... heh heh.


(I guess this counts as a vehicular "accident", right?)

[Inspire]

I've been in 3 fatal accidents and survived them all. I haven't even got my license yet and I'm 18 going on 19. but damn I still have flashbacks of all the wrecks that happend. Recently a good friend of mine got into a car accident where a truck ran through the rear of the car and swerved right back to the passenger side door. Talk about fatal he was in a coma for 3 months and its just not the same. But I'm glad he is still alive. Remember to drive safe and don't drink. It's not worth it. Respects to all the loved ones lost and remember, they're alive as long as you have them in your hearts...

[Got_Leather]

this isnt car related but i lost my best friend nov 4th 2006 due to a fungus in his stomach that he got while he was fighting lukemia for 2 yrs...this was his 2nd time getting sick, he beat it, then 4 months later he had a relapse. we live in northern va but he was at duke in durham nc...anyways this fungus he got was shutting down his lungs and causes them to collapse. so for 4 days he was on a machine helping him breathe and day by day his body would be more dependent. finally on sat morning at 12.30 on nov 4th, the machine was 100% breathing for him. this is a huge loss to me and many others that knew him. he was the crazy outgoing person that always made u laugh and as well he had a 344whp 20th anniv. GTI...it was the yellow rocket. at the funeral we had 544 ppl and 181 cars for the burial. blake will always be my hero, insperation and my best friend...miss u blake..

RIP 11-4-06

See ya soon Blake

His friend drove a type s. His buddy asked him to run but craig kept saying no. Well the next night we went out again just me craig and his BF, we went to a car meet when it was over they invited me to a party i said no, i'll see ya on sunday craig and went home. On sunday i called his cell phone to see if he was still down to roll out, his brother answered and said that craig had passed away in a car accident. He was running his BF and apparently hit a bump and slammed into another truck. Craig was taken to the hospital where he layed to rest at 12 noon. At his funeral it was said that craig loved cars so much and his aunt said she couldn't wait to see him in heaven so him and her can ride in her bmw together it was so sad. RIP craig you will always be missed and never forgotten by me, corey, david, kenny.

last march my friend oscar who was the coolest guy you ever could meet ,worked at a car dealership told me how cool it was because he had to go to, san antonio to drop off a car, and in the dealership they had a lambo(his dream car) and he got to sit in it, about a week later his dad showed up to his work in his friend lambo and took my friend for a ride...they took a turn going fast 150-160mph they started sliding for about 100 feet(there were tire marks)and hit a curb the car ended about 40 feet from the curb which they hit the car rolled over and caught on fire...both my friend and his dad passed away. RIP Oscar

Back in October, October 17th actually, one of my close friends, Stas Krivosheev passed away in a hit and run. He was on his way back from fencing practice and his father was driving. Stas was amazing, the classiest guy you'd ever meet, he was going to graduate Valedictorian by a long shot, he had sooo much potential, and he used it too, he was a great friend, son, fencer (world class fencer), and commrade. RIP STAS.

[Vox Populi]

Didnt know someone personally in this sotry, but the closest I have come. My dad (now deceased), my little brother, and myself were at a stop light watiing to make a left hand turn. We were the second car in line and there was a 1st Gen DSM in front of us with a blonde girl in the driver's seat. The light turned green and we started thru the intersection. We didnt have time to see or hear the motorcycle that was coming thru the intersection, blowing his red light. he hit the passenger side of the eclipse in front of us at almost 100mph. Burried his bike in the car to the point where the girl was pinned in the driver's seat by it. He was thrown from the bike and was in the air for what seemed like an eternity. He died instantly and the girl was injured pretty bad as well. Just to think that if we were one car in front of where we were, that would have been one of us (at least) that would have most likely lost our lives.

RIP to all those who have passed on. Drive safely to the rest of us.

a kid I work with is only 18 with a new SI and last week was racing an integra when the integra crashed..the driver was ejected from the car and died instantly and the passenger died in the ER..this happened at 2 a.m. and it had been the driver's birthday the day before. Now the kid I work with is being charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter because when it happened he pulled over and apparently confessed to the police...it's not worth it RIP

My beloved big brother(R.I.P)

[killertofupanda]

had someone in my H.S. died in car accident. she was a sophomore who was drunk that night AND wasn't wearing a seat belt. a speeding semi hit her car and driven into a stop sign where she was waiting at an intersection. although i didn't know the girl and i hated the fact how the school was so obsess in holding a funeral in her name (when other considered less important students died and didn't get squat expect a moment of silence. this person was a cheerleader. go figured), i have to admit that too many wrongs happened the night of her accident. she died a couple days later in ER when the doctors were expecting her to live after stabilizing her condition... sucked balls. RIP. Erica Cline.

another story was one of my best friends had a friend i do not know. he owned a srt-4 and was street racing a mustang (the newer ones) and lost control, hitting a tree, and died at impact. the mustang guy drove off and never was found.

ever after hearing this, i've stopped street racing altogehter. it's really a damn shame all my friends kept doing stupid shit on the roads like racing and fucking last wednesday (oct. 10), i go to a car meet to find out one of them drinks (and he's muslim too! wTF?!). should have bashed his head with the bottle.

it pisses me off. :firemad:

[olsen928]

so reading all these stories bring back memories of my highschool years when several of my fellow classman were killed due to speeding or drinking and driving. my two worst experiences being my best friend and a girl i dated her little sister. First my best friend since he moved to my school our freshman year. no body liked him b/c he was new but he lived by me and i got to know him, like him and introduce him into our click. Everyone through highschool loved dustin he was a great guy. we were friends all throught highschool and had been graduated for aobut a year when this happended. one night we were all out at the bar me him and several friends haveing a good time. he kept on wanting to leave with this girl, were gna go chill were gna go chill he kept saying, and im like no man just hang here you don't need to be out running aroung drinking and driving. never the less they left the bar him the girl and another friend. Dustin driving a GTi vr6 with the guy up front and the girl in the back hit the road. As the passenger antagonizing dustin about his car being faster, he decides to show him sitting at a light as it turned green he turned of on to a back road and began to accelerate and go thru the gears on a road posted 40mph. The girl getting scared at this point puts her seatbelt on at the last minute, no one else wearing them. as he goes through the first curve he loses control and hit a telephone pole head on. he and the guy are ejected from the car. Dustin dies instantly and the passenger is severly injured, the girl walked away with a few scratches. the speedometer was stuck on 90 mph even after the wreck. and to make it worse he wrecked in the yard of a girl we went to school with who we were very close too. she ran outside and found the scene of the accident in her fornt yard. i woke up very early the next morning at a friends house hearing voices in the hall, im thinkig that sounds like matt what the hell is he doing here, at that time the door opened and i could tell he was very upset. im like what.....whats wrong. he said dustin wrecked last night and didn't make it. that was such a sureal moment, day, even week. having to immediatley go to his house and be with his family and help her through this losing her only son. i still miss him very much and he will always be in my heart. After the investigation it showed he had been drinking but wasn't over the legal limit and speeding was the cause of the accident.
you will always be in my heart Dustin Mahoney

My second story is about Courtney hensley (google Johnson city TN and her name i gurantee you find many articles on this) She had just won homecoming queen on friday night. she went to walgreens to drop off her her camera to get the pictures developed. the next day she was sitting at a redlight a mile from walgreens in downtown Johnson City with her friend courtney going to pick up the pictures. About half a mile away a boy from a local rival highschool driving a blown mustang pulls out beside a viper. they get into it and begin to race down the strip at over 100mph. no one knows exactly what happend but the boy in the mustang rearends the girls sitting dead still ad the redlight at over 100mph. the car (honda crv) flew 200 feet and burst into flames with both girls trapped inside. The homecoming queen the night b4 was trapped and burned to death in her own car, she never seen it coming. her passenger lived but was messed up real bad and will never be the same with burns over 60% of her body. the driver of the mustang was charged with involuntary manslughter and still going to court. both lives are over now, he has to live with his actions and she is gone from this world and her family. These are just a few of the incidents that i care to speak about, but let this be an example for those who read this. we all think we can drive good and nothing will happen, but what are you gona do when that car pulls out and you kill someones wife, mother, family member. no one wants that burden on them for the rest of there life............so be safe

[drunkenmagnum]

^ that is on TV right now!!!

the trial is going on right now. they are trying to decide who should be charged. that crash looked horrible.

[drunkenmagnum]

update: both men were charged for her death it seems.

that one girl has terrible scares. the shots of the sceen are grusome and you could see the car ingulfed in flames
sucks for everyone involved

My closest cousin and good freind, died on Feburary 3, 2008 at around 11:30p.m. We were at a pool hall, me, him and two other freinds. I left for the rest room and one of the freinds and my cousin said they were going outside for a momment and will be right back to my second freind. Really, they took my 2006 Rsx-s for a joy ride. My cousin had a few drinks in his system, so did the first freind. He was driving reckless and hit a car at over 100mph. Only he passed away, everyone else was just injured and are doing fine now. I found out everything when I called the police to report my car missing once I found it gone from the parking lot. He will be missed dearly.

[miztickid]

i was passing too many cars in my civic which was super hooked up except for the suspension. i realized i wasn't going to make it and went to drop back in but the driver in front of me, trying to get out of my way, ended up blocking every move i made. without the suspension to handle the speed, i lost it and ended up looping out, hitting an embankment and going end over end. i crawled out of the car before it caught on fire, but i suffered a broken back and lots o bill, including the helicopter. just goes to show, even good drivers make mistakes. i was one of the lucky ones.

[Telesong]

Well the first of three deaths in the past year was a good friend of mine who was still in highschool, she was leaving school with her friend and her sister. They were trying to make a red light at an intersection. Initially, she made the turn but then ran in to the grass and overcorrected, flipping her jeep. She went through the windshield and died on impact. She wasn't wearing her seatbelt. Her sister and her friend both walked away with just scratches because they were wearing their seatbelts. This all happened the day before her 18th birthday. RIP Candice.

The other two arent really traffic related, but this past year a friend of mine passed away from complications involving her epilepsy. It was Christmas morning. She has turned 20 the week before. RIP Lucinda :-\

The last one happened just recently. A guy I knew in Highschool shot himself in the head after breaking up with his girlfriend the night before. The guy was wierd as hell but he was cool as shit too. We would always invite him to parties and shit but he would never show up and we couldn't figure out why. RIP Josh

I have never been so confused about life as I am now. Shit just doesn't make sense to me. These were all good people yet they were all taken so young. 3 funerals in about 6 months will really make ya think. I guess only the good die young :(

Good drivers don't weave in and out of traffic in their "super hooked up" civics putting innocent lives in danger for some cheap thrills. You definatley were one of the lucky ones, you didnt kill yourself or anyone else. Stop driving like an idiot, use your common sense man...it's not a fucking game, when someone dies, they are gone forever, nothing is ever going to change that. I'm definatley glad you are ok and you recovered but do everyone a favor and don't be a ricer. If you HAVE to street race, do it on an empty road late at night...not in rush hour traffic.

fixed. you are not a good driver. its not your suspension to blame but your lack of common sense and judgement along with a lack of respect for your fellow drivers.

had a friend killed June 21st, a month ago. name was kevin frenock. he was speeding home from playing hockey do over 80 in a 45. he was in an ls integra. lost control and hit into a barrier, we think he panicked and cut the wheel hard and slammed his brakes, dug in drivers side front and flipped multiple times thru a small used car lot totalling most of the cars, and hit a telephone pole 15 foot off the ground and snapped it.

one of his friends was the firefighter who cut him out of the car, i was with another fireman who was not on duty and we drove past (we were the first 2 who found out and people were blowin our fones up) the car was mangled... News Article from that day (http://kdka.com/local/Elizabeth.Borough.accident.2.753852.html)
There is a pic of the car, I hope this will help some1 make the right decision to not speed

he flatlined at the scene, and they brought him back, but he didnt make it to the hospital. he was 18, with his 19th birthday the next week.

I miss him very much... but, he gambled and lost it all, there is no going back. this just goes to show, not worth being stupid, its way too easy to die in a car

2nd story:

in the spring a very young girl was killed in a horrible accident in my community. she was 12 i think. this asshole senior was driving drunk and high on coke in his suv from a party and slammed into the girls fathers truck head on at 80. He walked away with only scratches. His passenger who was 15 i think, broke her back and may be paralized from the waist down. the father suffered a broken back and was in critical for a while. the other little girl in the truck was fine, but saw her friend killed. the girl who was killed died instanlty. the truck was hit so hard it pushed the engine into the cab and it landed on her crushing her. http://kdka.com/local/Jefferson.Hills.crash.2.703116.html its hard to believe anyone lived from the pics of the truck.... a miracle

the BS part is the kid was about to turn 18, was DUI, has priors for narcotics possesion and was a known dealer, and they won't try him as an adult... his life is still over....

Feb 20 2008
A good friend from high shool died in a car accident on the way to school. In san diego it doesnt rain much but this was the first real rain of the year, so the roads were very oily. He took a sharp turn to fast and hit a tree. He was on the way to school, where he was going to turn in a paper..carpe diem was his topic on the paper..he wrote about how you should never take your life for granted and how life is to short. "sieze the day"
RIP Cody Atencio

[datazncarl]

my friend from school was with his parents driving on the 60 eastbound. the dad lost control of the civic and spun out. this 60 year old man was speeding in a cadilac and hit them. The father, mother, and son died becomes of their injuries. It sucks because that was the day of his senior prom and he was about to graduate that same week. The only ones left now are their older half brother and half sister. The brother and sister took it hard because their real mom and their step mom passed away. The next few days, everyone at school was crying because alot of us were really close to him.

Also about a month before that, my other friend from school had an 18 year old sister that was driving and got in an accident. Don't know the exact details but she was in a coma for 2 days. The next day she just past away. I didn't know her at all but it was still very sad for her to just pass away out of nowhere.
