There are no words…

[Cobra Jet]

Man… I don’t know if anyone else has seen this recent news footage… but, there just aren’t any words to describe the footage.

Be aware, the Police body cam video may be disturbing for some to watch.

On Oct. 15th a kid in Stillwater Oklahoma driving a Mustang with his passenger reached speeds of 150mph going the wrong way and hit another vehicle head on…. The wreckage of the Mustang does appear to be an S550, but no year or other info is given.

The crash debris field is MASSIVE. The passenger in the Mustang died, the passenger of the other vehicle died, the driver of the other vehicle is in the hospital. The driver of the Mustang is now facing 2 counts of second degree murder.

The body cam footage is all over the internet in various stages - but like I said, there just isn’t words to describe what is seen.

Yeah I saw that earlier this morning but I didn’t post it because I’m just getting tired of seeing this crap. I’m getting tired of these “kids” not being treated as adults. We’ll see what happens here.

How the hell did the driver survive? Must have been drunk as shit. Tragic..

 

[MAGS1]

Yeah saw that too. Your title is appropriate. There are just no words. 18 years old, killed 2 people and has pretty much ruined his own life now.

 

[ORRadtech]

Indescribably sad and unnecessary.
Reminds me of that "close call" thread from a couple of days ago. I know the outcome was different but it was the same stupid shit.

When people on here brag about street racing, THIS is why I tell them they're fucking morons. THIS is why it's stupid.

 

[Cory S]

Sorry. Not 150mph. 150mph head on, and there would be vaporization of everything and ZERO survivors.

75mph both ways makes 150mph. people need to pay the eff attention. there's no excuse for this.

A young fellow in Florida who was gifted a mustang by his parents for a graduation present from high school was racing an Altima not so long ago. Hit a mother and her child in a stroller crossing in a cross walk and killed both of them. I do not remember his sentence, exactly, but he got many years in prison. In my opinion not enough. AND is just one of the reasons that idiots drag racing on public streets are absolute morons. If you do, which member of your family are you willing to have taken from you for eternity?

Not to nitpick saw nothing to write home about, lots of shrapnel but that was it. Nothing graphic..nothing that could be called out as "disturbing for some to watch. "

Not proud of it , but as a youngster I did some stupid stuff .Many have surely done the same. Most of us got lucky yet sit here and judge these youngsters that have destroyed their and others lives.
Parents and society are the ones really to blame. Were these kids ever really taught the right ways to behave ?
Speaking for myself ,even though my folks were good people, there was a lack in guidance which led me to be a naughty youngster.
I was lucky nothing ever happened that wasn’t fixable.
If we all taught our kids correctly, a lot less of these senseless deaths would be averted !
Just my 2c

The bolded part says it all. I'll never understand parents who give their kids sports cars at such a young age. My dad gave me a '70 Cutlass with a V8 when I was 17, and I routinely drove it like an immature, irresponsible moron with delusions of grandeur. I was extremely lucky. And that car had less power than today's Ecoboost Mustangs.

I don't blame the kid, who is, after all, a kid. I blame the parents.

Waaaay back when, 4 kids from our rival HS died in a Mustang crash. Someone took Daddy's car out for a joy-ride, and they all died on prom night.

Thankfully you can make more.

It wasn't so bad when I was in high school and there was such a thing as a 90hp Mustang.
I think the 4-banger Mustang LX was upgraded to 105hp my sophomore year. I knew a guy that had one and was like "This is fun. I don't know why people think they need the V8."
We agreed no one our age should have the V8.

One of my cousins had an LX 2.3 notchback, and kept it for many years until (late in her college career) she wrecked it by taking a curve too fast. It was even a familiar curve where she should have known how fast she could go, but was overconfident.

Since then, the Ecoboost has eclipsed the torque of the LX 5.0, and the lamest 1.5L econobox has enough power for a dumb driver to get in trouble.

It doesn't help that our licensing requirements are so minimal, and let most people brain-dump everything their driving instructor tried to teach them about speed limits and safe following distance.

More teenagers need to go to extra driving schools after they get their license.
My sister has already decided when her kids are old enough (6 years from now, for the older one) they're going to something like the "Street Survival" school.
