Illegal Street Racing Takes the Lives of Three


Zach Behrens over at Laist ran a disturbing story this morning regarding an illegal street race in Eagle Rock last night, which resulted in the death of three young people, and two in grave condition. The pregnant woman driver was estimated to be driving at seventy miles per hour, but after viewing the remains of her car, it appears she was driving at a much faster rate, as her car rammed a tree.

I’m not sure what the answer could be to stop illegal street racing, so I attempt to show the results of races that go wrong, hoping this message reaches a young person.

Full story and video at CBS.

Just visited the CBS site and the police now report this accident was a result of road rage, not illegal street racing.
