Another Skyline Death

[Anquetil]

Just spotted on the news, a white 33 with 3 spoke rims destroyed in Redcliffe.

24yo male driver dead, female passenger in critical condtion.

Police stated driver lost control.

Hope it was no one on here. Be careful out there people!

Looked bad hey. Looks like it must have been travelling at a rate of knots.

*edit - by the way the man that died was the passenger. The female driver is in serious condition.

any one have a link to the story??

this is why i have no sympathy for people who get booked for speeding and blame someone else

i do feel for the girl in this case, cause what she now has to deal with is a lot worse than a ticket and lost points

correct me if im wrong, but I dont see how the female is going to cop anything bad considering she was the passanger of the car.

The police may question her in regards to what the driver was doing at the time but i dont see how she would be coppin the fines/tickets as she wasn't behind the wheel.

but yeh, she will have a lot to now deal with, with the death of a friend or a family member from this accident.

"It's believed the car was speeding at 180 kph an hour in a 60 kph zone."

That quick vid says it all there.....

maybe we shouldnt jump to conclusions about how this guy crashed...although it probably was speed, there are a million other things that could have happend. Bottom line dont speed unless your willing to accept the consequences. There are millions of people that speed everyday way over the limit and never crash so there was a reason that he crashed and I doubt it was all speeding, probably more so a combination of things such as speed, roads, experience, stupidity or something else. Speed doesnt kill its the people that cant handle the speed.

Having said that RIP and condolences to anyone involved.

thursday night ftw huh

[IanB]

Why is everyone blaming the dude? Wasnt it the girl driving?

[Einstein]

because, ian, people instantly assume male driver and don't even read the rest of the thread

[madbung]

I blame the police!!

Obviously another victim of unjust persecution...the results of the MAN trying to keep a brother down...ect...ect

for the famlies involved..but what else would you expect to see as the result of 180kph in a 60kph zone, I'm just glad noone outside of the vehicle was harmed.

[IanB]

you blame the police for this?

Believe me im no fan of the boys in blue at the moment but I dont see how there to blame here....

if that story is accurate, which it appears to be, it answers alot of questions...drunk, not her car (probably not used to driving it), and speed....worst thing in this case would appear to have been the drinking, if she wasnt drinking she probably wouldn't have been doing 180kmph in a situation which she had no chance of controlling. Shes going to get smashed because of this too, because the police will use it as a PR opportunity and its going to get maximum press!

Did the first part of my post read as serious or sarcastic to you....maybe the wink at the end might be a hint.. I dunno

It was a sarcastic poke @ all the tools that blame the popo every time they get done for defects, speeding ect.
