Dumbasses. A little roll on an empty interstate or dig from a stoplight onto a highway is one thing. Running red lights and blowing through intersections at 75+ mph is something else altogether.
I'm ashamed to own the same kind of car as this guy.

Agreed. The person may be innocent for not having raced, but they are guilty for not paying attention and being a ****ty driver. Personal responsibility is what it's called.
Kinda makes you wonder if they guy in the Camaro pulled out just to make them slow down, sort of a "if I get in your way you have to slow down" sorta thing, or if he was just dumb and not paying attention.
I feel bad for his family, but IMO he deserved it. I know for a fact that I would be able to see 2 cars coming up on me at 75 mph if I was trying to turn, and I'd be like "f that, I don't want to die ...yet".
Most interesting to me is that they think the two drivers were illegal aliens, hopefully if they are they disappear.

I think the most important thing to take away from this is that the G8 won.

How the hell did an illegal alien buy a new car?

It was a V6 (it is in the second video on the scene with the reporter talking about the accident)
And in no way did he the guy killed deserve it.. Sometimes I think Polarbear hugger just likes to start ****.
he isn't alive to tell us what he saw, or what was going on.
And when someone is coming that fast you can easily misjudge headlights.
If posted speed limit is 35 to 45 (which I know that it is, Because I use to live real close to that intersection. And a set of headlights is quite a bit away, you can easily make the turn, UNLESS those headlights are moving @ 75 mph+. Hard to judge that if you just take a quick glance.
Could he hae been MORE careful, sure--- but don't for one second try to blame an innocent victim. Classless, pure lack of class.

This post has to be the single most idiotic thing ive read in a very long time. The driver could very well have misjudged how fast they were going esp since im willing to bet at least 20+ over the speed limit. That is a lot of time esp since it was dark and its a lot harder to judge how fast oncoming traffic is in the dark compared to durning the day time.

point is you don't race on city streets ever period.
thing is though it wasn't the fact they were racing that killed the guy it was the fact they blew a red light. not excusing anything, but someone could have easily blown a red light who wasn't racing. I know I've been hit by someone who just blew through one.

You sir are an absolute IDIOT! Quit Monday Morning Quarterbacking the situation!!! You, I, and everyone here don't know what happened, and you've got the nerve to say the innocent person who died deserved it! That's like saying the person who rapes your sister in her bed room after coming through an unlocked door deserved it cause she did not lock the door. What the hell ever. Rant over, and I truly feel sorry for the family who lost someone in this tradegy.

Why race on public streets? if anything do it on a private street with no traffic. Morons like that should stick to public transportation.

And of course it was a couple of more than likely illegal f**kin mexicans yet again killing someone driving on US highways with no insurance or even a license for that matter!!
Had this been my significant other I would be takin a trip south of the border to wrap a few things up as equal justice since American justice damn sure wont do it!! Couple of thousand pesos and that problem would be more than taken care of!! Im just saying!! And yes, it may sound racists, but I would be looking for equal justice whether it was some punk ass kid or business suite wearing moron doing the same thing!! American justice is just too pussified to get anything done now-a-days and I just dont know if I could live on without my future because some POS decided they wanted to take a joy ride through busy city streets.
As for the comment made that this driver deserved what happened, I wont even dignify that with a response!!
This s**t INFURIATES ME as I have seen the consequences first hand of dumbasses like this and dealt with the reprocussions of seeing a family mourn the loss right there on scene!! Try that on for size!!

And Florida delivers yet again.
He wasn't paying enough attention?

Cause they are living the AMERICAN dream that neither their sorry asses, nor ancestors spilt blood for!! As for public transportation, why? They can pick up a car and drive freely with no insurance or license, hell, these MF's havent even paid a dime of taxes to maintain the roads they are killing US citizens on!!!
I may be taking my expression of feelings to far, if so, delete my post and warn/ban me. I love my country and im not a racists towards ANYONE that works hard in our Great Country or State of Texas, pays their taxes, raises a family etc.... This just so happens to be the ongoing trend today, illegal mexicans killing US citizens on the same damned roads their sorry asses have not paid a damn dime of tax to maintain. Not that paying taxes makes it right to do this either, it just adds fuel to the fire for me!! My mouth filter seems to not work when it comes to topics like this.

Theres no proof of racing is there? The police think it might have been racing. Could just have been an accident. Sucks someone had to die.

They both admitted to running through the intersection on a red light. It's racing.

OK, give up the keys you obviously have no business with a G8, even a V6 model.
