| I've made this topic to see how many other people have known others killed or injured in a serious car accident. Two of my good friends died friday night. The snow was pretty bad and they were speeding about 95-105 on the freeway and lost control, making them slide into opposing trafic. He slammed into a truck and died shortly after at the scene. Saturday, people were in and out of the houses of the two victims all day, and I went to pay some respects and see how the family is doing, along with the older brother who I know well. I also had to deal with the death of another two friends two years earlier in a similar accident dealing with rain. All four kids were on the tennis team along with me, so it hits pretty hard and is very sad. All were so young and not ready to die, so it's affecting me pretty badly. Anyone else have similar incidences? |

| I can't say I have so my empathy toward you may feel very weak, but I'm sorry.... but excuse me for asking, what happened to the car they slammed into? I'd think that person would be dead too unless it was a huge semi-truck. |

| Vi)Chris you might think I sound so harsh and cold but I think they deserved to die. Who the hell speeds 95-105 on the freeway while snowing? Not even while snowing its dangerous. Read MadduX's post and see how innocent people die people of reckless people like who drive highspeed during bad weather or driving while intoxication. Then again the girl was a stupid bitch for letting him drive her at that speed while he was drunk. |

rts, t-boned means 2 cars hit in shape of a T

The girl had no idea that some drunk dude would come flying down the street and run straight into her |

Did anyone else think cyrax the moment they read this topic name?
In all seriousness, I know a few people who have died (not first hand, but through others). Most of the cases were due to black ice (ice on the ground that is not visible without close inspection). One of them was to drunk driving. |

| Reading Maddux is good for laughing at an imbecile, not for advice on life. Yes it was the fault of them for speeding when the driving conditions were so shitty. It was easily preventable and really shouldn't have happened. The person in the other car was treated for minor injuries, and another car was somewhat in the accident, and again only minor injuries. The circumstances don't matter too greatly though, someone died. |

| Their were at least 4 that died in my graduating class from car accidents of around 250. I really think that we need to raise the driving age, as much as most kids would hate it, so that so many people will have a chance to live before they die. Then again, there are a ton of bad drivers out there and they aren't all teenagers. I think people just need to realize they need to be more serious about how they drive. |

wow deserve to die? your an idiot if your passing judgement on someones life because they were speeding, agreed it was a stupid thing to do, but i guess you think death is a fair punishment for that. |

| I think most people chronically speed, at least that I know. Mostly all people speed at least some of the time. I think if death was a fair punishment then alot of people would be dead. The only person I know who doesn't ever speed is my mom 8-/ |

i had a very bad car accident in june 2002 i was going around 120 km on a 50 km street; a lady from opposing side turned left and cut me, i braked hit her at around 80km jumped the sidewalk hit a post. LUCKILY, the post was new and not attached completely to the ground, it only fell down next to the car and reduced the impact, everybody was ok, which i thank the lord for. It is however a very big shock and got me to the conclusion that no matter how good of a driver you think you are, there are always improbable stuff that can happen, so speeding sux.
Here in montreal, the age for driving is 16, where you start with somebody that has 2 years of experience and you can get your real permit at 16 and 8 months. I think it is waaaaaay to early because at that age your reckless and somewhat immature. 18 would be a great age.
I feel very sorry for you friends, it is a horrible way to die, i hope for them they been good and heaven exists |

They probably didn't deserve to die, even though they were endangering the lives of many others on the roads with no excuse. Atleast they didn't kill anyone else. |

| i think what worse is when u r informed to be dead in a matter of weeks, just like one of my dad's best friends who has just been informed gpt cancer and wont live longer than a month. An car accident to finish your life would really be appearciated sometimes! |

| some dude here speeded with 100mps over a small road with houses on both sides in the middle of the night, he lost control and he hit one of the houses. He died and he killed a baby that was sleeping in his crib in the living room. I think some ppl should take more responsibility in trafic and think about the consequences they could have. |

Last march my cousin lost control of his car and hit a tree, he died almost immediately after the crash. He was infact speeding, but still, he was way too young to die (19).
From that moment I understood the difference between knowing someone could die and not having so much trouble with it (my grandfather a couple of years ago), and the unexpected death of someone who should've had their whole life in front of them. Believe me, you'll experience more intense emotions than than you ever thought possible.. |
