Obviously the loss of life and the injuries are quite sad.

However, on a more impersonal note, was anyone else surprised that in a head-on with a small sports car and a family sedan, it would be the sedan driver who doesn't survive? In the crash picture, the 'vette actually doesn't look that bad off.

I find it stupid that the paper would do that, especially since there was a death. You can bet some low-life is checking out the funeral schedule knowing the house will be empty for a few hours.

Hey,

I've never posted here before, but I've been reading for a long time. Building up my knowledge until it's actually economically feasible for me to buy a c4. Anyway, I just want to say that I was surprised to see this story. Surprised because I live less than 3 minutes from where this accident happened. Hadn't heard anything about it until now, but will definitely look into it.
