Default the true story :Tragic C6 Accident on Long Island

I wanted to make a new tread so every body would see this post

John Miller or John John as his friends called him was having his daughters engagement. party at about 1am they ran out of wine or some other alcoholic beverage so his son volunteers to get some wine from his house john knew is son was to drunk to drive so he took the key's to his son's vette and went him self. at some point he he dropped something in the car one witness said it looked like the cars cigarette litter or a cell phone when he looked down to get it he lost control and you know what happened. i don't know if he drank that night or not so i am not going to speculate. John John was a good man and loved his family he always help other people when he could. john was not a bozo and anyone who would say that much less post it on a open forum were his family could see it has no class and is a complete loser and a low life if you feel he was a stupid bozo drive down to new york tomorrow to the funeral and tell his wife and kids and 200 + family and friend that are attending that he was a bozo that will make you feel like a real man not that you could ever be one. John John is my second family member to die this year in a sports car accident. a lot of my cousins are buying sports car's and have no idear what there capable of. i really think when you buy 400+hp car there should be some sort of training course that you have to take. R.I.P. cuzz.

Excellent post and sorry to hear..........



But another lesson of keeping focused on road ahead. I have heard hundreds plus stories of being distracted and looking down for a cigarette dropped, phone, cd, ipod, etc... It only takes a few seconds and late at night you might have a beer in you or tired from being up since 6am and working all day to throw off ya perception......

Im sorry as well for your loss but it sounds as if some of your family needs driving instructions through your own admission. It doesnt take much to lose control, especially if one is smoking or drinking.

I'm not being disrespectful, but from the above, are you, in fact, the "cuzz"? I can't tell.

It's a true loss, and I do agree with greenie above, as well.

Lost control looking for a lighter going 100mph it looks like to me. The family is VERY lucky he didn't take out a bunch of innocent people along the way.

It's very tragic and by the looks of things, he must of been going excessively fast. His family should be thankful that he didn't kill any innocent people, as they would be the ones getting sued. What a shame he had to be lost in that manner. We all have probably driven a little too fast at some point. His son must feel terrible.

No disrepect to you or the deceased, may he rest in peace but this says it all:

Sometimes good people make bad decisions, I'll say a prayer for the deceased and his family, sad.
