Toyota Camry splits in half after hitting a tree

[davinp]

A teenager is dead and another in stable condition after the car they were traveling in veered off the road, hit a tree and split in two. It is believe the 17 year old was racing. It is a Toyota Camry SE Phantom Grey, looking like a 2002-2004 model. Sorry, their are no pictures available yet. When I find any I'll post a link. In the meantime, here is a link to the story.

Some people have to learn the hard way. He'll be paying the price for that accident for the rest of his life. Financially as well as emotionally.

I think they should remove seatbelts from the driver's side of cars.
it's ridiculous there's more safety features for the passenger than the idiotic teenage driver.

perhaps it'd scare some sense into these morons.

Reminds me of a presentation I give when I teach Driver's safety for licensing of new military drivers. This Audi literally wrapped around a tree.

[Nick :D]

Wow... how sad.
Its a shame that the driver lived. He is now going to have to live life knowing that he killed that guy.

I did have a problem with one of the reports though:

The car then split into two before hitting a tree.

Wouldnt you need to hit the tree first in order for it to split?

I was thinking the same thing. Veirs Mill Rd is not the type of road one should be driving at break neck speeds on (or honestly any road for that matter).

A truly unfortunate event for all those involved.

Wow how sad.

What make U think the tree won't come to U?

Once in the news, I think a log truck crossing on the bridge on top. Something happen and the log came off and fall down to a guy driving below. I think he was pronounce immediate death.
