Not condoning the street racing but by the looks of the video the lady who was injured was 100% at fault. If he would have stayed and both the camaro and mustang drives kept their mouths shut she would be the one paying... That video isn't enough evidence to prove street racing was happening either (though it probably was because why else would he have ran).
Either way a bunch of poor decisions happened, (most likely) street racing, turning in front of someone, running,...etc. but at the end of the day it is very sad to hear about the girls injuries.

Idiots for street racing. Theres no rhyme or reason to it. Do a pull on the highway to get it out of your system but take it to the track.
Now for the driver. Shes clearly trying to beat traffic. You see her not even come to a full stop to make the left. I'm not saying you have to but if you have 2 children in the car and one of them is not yours. I'd be driving as if every cop was behind me; watching me. She had to seen those cars were coming. She tries to beat them to it. At least in my eyes.

Is this more Fake news? I see no street race. I see a woman who turned right in front of someone who had the right of way. Needless to say the driver should have stopped. Chances are the driver is also hurt. The woman didn't even attempt to stop before making her turn.

Please stop trying to downplay this accident because it is a Camaro that is involved. This moron in the Camaro (and Mustang) almost killed two little girls, how would you feel if it were your children involved.
If you want to street race do it in a place where you can only kill yourself or the other person you are racing. Last fall my Family and I were on vacation in the Mountains of Virginia, we approach a blind curve and here comes one of these Lexus type vehicles hitting the corner in the opposite direction at probably triple the posted speed limit and 1/2 way into my lane, almost got us as we had to drive into the grass beside the road to avoid. There were 5 of us in the van 3-children.

Based on other cars crossing the intersection, those cars were going faster than the average traffic. Again I don't think that I would have made that choice to turn in front of them but sometimes it's hard to judge speed at night. I'd done a u-turn in front of a bike before that was quite a bit down the road.. he flew past me on the brakes and started bitching. He refused to give me his speed, but just due to distance covered in a matter of 2-3 seconds, he had to have been going over 100MPH in a 45MPH zone. I wasn't expecting him to be going that fast so I certainly never expected to be that close to having a collision. The distances in my situation were VASTLY different than this video though.

Honestly I agree, it really doesn't look like racing is involved. Speeding, yea... but not by some crazy amount.

Somehow I miss-read everything... I thought it was the mustang driver that hit the other car and ran (video isn't all that clear) and the camaro driver had just gotten side swiped or something and stopped. In the video the mustang doesn't look like it hit anyone...
So basically they are putting a huge reward on this person's head because of assumed (without good evidence) street racing?

yeah seems like a bad place to race, but clearly she should never have turned into them...
looks like speeding or not she would have at least cut them off real bad... just sad that people got hurt... |
