Driven that road many times. Such a shame. Distracted driving is something we don't think about often enough. Hopefully we can remember that getting that text done or whatever else is not worth the risk it puts on us while driving, myself included.

Drive safe folks.

RIP dude.

Seatbelts. :banghead:

[Modelexis]

no seatbelt = no life

He made his choice.

[SJW]

What a waste. RIP Very sad.

I do not understand why some people still chose not to wear a seatbelt... :banghead:

For some people its just a habbit,
but personally, i do up right as i get in... and make sure everyone has theirs done up, even when im driving with someone else, a couple of my buddies don't wear them, but when im with them, i make them do up.

Can't stand it.

Since I was about 7 I've always done my seatbelt up as soon as I get in the car. Even if I'm driving around the corner, it's just habit. Makes me very sad that some people still don't understand how important they are.

was it that stunt kid from cochrane?

[Alak]

No.


I got a couple vague details today:

The passenger that was ejected from the car said that he was searching for a song on his ipod. He was starting to coast a little off course and when someone shouted at him to drive straight again, I guess he spooked and he over compensated and thats when the accident occured. Basically swerved and rolled from what I gather.

did you just learn english?
is there a reason your name is 7-Eleven
HAHAHA jokes man, much love
but what a shame, poor guy

but your message is correct, its better when the driver, who ultimately is responsible for his or her actions is killed, rather than a passenger, but it still shouldnt have happened.

Wow that's horrible what a waste
