27yr old in a c63 amg. member here?

http://www.calgaryherald.com/touch/news/story.html?id=7078889&rel=841484


Alcohol and speed are suspected factors in a head-on crash that killed a 38-year-old woman in the city’s southwest early Sunday.

Calgary police say a 2001 Ford F150 pickup truck was heading north on Sarcee Trail S.W. approaching Bow Trail S.W. in the left-hand lane.

A 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63AMG sedan was heading west on Bow Trail S.W. heading toward Sarcee Trail S.W. in the middle lane when it T-boned the Ford on the passenger side in the intersection at around 3:15 a.m.

The pickup truck spun toward the northwest and struck a large power pole about 60 metres from the crash. Both occupants were ejected.

The 38-year-old female passenger of the pickup was killed instantly.

The 50-year-old male driver of the pickup was taken to Foothills Hospital in serious but non-life threatening condition.

The Mercedes spun toward the northwest and ended up on a grass boulevard about 70 metres from the crash site.

The 27-year-old male driver of the Mercedes sustained minor injuries. He appeared to be intoxicated and was arrested at the scene, said police.

Speed is also considered a factor, said police.

Ramandeep Singh Jaswal, 27, of Calgary has been charged with impaired driving causing death, impaired driving causing bodily harm and refusing to provide a breath sample.

He will make his first court appearance on Tuesday.

EMS spokesman Adam Loria said a person who witnessed the crash “and was a little shaken up” was also taken to hospital for precautionary reasons.

The intersection and several nearby roads were closed until Sunday afternoon.

No names have been released.

Ramandeep S Jaswal was behind the wheel of the C63. He deserves jail and should be punished to the maximum the law allows. He refused breathalyzer which now is a pretty bad offense IIRC.

Then he won't be allowed to drive ever again, but he still will and have no consequences.

He is a brown dude, none of the young ones work for anything they own in Calgary. His parents bought him that car for sure.

What an idiot though. Needs to be locked up for 10-15 but that will never happen.

Refusing to provide is the same as blowing over as far a penalties are concerned. The operation causing death is way more serious.

Can't compare one brown person to all of the same race, who knows maybe he landed a good position in his early 20's and made some extra $ for toys but who knows.

Anyways whatever has been done is bad and shouldn't happen again. Punishment is a must.

That seems pretty accurate. To be honest all people convicted of drunk driving should have there licences revoked for 5 years on the first offence. You kill some one while impared its gone for good + 10 years to the day no chance of early parole as a min.

Hmm, I'm brown, so are alot of my buddies, not a single one of us has our cars paid for by our parents. It's called getting an education and working. But thanks for coming out hero.

Exactly.

This is the problem I have with the new rules. It doesn't change anything with repeat offenders or people that kill someone. Cracking down on .05 clearly didn't make a difference for him - the only thing that will fix this is to make sure he NEVER drives again.

loss of life over something so stupid.

As far as i am concerned, you get caught 1 time dui, car gets crushed/lose license forever/almost every free minute of your time goes to community service for quite a while. Injure/kill someone and your wages are garnished and proceeds go to the victims family.

More then likely they will drive with no license after but currently there is nothing that can be done about it as the fines/penalties for driving with no license are not very serious.

the only time that the penalties are even somewhat steep is when someone innocent has to die, the punishments have to be dramatically altered so people do not even think about doing it, our current system is to easy on the criminals.

I'm sorry, but wait a second, BOTH OCCUPANTS OF THE TRUCK WERE EJECTED?! Sure the crash should never have happened, but who the fuck doesn't wear their seatbelts? Not to bash the dead and injured here but their death was not solely a result of the decisions made by the driver of the mercedes.

Yes the guy that hit them is a piece of shit and should be sent to jail for life or executed, I couldn't agree more, no I don't know him and no I am not taking his side in any way whatsoever. That said, the lives of the people in the truck would probably have been saved if they had been wearing their seat belts. The truck covered quite a bit of ground before hitting the pole, perhaps if the driver was belted in he might have kept better control of the truck and not hit the pole, plus even hitting the pole they should have both survived. It is an 80km/hr zone, even if they were going 100km/hr it should never have been a fatal collision.

08-12-2012, 10:55 PM
I'm sorry. I don't see where in the article they mentioned the speed of the Merc and said it was going 100kph when it hit. Or where it says the occupants of the truck were not belted in. Please point that out to me.

As for the rest, the driver had ZERO time to react probably. He was T-boned so the truck was either spinning or going sideways, how, after just being hit at 100kph+, do you propose he act in a collected enough state to regain control in the span of 4-5 seconds?

As for the passenger, I'd say she was dead as soon as the MB hit. Those speeds right into the door, a seat belt doesnt make a difference.

I have two buddies that were both ejected from a pickup truck in an accident. Neither was seriously injured but theri seatbelts were still fastened after the accident happened. It does happen that people get ejected with seatbelts on.

Sad, sad, sad, I can only imagine the pain the survivor must be going through.

The driver instantly killed one of the occupants, but was still self-centered enough to refuse a breathalyzer? You would have thought the guilt and shame would be enough for him to comply fully.

A shit ton of people do not wear seatbelts and are ejected in the event of a collision.

I saw the F150 and the C63 on separate wreckers on Edmonton Trail followed by a handful of cop cars yesterday morning. F150 looked incredibly awful.

Not wearing seatbelts is stupid but I'm not sure it would have helped the passenger much in this situation. There wasn't really enough of the B-pillar left on the passenger side for a seatbelt to have worked.

I never said the merc was going 100, I said the truck was going 80, but then continued my thoughts to say that even if he was going 100...

Both occupants were ejected, that pretty much never happens if you are wearing your seatbelt properly. Lots of people get ejected when they don't wear seatbelts or wear them improperly however.

As for instant death in the crash bit, a F150 is a lot higher up than a c63, until I see decent side pics I'm going to maintain the passenger had a good fighting chance in the initial collision.

Could be true... but I don't think so. The person I knew refused to give a sample in BC... where those .05 laws were already in place. They lost their car for a month or so and paid the impound fee (which was pocket change to them) and they were on their way... no big deal.

Wiki:

The Greater Middle East is a political geographic term used since at least 1980 [1] to refer to the traditional Middle East with the addition of several nearby countries, specifically Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan.[2] Various North African and Central Asian countries are sometimes also included.

...

Some speakers may use the term to denote areas with significant Muslim majorities, but this usage is not universal.

Based on what you can find online - Ram is from privilege. Went to Rundle College Private school, then U of C, worked as a bank teller and sales rep for some bank and now "runs" a family property development company called J Squared developments. Was bragging on Facebook July 17th about "the new shoes", his sparkling new C63 AMG. No idea where the money came from, family or otherwise, but doesn't change that he got drunk (allegedly) and wrote the car off less than a month after getting it.

Zipoda was probably just using the term within a generally speaking context, not as an exact pinpoint term.

If he knew exactly the country he would have used specifics, but he used a general term that includes many different countries, it's not that serious that it's 100% accurate.

'Middle East' is a term sometimes used by white people to describe a place where brown people live without trying to sound racist. :D:rofl:

Reports on tonights Global said they were both thrown almost 200 feet. He managed to drag himself across the pavement with a broken back and two broken legs and held his dead/dying wife in his arms...

Seems like he has closed down his FB account. I imagine he must have gotten a ton of hate mail.

As far as I am concerned, this has nothing to do with the race/gender/ethnicity of the person, as these kind of things seem to be common amongst a lot of wealthy families which seem to have money than sense.

Either way, he is a fool but I also blame mommy and daddy for buying their immature son such a powerful car. It's only obvious what the consequences are going to be when you put that kind of power in the hands of an inexperienced driver. Good luck living with somebody else's blood on your hands for the rest of your life.

You guys whining about how he got his car, where he got his money, that he shouldn't have that fast of a car, etc. are a bunch of fucking retards.

It doesn't matter or have any relevance. A god damn corrola or rusted out 1985 chev pickup can still go 150, a person can still get drunk and choose to drive and someone can still die if they hit them. That person can be rich or poor, it has no real bearing on anything.

If the guy was street racing like a maniac with a car he couldn't handle then you might have an argument about the power of the vehicle but right now how about stick to the facts which seem to be that a guy got drunk, drove and killed someone. His car, money and how they were obtained have no relevance to the situation.

His car, money and how they were obtained have no relevance to the situation.

The cab looks intact and should be survivable.

Did they even say how fast the Mercedes was going? For all we know, he could've been doing 150. Remember the force of the impact spun the truck 60 metres from the crash site AND it struck a pole, probably still hurtling at 50-80km/h. Who knows. All I know is, that's a LOT of trauma for any human body, no matter what the cab looks like.

Smashing into the side of a car, typically it's weakest point, at 150, is likely unsurvivable in any kind of car, even with airbags.

Yes you can refuse.

It does have relevance. Rich people think that they can do anything they want and rules do not apply to them.

Are rich people more unethical? (http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/27/health/rich-more-unethical/index.html)


Drivers with shinier, newer, and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other motorists at a busy four-way stop and less likely to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk. Roughly 45% of people driving cars the researchers deemed "high status" ignored a pedestrian, compared to just 30% of those in more modest vehicles.

I love how everyone is commenting about how this inexperienced, young, driver should not be driving such a powerful car. I'm curious, at what age should you be allowed to drive a 400+ hp car???

I'm glad someone pointed out, that this accident could have been any car, and its the neglectful fact that alcohol had a lot to do with this, not how much money was in his parents bank account.

:werd: Not too long ago, a woman driving a Yaris crashed into a Mercedes on Country Hills Blvd, killing the 20 year old driver of the Mercedes and the 20 year old passenger of the Yaris.


Amie Nottebrock, 25, received minor injuries. She was arrested on Tuesday and charged with two counts of impaired driving causing death and two counts of dangerous driving causing death.

Bet he wasnt 0.05 over, seems like the laws dont work, better make new ones that grab headlines...
Ban these people from driving forever, not sure why we as a society put up with this sort of shit. If people that feel they can do this sort of thing knew they would lose their ability to drive, maybe that would be enough of a deterrent. If not perhaps a mob stoning.

I actually drove by you today on 17th when you were turning off it around 11:30-12:00. Nice ride by the way, sexy...

(In the 200,000km I've done in the last 4 years, I'm surprised I haven't spotted your ride/plate until now)... hahaha

Grew up in Pump Hill, my neighbour got a viper for his 18th b-day and totalled it a week later - so his parents got him a TT Stealth instead. It's true you feel totally invincible when mommy and daddy throw $$$ at your problems.

That being said people do stupid shit with/without money.

The interesting thing will be to see how much that $$$$ will help when he gets balfour der and this thing goes to court. That will be the true measure of $$$ vs. broke.

I don't know. There is probably a lot of force. I'm not questioning the cause. I'm questioning the effect.

Cab is intact. From the all photos or video, contact seems to be made at the front quarter instead of passenger door. This really make ejecting with seat belts on questionable.

Of course dying not wearing seatbelt is less of a story than killing by a 27 yr old drunk driver with a $50K performance car who is brown.

Just saying.
