Heard the rescue trucks go by

[rmorse]

From the comment section, it doesn't sound like the white truck stuck around after the accident???

Didn't even slow down.

Danzig is quite the professional and would never allow any sort of photo to be posted that was in any way, shape, or form showing offensive material.

That being said, it was a picture of the car that impacted the pole and the wreckage to the car was quite extensive. I'm hoping the driver and any passengers survived.

No passengers. I thought that the driver died at the scene, but the comments on facebook make me question that. I left before the chopper left, and a lot of the emergency personnel were leaving. That's why I assumed the kid had died.

The article on TheBayNet says only one was in the vehicle and they were flown out from the scene to a trauma center:

And this in from Smnewsnet:

Suspected Drag Racing Leads to Serious Accident | Southern Maryland News Net

Witnesses at the scene said the Civic appeared to be racing a truck and tried to pass in the right turn lane, before losing control and crashing into the pole.

what a horrible looking mess. Thank God he didn't hit anyone else.

How very sad. And how very stupid.

I was expecting to hear that it was someone in his 20's and not a 45 year old "man." I can't believe he made it out alive

45? Really?? What a f'ing idiot. I was expecting some young punk as well.

Uhhh, what? Where did you hear this? I was there, and he looked damn good for being 45. I put him at late teens, early 20s. That being said, I also didn't want to get super close to it/him, because I didn't want to lose my lunch.

That was unexpected.... He looked mad young.

This.

Story now says that he's 35.

 

[SoMDGirl42]

CORRECTION: The driver was 35 not 45 as first reported.

 

[GWguy]

Still old enough to not be acting like a first year driver.

 

[rmorse]

Story now says that he's 35.

Still, I wouldn't have placed him at mid-30s. But I wasn't really trying to stare either.

 

[RoseRed]

Update with name.

UPDATE: Name Released in California Accident | Southern Maryland News Net

 

[GWguy]

I'm betting he has a little more respect for:

illegal passing on the right
racing in evening traffic
the effect of high speed on a freshly grated road being prepped for a new surface.

 

[garyt27]

Damn, he survived that. I might get a Honda.

 

[rmorse]

Damn, he survived that. I might get a Honda.

He shouldn't have. He lucked out. He only survived that because there wasn't a passenger, so the motor pushed him into the empty passenger seat. Think about that..... the motor was in the drivers seat. I don't think I want a Honda....

No kidding. I have zero sympathy for him, by the looks of the car I'm shocked he made it out alive. I'm beyond thankful that he didn't hit anyone else on the road. My son & I had just made it to the BJs parking lot when all hell broke loose. I'm thankful we didn't witness that or worse yet, get hit by this idiot!

Seriously! I figured it'd be some young punk driving. 35/45, whatever.......still WAY to old to act so childish.
