A young Norwegian racing driver (20 years old), died together with his girlfriend (18) and her sister(16) in Olso last night.

The Audi TT is completely smashed, after hitting a tree:

THey must have been flying. What caused the accident?

I bet alcohol was involved or speeding

Automobiles of today can pretty much handle the high speeds. Unfortunate 9 out of 10 drivers can not handle the car. I suspect alcohol and a bit of showing off for the girlfriend did not work out as planned. It is a shame really. I feel for the parents.

I saw that in the paper some days ago and found it more-than-average bad, too. Looking at how little is left of the metal car, I can't imagine the state of the drivers.

It was speeding, dont know about alcohol. Vitnesses said the car was going VERY fast.

I feel sorry for the girls parents in particular. They have lost two daughters at the same time.

The Family of the driver would also be feeling the loss as well.

Always the same

. Sorry, but I don't have any sympathy for the driver. As a racedriver he must have known of the risks and the energy a person is exposed to during a crash. The worst is that those guys usually do not only kill themselves but take other people with them.

Same here, I have no sympathy for the driver at all,
too bad his stupidity costs 2 other lives as well.

and indeed as a Racing driver he should know better to keep his Racing on the Track and not on normal roads.

Of course I feel sympathy for the driver, as he was only 20 and had a whole life ahead of him - and especially given that we know nothing about why they crashed. For all we know they could've been speeding to get one of them to the hospital.

Lets hope that thise accident will be a lesson to at least some "speedlovers". Driving signatures (sorry for that English) are not made for fun, unlike many teenagers may think

. So grow up and take some responsebility, if not for ourself thaen at least for the pasangers. Thise is my personal opinion about thise matter.

P.C do you know that Israel have hight car crash statistic, insane for such a small country

Whichever way you look at it this is a tragic loss of three lives.

That there was more than likely an element of contributable negligence cannot be denied.

But iregardless of whichever theory you subscribe to......this is still a tragic loss of life.

Sometimes I see people street racing in my area. I wish they showed some consideration for other motorists.

I am sorry for the people involved in this incident, but it looks like it could have been prevented if the driver had been a little more responsible.
