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.

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.
