How can someone so completely misunderstand what I just said?

I don't see how anyone reading your post could have possibly missed that.

This guy was hurtling into a 25 mph neighborhood at what had to have been triple digit speeds. So, no, no sympathy for anyone so callous and uncaring, with such disregard for others. I do feel for his family, though. I also know there is little chance of any of them finding our comments on this forum, so maybe we can speak a bit more openly regarding our thoughts on this sort of behavior.

I thought the same thing but couldn't clearly make out what it says.

I think Kia is as close as you're gonna get. I saw that grille shape on a 2018 but what I think are little white dashes on the side of the grille baffle me. The grille on the Kia doesn't touch the headlight, so that part seems to be a match.

BMW is not out of the hunt, though. The upwards and outwards body line to the side of the grille is consistent with some bimmers. No dashes.

Kia does have a blue like that as well. Did someone win here?

The reason why people can be so flippant is that the perp could've killed someone else and no one actually knows the guy-therefore it's not personal.

As for the pantywaist scolding everyone on the net for saying mean things: That'll teach you to go ripping thru town at 100+MPH. Deal with it. Obviously this is someone who is trained to feel sorry for the perp, not the victim.

That car is 100% a late 2000s Civic Si like the one another poster included a photo of.

This is a tragedy for the family of the boy who was killed, but mostly I’m glad he didn’t kill anyone else. The uncle quoted earlier said something like “you don’t know the whole story”, but I…struggle to think of what we could learn, after knowing that the driver fled a police stop and drove 100 in a 25, that would somehow make what he did OK.

As an aside will a civic even do triple digits. I mean I know the civette will, but that’s a hybrid…

Easily....I have an SI and getting to 100 feels like driving to 70
The top speed is listed at 130 mph

I'll take Fleeing from Police for 1000 Alex.



SNOHOMISH — A driver who crashed into a traffic pole and died Sunday had reportedly fled from state troopers moments earlier.

Around 12: 45 a. m., a 31-year-old man was driving west “at a high rate of speed” on Second Street, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

As the driver approached an intersection, a pickup driver was turning left to go south on Maple Avenue, police said. The man tried to pass the white pickup asit turned. The man collided with the front bumper of the truck, causing him to crash into the traffic light pole, according to the sheriff’s office.


Crash scene photos showed the car was obliterated.

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, near Triangle Bait & Tackle. No other passengers were in his car. The 63-yearold driver of the pickup was not injured.

Just before the crash, Washington State Patrol troopers had tried to stop the driver on U.S. 2. The car fled from troopers near 88th Street SE. Troopers didn’t pursue him, according to the sheriff’s office.

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office will identify the deceased.

Well, with that piece of info, any sympathy I might have felt for the driver, fully disappeared.

That is a typical modern day cop-out boilerplate response/excuse/retort when someone criticizes another over what is obviously bad behavior-and the (relative of the) perp knows it.

Meaningless.
