Angry Four lives snuffed by stupidity.

I just got back from a fire call. (I'm a firefighter.) A two car accident involving a Caddilac GTS and a Dodge Minivan. Occupants of the caddy were three boys, two 17yo and a 16 yo.
The minivan was driven by a older woman. Apparently the Caddy crossed over to the oncoming lane after losing control. and slammed into the van.
It's said that the car was traveling at a extremely high rate of speed . Witnesses say the car was possibly racing another car. Anyway, upon impact it burst into flames killing all 3 kids, and the female driver of the van. The woman was cut in half below the waist. A passenger in the back seat of the van was taken to the local trauma center.
In 16 yrs of firefighting , this was the worst scene I've been at.
Even worse, a few of our younger firefighters were good friends with these kids. Besides the fact that the accident occured within a 1/4 mile of the drivers home, and the parents had to be restrained to keep them away from the scene.
It angers me at the stupidity that caused these deaths.
