Unhappy Another Tragedy, teens and a Muscle Car

3 young kids killed in a Dodge Challanger driven by a 16YO in my area last night.
Driver was speeding and his a tree.

I hope the lone survivor pulls through.

Three teens killed, one injured in crash near Wake Forest :: WRAL.com

Nothing much left of the car per the photo.

Seems like a rely of what happened 6 years ago, parent that owned the RX-8 let his son borrow the car.

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Investigators said excessive speed was a factor in a late-night accident that killed four Wakefield High School seniors Saturday.The accident happened just before 11 p.m. when, police said, the driver lost control of his 2004 Mazda RX8 on the Poole Road exit coming off of the new U.S. Highway 64 bypass.Investigators said the car in which the students were traveling struck a concrete rail and then flipped over the rail, dropping about 50 feet before bursting into flames.

Witnesses told police that the vehicle was traveling more than 100 mph when it passed other vehicles and then ran off the road. Investigators calculated the speed to be 105 mph to 115 mph before the crash.Although authorities have confirmed that the victims in the vehicle were four male seniors from Wakefield High School, their identities have not yet been released.Friends said the four students were on their way home after watching the Wakefield boys' basketball team compete in a playoff game at East Carolina University.

Investigators say the car struck this concrete rail, flipped and dropped about 50 feet.
