Dallas teen dies in crash

[kisame]

DALLAS - Dallas police said street racing was to blame for a deadly crash involving a 16-year-old Dallas teen Tuesday night.

Colin Taylor Stone was speeding well over 100 miles an hour when police said he lost control, crossed the median and slammed into four vehicles, according to police.

Police believe Stone may have been racing with another vehicle for more than a mile while driving westbound on Northwest Highway, starting at the intersection of Abrams Road. The crash occurred near the intersection of Northwest Highway and Shady Brook.

Stone's BMW burst into flames, killing the Highland Park teen instantly. He had attended school at Cistercian Prep in Irving.
The driver Stone was racing is also believed to be a teen in an older-model, dark BMW. Sources tell News 8 the drivers knew each other from competing as swimmers at the Knights of Columbus pool, also on Northwest Highway. The teens were apparently in a swimming club and took their competition on to the road.
The other racer is still at large. Street racing that causes a death is a second degree felony. Police are using stoplight footage to track down the other driver.
Two other people in the crash had to be rushed to the hospital. Both are expected to be okay.
"[Stone] brushed up against a pickup truck going the opposite direction, and then he spun off that vehicle and rotated into an early-model Volvo," said Sgt. Fred Katani of the Dallas police. "And when you look at the pictures of the vehicle, it's a miracle that no one was seriously injured in that Volvo."
That Volvo carried three passengers, but none were hospitalized.

Algae Vazquez, who has worked for the last six years at a restaurant along that stretch of Northwest Highway, said street racing is a problem in that area. She said, typically, it is on weekends, not weeknights.

She said she avoids Northwest Highway on weekends altogether because that is when cars and motorcycles street race and the drivers are usually younger ones.

Vazquez would like to see more policing in the area to make it safer. She's not alone.

Dallas police said they are still talking to witnesses and reviewing 911 tapes, hoping to learn more about what happened leading up to last night's crash.

Police said, even if street racing played a role, right now, they do not have a description of the other vehicle involved.

Is there meant to be a discussion made out of this? This is as useless as Eddy's topics.

God damn, he's 16 and owned a BMW? My first car was a 2000 Dodge Stratus, and I was 18.

He was one of those rich, preppy douchebags.

OP, where you familiar with the kid that died? Street racing accidents are not really surprising news. Safe to say there will be a big mess if I vehicle gets in a wreck doing 100+ mph.

Doesn't necessarily mean street racing is bad...

Happens all the time. A kid that went to my school got drunk and killed himself by driving right into a tree.

[Painbringer]

Sooo...

Did someone from NG die in the crash?

[BasedBubbus]

He deserved it...

[Yert]

a few weeks ago my world history teacher was telling us about two kids he used to teach that quit school and then like just two weeks later they were driving and went past the road median and hit an 18 wheeler almost head on that killed them both it was pretty cool story

Sorry for your loss.

But it's far better than the alternative of driving into another person, killing or paralyzing them, and living with the guilt.

Street racing is really fucking stupid, if he was doing so, it's a good thing he only took himself out. And not an innocent bystander.

BREAKING NEWS: Some dude got mugged in south Chicago only hours ago!

Lol it might be a benefit that there had been no bystanders injured but it's not a "good thing" he died. Sure street racing is stupid but everyone does stupid things sometimes and crashing at a high speed isn't the hardest thing to do.

Hey news media! Can we blame this death on the Fast and the Furious movies? Can we huh? No. We can't? Why? Oh wait it's just a movie, not impressionable at all.

Hey news media! Can we blame this death on a racing video game? Which one? Oh I don't give a fuck pick Mario Kart, we all know how dangerous that is! Oh it's on the Wii and so we can't do that. Hmm... say what is on that PS3? Isn't there some kind of Twisted Metal or Need for Speed we can blame this on as a simulation thing?

PERFECT! Wait? Blame the parents of the teenager? Why would we do that?

Racing cars in the street is fucking moronic. It was not an "accident"; he knew the massive risks involved and ignored them deliberately. If he'd been trying to drive safely, then it would have been an accident.

Please don't insult the victims of real accidents by suggesting this kid wasn't entirely at fault for offing himself.

I'm glad fuckheads like this are removing themselves from the gene pool.
