Nasty hi speed accident

Really makes me wonder what the whole story is. Busted up Vette, 4 dead bodies. That curve should have been nothing for a Vette to handle.

I believe couple of the bodies were pedestrians.

Only one was in the car when they got there, and they couldn't tell what sex it was......

Body parts spread over 1/2 mile....

True. But could the driver handle it? Just because anyone can own a high performance car, doesn't mean they know how to drive it. And who knows how good the tires were, and if they were under-inflated. It doesn't take much to lose control of a car at high speeds if one is not prepared to deal with it.

You can see the tires in the pic, they seem to have tread. I'm more curious if another vehicle was involved in some way. It looks like it was running well into triple digits with that type of carnage..

my guess was the driver was just plain and simply just being dumb, was deafently going over a hundred mph do to the fact they said he/she slid for hundreds of feet on there top would say the other 3 were probley innecent by standards. but either way its a sad deal. my prayers go out to all 4 of them and there families (if any).

Ended up being all four were from the car - no peds involved. It was a young college girl that was driving. They have not yet released the cause - whether it was just speed, or if there was alcohol involved.

Four in a two seater, doing over a 100 mph . Sad and stupid.
