I have never seen a car ripped in half long ways

[Jack-bjjw]

You don’t saw a car in half by going the speed limit and paying attention that’s for sure

[Turbogto_guy]

Car ripped in half and the wipers are still working. Crazy.

Imagine being the one pulling that trailer and just seeing half a car fly by

When my son turned 16, he asked me to sign for him. I was going to do it, till he said the day before his test, “when I get my license, I’ll be racing on the highway with your sport car mom, I’ll take your keys without you knowing at night”. Guess what? I didn’t sign and told him, “when you are mature get the license yourself, at this moment is my responsibility that you wont hurt yourself or kill someone”.

My friend got an old van that could barely go over 60mph in high school. That seems like the smart way to go.

As a qualified crash investor, over 20 years experience, submitting coroner and prosecution files, I can confirm he was going fast.

Oh God give his family the strength to go on😢

Driving a car, having a drivers license, is a privilege. Wish more people would see it that way.

It doesn't take a genius to know that the impact speed had to be enormous.

[RobbaKeef]

Imagine how fast they were going for the car to shear in

Thank god it was a landscaping truck and not a car with a young family inside.

I worked a high school and often walked thru the parking lot and was amazed at the horse power the kids were sporting. Parents are the problem.

It’s funny how they say they can’t confirm drag racing, but clearly speed was an issue here. This is horrible. I’m so glad I got my license at 26 because it made me respect driving more and abided by the laws. I’m 36 now

This is sad. So sorry for the loss of this child. Praying for the family.

My school used to put the cars of students that crashed due to racing or drunk driving on the front lawn of the school. It made the consequences real for everyone. They dont do it anymore due to it being offensive. Smh

[joshperryppg]

Who manufactured that trailer? That thing is SOLID!

[VinnySpeeds]

So insulting to say we can't confirm. They were literally speeding to rip that car in half.

Condolences to the family of the young lady that was killed in this wreck. May they have peace. 🙏

Beth. Was in my senior high school typing class. She was an angel. Everybody liked her. The day she got her license she wrapped her car sideways around a telephone pole doing 80mph. She was licensed for about 4 hours.
