Default Another fatal wreck to keep the heat on racing

I don't have a link to it yet, but there was a fatal accident invovling racing on US19 lastnight around 2 a.m. The driver of one of the cars was killed when he lost control at a high rate of speed and went into the Honda dealership and hit some cars I guess. This shit is just going to keep getting worse and worse.

Are you sure it was street racing? From the looks of things the car that "flipped end over end" (according to BN9) was a Lincoln LS. They didn't mention anything about street racing, just a fatal accident.

They, BN9, interviewed an officer this morning and he said two vehicles were involved and that "High Speeds" were to blame. She asked him if they were racing and he kinda smirked and said, "High Speeds were involved".

From BN9.com:

An accident that occurred around 2 a.m. this morning has left one person dead and another injured.

The deadly wreck happened in front of a car dealership off Roosevelt and U.S. 19 in Largo.

Driver Nathaniel Larry and friend Eric Lee were leaving the Coliseum nightclub. According to witnesses, Larry lost control of the car and it flipped several times, splitting a light pole in half.

Larry died at Morton Plant Hospital and Lee was taken to Bayfront Medical. Police are investigating whether Larry was driving at extremely high speeds.






No mention of street racing. Just hate to see people jumping to conclusions before anything has been actually reported by the police or the press.

Yeah, I made it up. I didn't see the Police officer in the interview this morning say that two cars were involved at high speeds. I must have been dreaming.
