FR-S involved in another Fatal Crash?
 
An early morning crash Saturday near West Flagler Street and 58th Avenue claimed the lives of three people, including a father and his child.

Miami police said Alejandro Hernandez, 19, was driving a Toyota Scion that was speeding west on Flagler Street about 2 a.m. when it collided head-on with a Ford Expedition traveling east. The crash was so severe the engine block of the Toyota Scion was torn off the car, and that of the Ford Expedition was pushed into the SUV.

Edit: mods deleted thread turns out it was a Tc

From that article it could have been any Scion vehicle. I don't see a picture of the Scion wreckage to tell what model it was.

That crash was so BAD and so sad. I wish street racers think hard at the potential consequences before doing it.

Seriously, and it is not even that hard to think of the potential consequences because of the news and whatnot, however they just don't learn from seeing how bad it can turn out. :thumbdown: to them.

Now that's a relief, tired of opening this forum and seeing a fellow member wreck..

Don't send the driver to jail. Let him back into society, and force him to pay restitution to the victim's family for the rest of his life.

Here is a picture of the Scion TC it looks like...

ADDRESS is 5850 Flagler Street Miami FL on Google Maps...THIS IS THE WORSE POSSIBLE TYPE OF STREET YOU COULD EVER DECIDE TO SPEED ON...

From the sounds of it I can easily visualize that scene from the first F&F between the Supra and the Ferarri. Driving in oncoming traffic..... is stupid.

Racing on a crowed street is stupid to begin with!! question to ask is why the driver swerved into oncoming traffic?

There are kids in early 20's on over w/ "big ego" roadrage on freeway 120mph+++ everyday. Their windshield should tag w/ these photo.

Anyone know what the racer is looking at survival pending , life in prison?
as well for the other racers involved , it's only a matter of time before they find you
I don't know how you could sleep at night after something like that

Heard about this story this morning by my gf, someone told her about a frs crashed in flagler. I had to dig in google to see if it was. The story was just a turn of a bad event. RIP

For the same reason I have been passed by riced out tC's driving in both the center turn lane and street parking lane. Us slow people are in the way.

With follow-on pics showing the drivers in jail. This might in fact help some kids smarten up before they hurt someone (incl. themselves). Others you just can't reach and no matter what they will think they are indestructible and it won't happen to them :thumbdown:

A scion tc took out a Ford expedition? And the driver of the scion survived, but all the people died in the Expedition? Seems like the Expedition would have ran over the tC....Maybe the people in the Expedition were not wearing their seatbelts, and they flew out...
