That is horrible! What else can you say? These cars are too much for young kids with little to know experience.

Wow! I've responded to a lot of different vehicle accidents, but to see one involving a car you own is pretty unsettling. Also unsettling is that they are most likely still in that car when the picture was taken, hence the tarp. My heart goes out to thier family and friends

That's incredibly tragic, especially considering how effective our cars are in protecting the passengers. I'm a Firefighter/Paramedic and can assure you that those pics illustrate one of the worst wrecks I've seen. I hope it helps to drive a point home to others. Those guys were still in the car when those pics were taken, as stated earlier. They probably weren't removed for several hours until the scene investigation was completed. The fact that they couldn't tell who was driving should say it all. Be careful out there.

Driving is a huge responsibility.. It's your life.
Life is more important then driving fast..

It's too bad that TWO lives were taken in this incident.

one more reason to keep it on the track.....very sad for the family and friends, also not be familiar with the power of the vehicle probably contributed.

Not understanding the fast steering ratio probably had more to do with it than the power of the car. You twitch the wheel in an EVO and you are in the other lane instead of moving over a foot like you would in a normal car. I feel bad for the familys

I agree, it doesnt really say if they were driving wreckless or speeding or anything. Who knows what happened.

Stall sad to see and I also feel for their friends and family

I kind of found it tacky how on the page about a horrible car accident where two kids died... they have a bid advertisement for Dodge... with Hemi power... unleashed.... maybe it's just me...

my condolences to the families...
