[scupking]

Well, I turn on the news this morning before I go to work and one of the breaking stories was a 17 year old kid that had borrowed his mom’s mustang. He ended up crashing and was killed No one else was hurt.

thats unfortunate. was he joy riding or was it an accident?

I will try and find some pics of the crash but looks like he slammed into a guardrail then into a tree. The 11:00 news will be on soon and I will see if they say anything more about it. Looked like it was a trueblue 99-04.

Ok just pulled this off of the local news webpage.

"SOUTH WINDSOR -- A South Windsor teen is dead after a car crash on Interstate 84.

State police say that 17-year-old Ryan Foley was heading west on I-84 in Manchester when he lost control around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday.

His mother's Mustang crashed through a guard rail and slammed into an electric utility box on a DOT video pole.

State police are asking anyone who may have seen the crash to give them a call. "

This is the link if you wan't to see the short video.

It's a Mustang so everyone is gonna assume he was racing or driving fast.

In reality, it was probably a V6 (since it was his moms) and maybe he swerved to avoid a dog or something?

either way its sad that another young man with his entire life ahead of him dies at such a young age.

wasn't wearing his seat belt

 

[Mike97gt]

looks like a sixer to me, I bet he was not wearing his seatbelt. I feel terrible for his mom.. she is going to wish she never let him use the car.

 

[Cantslowdown]

Man thats bad to hear..Seatbelts save lives I wish more people wore them and I know sometimes they can be bad but still..I wair mine everytime i get in the stang.

definatly a sixer, stock steel 16" wheels small side scoops and no hood scoop.

Still a shame a young man died.. gotta pray for the family.

 

[scupking]

It looks like it could have been a survivable accident if he had his seatbelt on.

... at least the v6 got put out of its misery

 

[96gt4point6]

thats really scary for me, because i am 17 turnin 18 the 22nd of this month..... and i drive a mustang. i have been in a wreck b4 but luckly i only had whiplash and the other person was fine. that is very unfortunate for him....

 

[CatmanJJ]

Who doesn't wear their seatbelt anymore?

 

[Mustang5L5]

i wear mine all the time. I have too because my car has the seatbelt warning chime so if i don't it buzzes


(yes i know you can turn it off but what's the point?)

oh come on man thats terrible! this poor kid is dead, who cares about the car

 

[ponysarepretty]

I'm 17, going on 18, its not the car, you can give a teenager a prius and he will kill himself and give another teenager a veyron and he will do just fine...

truth

he was 18 not 17
it was his car that his mom bought for him so it was her name
and it was an accident, he lost control of the car

You know 'im?

Btw,

Don't bring dead topics back up

yeah it's unfortunately, I'm 18 and when i first got my car I was a bit reckless with it and eventually i realized that it wasn't worth the risk and now i'm a lot more careful. God help his family, that's such a hard thing to go through
