One of my best friends in High School had an accident a year after graduation.....he was going about 100mph in a pontiac fireberd......car load of drunk teens in a 4 door plymouth valiant ran a stop sign, he hit them dead center on the drivers side and knocked the passengerside door post out with his bumper, 4 people died, one was thrown clear and lived. Changed him as a person even though all he did was speed. THe others who were the ones at fault all had very high blood level alcohol reading at the Autopsy.

Neighbor had a harmonic Balancer come of his 66 Chevelle when he was racing someone.....he later found out it bounced into oncoming traffic, went through a grill, radiator, hood, then the windshied before hitting the driver sqauare in the face. They died instantly. That man was never the same.
