It was bound to happen...

Well, I knew that the new fast and the furious movie was going to have this side effect, I just never expected it to hit so close to home. A close friend of mine was killed friday night, shortly after her boyfriend picked her up after he left the theatres to see the movie. Most can imagine what happened, but the short of it is her boyfriend and one other friend were in the car. The boyfriend tried to drift around a corner and ending up losing control of the car and skidding into a light pole at what the cops estimate was at least 120 mph. Both her legs were broken, her spinal cord cut and various other injuries including brain damage. She died at the hospital shortly after, but held on long enough to say goodbye to her parents/grandma. The boyfriend is in critical condition as well and not expected to survive.

I know I'm not known on here at all, as I always read the posts and not much more. Just thought i'd put this out there as a wake up call. It's always seemed that the members here are smart enough to not do something like this, but **** happens. I guess what i'm saying is if you feel the need to do something like this, please take it to the track and dont put others in danger, because you never know what might happen.

My apologies for venting on the board and brining a negative attitude around, just needed to get it off my chest somehow...
