"He liked going to the race track, watching races," Courtney said. "It's going to take a toll on my family for a long time."
This is the ignorant mentality of the street race clique. Public roads are not "race tracks".
What we do know is the driver of the white sedan is not being charged so they probably were legal and just on their way somewhere minding their own business.
Whether the racers or the crowd is at fault is highly debatable. This was a place known for racing and one guy admitted to the ignorance in thinking the stretch was actually a racetrack. Would the by standers be there if there was no street race? Would the racers have been there if there wasn't an audience? If they would have chosen to be there without an audience, would the wreck have happened anyway?
From looking at it, personally, the crowd is at fault.
People should be held responsible for their own actions these days. They did not use risk management. When you don't think about the consequences of standing in the middle of the road in the middle of the night it is hard for me to find anyone else at fault when you get mowed down like a weed.
I feel very sorry for the driver of the white Ford and am most happy they did not die on account of at least eight idiots.
That's to bad, there are going to be alot of hurting familys. Did they get the two who were doing the burnouts?
I don't think that would even matter. The two drivers didn't make these people stand in the street. I feel for the families that lost loved ones but I view anyone who dies doing something so stupid, as someone who relinquishes all rights to be called a victim.
