Unhappy A friend of mine lost his his life yesterday

I found out today that yesterday a good friend of mine had crashed his 89 mustang. He decided to show off his built beast of a mustang leaving his school parking lot. He spun tire leaving the parking lot and the people who saw the crash said it looked like he was trying to shift into 2nd when he lost control and slammed sideways into a wall. He wasn't wearing a seat belt which probably would have saved his life. He died about an hour later in the hospital. His death has really made me think twice about doing dumb stuff and showing off. I just wanted to let you guys know another mustang owner has passed.

R.I.P. Joe

Ive done dangerous things in my car when I was younger. If you learned something from him then his death was not in vain. RIP

That's the unfortunate thing about kids & cars, especially fast cars. If we as a country could collectively decide enough is enough and actually thoroughly teach every child how to drive this would happen far less. I'm sorry for you loss bud, losing a friend young is a hard thing to deal with. The MustangBoards family wishes all the best to his family and friends.

Dang man, sorry to hear that. The best thing is to look at what happened and try to learn something from it, its a situation that should be a reminder to all.

What really makes it sad is that it could have been so easily avoided. Its a horrible reminder for us all to wear seatbelts and be as safe and responsible as possible. I truly feel sad for the death of this guy, sorry for the loss of your friend and I hope his family heals.

Im sorry to hear this man because i lost 2 of my best friends in a car accident. We were meeting 2 of my friends at another friends house. And i went to go pick up my friend down the street and he mentioned that there was a accident on this backroad by their house. So i drove over there to see what had happened and i saw my 4 other good friends standing on the side of the street that were at the hosue that we were supposed to meet at. I pulled over with my friend and they said that they never showed up and heard there was an accident with a silver 350z.

So from the time we called them to meet up with us to the time i got to the scene it was about 15 to 20 minutes. We found out that it was our friends that were the ones in the car accident and were both killed. They were going about 90 mph on this back road and lost control over corrected slammed into a tree and the car let just say was no longer. But i cant leave out the 2 pedestrians that were hit by the airborne car before they hit the tree that lost their lives as well.

Just hang in there brosive it is gonna be a tough road ahead of you. It still is in the back of my head to this day so i have not and will prolly never get over what happened. I can say that i don't fawk around with my car anymore after my 2 best friends were killed speeding wrecklessly.

Im sorry for your loss and if you ever want to talk man you can always pm me anytime you want.
