Hollywood Car Racers Claim another Innocent Victim

Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood is fast becoming more popular these days, not for the film stars and celebrities that frequent the thoroughfare, but for the more notorious kind that lord over the streets at night - the car racers.

Reading the article, “Street Racing Causes Yet Another Fatal Accident”, posted January 2, I cannot help but sympathize with the family of the innocent victim killed in a tragic accident caused by car racing. Witnesses said the accident involved two BMWs, both driven by young men who are racing down the boulevard. One of the racing cars went out of control and spun, hitting another vehicle that the victim was driving. The driver of the vehicle died instantly from the crash. The passenger of the vehicle also suffered severe third-degree burn injuries and is now in critical condition at a hospital.

According to the article, the police were able to apprehend the driver of the BMW involved in the accident and found out that the young man was intoxicated while driving.

This clearly shows that alcohol and driving do not truly mix. And, as often the result of most car accident cases involving drunk drivers, the consequences are always fatal. In this case, the lethal concoction was added with the sudden impact of a speeding car, which proved to be many times more deadly.

For families of victims in accident cases like this, you have to consult an accident lawyer who has the experience in handling wrongful death cases in order to seek relief from the grievances and to teach drivers some lessons in responsible driving.
