On June 19 2002, Melbourne, a friend of mine who I went to
school with was in a serious car accident which also involved
4 other mates.
The car had earlier been stolen and it was reported to police.
At a set of lights a police car came up behind the stolen car
and flashed the lights the driver immediately drove through the
red light and the chase was on.
The police van got up to speeds of about 140 km/h(100km/h is
roughly 62miles and hour) the police called off the chase and
then minutes later they came in contact with the car and this
time the driver really took off and were in pursuit again the
driver took a slight corner but ended up sliding along the opposite
lane until it was almost going head on with another car the car
swerved and couldn't correct it back and went across the opposite
side of the road onto the side strip it took out a pole and a
brick fence the impact was herendous leaving pretty much nothing
left of the car.
Amazingly one of the passengers walked away with a hop from a
sore ankle and bruised eye but the others weren't so lucky.......
the driver had a piece of wood impale his chest, one mans head was decapitated and my friend unfortunately died from
internal bleeding, luckily the other guy survived but had to
endure rehabiliatation. the driver was 27 years of age and my
friend shaun was 16 the other guy was 18. it shows how delicate
life is when three young guys with a whole life ahead of them
is cut off.
Sure they were in the wrong by being a part of a joy ride in
a stolen car but if u knew these guys u would understand they
lived life to the fullest and thought they were invincible. Us
people in Australia arent used to these kind of things because
of having a law for wearing seatbelts and don't usually lose
more than one or two lives in a serious car accident, but the
facts that it was 3 young men killed by something so worthless
without having to say it this is a tragedy. Take care people.
