At some velocity, any car filled with gas will become a fireball on impact.
Car and Driver's review of the car made it very clear that this car would be a death trap on a city street. Siince these two were car enthusiasts, they knew what they were getting into by driving this at high speed on a city street.
Thank God their irresponsible actions did not kill anyone else.

Am I the only one that thought "soot in breathing passages"?
Not if it's doing 3 mpg or similar - this model is basically a "Road legal" racing car.
Ok, so 9mph....

The autopsy report called it "scant soot"- he didn't breathe much in prior to his death. He had severe injuries outside of the fire. Multiple broken bones including fractures to both his forearms indicating he braced himself for impact. Something you just shouldn't do. The driver seemingly died on impact from massive brain trauma- it was exposed and no soot was in his trachea.
Did they ever come up with an estimation on how fast they were going?
I keep coming in here hoping for hot Vin Diesel pictures. Cmon y'all.
Crash sounds horrific. At least death was quick.

I took scant soot to mean that maybe he took 1 or 2 breaths after impact. He didn't survive long after the fact, just a dying breath.
Poor daughter knowing that everyone knows that.
Actually after the day I've had (crazy-dog-rescue people) it just adds to the general feeling of wanting to cry.![]()

The LA Sheriff's Dept. determined they were going 93 mph at the time of the crash. The widow of the driver tried to claim they were "only" going 55 but I guess the court didn't buy that.
