I was looking up Jeff Healey's obit when I came across this mention of a NYC car crash. This seemed like it had to be from a movie or something:eek:
FROM: LifeInLegacy.com...Warren Davies (35) driver whose unoccupied box truck was struck by a sports car driven by Olympic sprinter Roger Gill (35) at a Brooklyn intersection, leaving five people dead, including Gill, and at least six others injured. About 10 minutes later, two passengers, Naquana Kilpatrick (25) and Gilberto Howard (17), were killed when their car they were traveling in struck an elevated train pillar at the site of the accident, leaving the driver and another passenger critically injured. Another unidentified driver died after his vehicle hit and plunged into a guard rail at an exit ramp on the Long Island Expressway. The car later burst into flames as it fell into Flushing Meadows-Corona Park at the scene. Four more peple were hospitalized with minor injuries after a police patrol car and a sedan collided at the scene of the accident. Investigators believed high speed appeared to be a factor in the city car crashes. Davies died at the scene in Brooklyn, New York on March 2, 2008.
