Actually the guy who started this post got alot of information wrong, or is just guessing. I know cause my sister was in the wreck, first the 370z driver was hanging out with my sister for a friends bday until he went to drop her off at her suv around 5am, so that she could get her kids and go to work that morning. I don't know what happen when the guy pulled up, thats for the police to determine but all I know is he went flying out of the parking lot at the end of whatever occured. There was no gun mention in any news or accident report and I don't believe any assault, 370z driver decided to flee at high speed, and my brother inlaw made a stupid choice to follow them. I'm not coming on here to start trouble or past blame, as far as im concern they both hold blame and are lucky they didn't kill someone. Now from what I was told yesterday (again not sure it's 100% fact, Im not his family), the 370z driver was taking out of a induced coma, and he was able to move his hands and feet. So hopefully he will be fine, and please everyone should keep praying for his recovery. Now as far as the actually accident, no the silverado did not pit him, run him off the road,etc. If you read the accident report you will see this also( link:
Police release accident report in FWB crash (SLIDESHOW, REPORT) | report, fwb, police - Northwest Florida Daily News ) the 370z driver was flying up on traffic with the silverado right behind him, the driver hit the brakes hard causing the silverado to slam into the rear. Given its rwd it lost control with all the weight being transferred to the front during braking. This is case of two people how made bad choices, hopefully they learn from this. This actually could happen to anyone who has ever tailgated someone at high speeds (street racing, stupid driving,etc.) this was just a case of two people too close together and not enough distance to stop. I Hope the 370z driver is able to recover fully and maybe in the future this may stop someone else from making these mistakes.
Oh I was told about this post by my friend
edit: All of the above was edited to remove information that probably should be left for lawyers to discuss, I left the details that are public, the accident report states exactly what happened. This is not add fuel for theorys or anything, this is to give a better idea of the truth to what happen and hopefully prevent any future occurences. (thanks to Red_Zone probably should of thought of that) As for known charges all from the accident report my brother inlaw is facing Operating a motor vehicle in a wreckless or aggressive manner, exceeded posted speed limit, failure to maintain proper lane w/other contributing causes. The 370z driver faces Operating a motor vehicle in a wreckless or aggressive manner, exceeded posted speed limit.
Also I think if the 370z driver would have had his seatbelt on he would of been alot less injured. The reason I think this is if you look at the crash photo #1, you can clearly see the seat was still attached to the floor around the transmission tunnel (saving the photo so you can zoom in helps) along with front portion of the floor on the door side. Also the seatbelt is still attached to the a pillar I belive it's called. Now keep in mind according to the article the fire department used the jaws of life to cut portions of the car (assuming door, and maybe the roof structure some) to gain access to the ingition since the car was still running. They ending up cutting the electical supply. Not sure but doesn't 370z come with push button ingition, or does the base model have a standard ingition? Just a thought as to why they might have not been able to find it, if it was push button. Also I know it comes standard now with rollover airbags, was this standard in 09 base? I just think with at least the seatbelt and if it had the airbag in that model, he wouldn't have been nearly hurt. Maybe some broken ribs, or limbs but not a neck injury, I'm pretty sure that came from the ejection. Anyways just thought I would point this out, maybe get someone who doesn't wear it, to begin.
