Listened to an interview with a guy that was there. (Forget his name) The damage to the trees and light post indicated a high speed impact that he felt would have killed them on impact. Looking at the damage, I'd agree. They most likely were dead or unconscious before the car blew up and burned them to char. He also said investigation showed power steering fluid on the ground before the impact spot. Leading them to believe it was car failure that caused the accident. The skid marks leading up to the first tree were straight showing an inability to correct the car if it was out of control. They said had they been trying to regain control of the car, there would have been a more curvy skid mark left behind. So I'm guessing they impacted head on or at an angle sliding straight trying to go into a corner or coming out of one?
Just crazy this happened. Really opens your eyes to how quickly things can change and one misstep or variable can dramatically change things. Really sad. His GF and daughter were at the benefit when this happened.
