Yeah, well the story goes, Z braked/slowed to avoid traffic, silverado caught up and rammed/pitted him.

Wow, that accident report gives a lot of personal info....

I think it would be completely different if this was because of showing off and street racing, but the second your life becomes threatened its different. Was doing 100+ the best answer no but when the natural reaction of Fight or Flight kicks in there's no time or mental clearness to think his brain told him to get out of the situation now and quite frankly if i was in the same situation being in the Z my Brain would go immediately to flight Just get out of there and get out there now.

the results are an absolute tragedy i felt sick looking at the pictures and I Really hope the driver pulls through and makes it. my prayers are with his family and him.

Finally you wanna talk about unnecessary speeding here you go. NJ State Police doing 91 MPH with the Ex Governor and his wife unrestrained in the car. Thats what I call unnecessary speeding, from some one who had to be SWORN to protect and serve the public not bend the rules cause you think im a Cop transporting the Gov i can do whatever i want. It makes me sick to think a cop was doing 25+ over the speed limit just to get someone home a little bit quicker

there was a video on some off duty cop getting pulled over in wherekese, florida...

Damn... what shame. The first anyone thinks is "Stupid kid in a sports car got drunk and crashed into a tree." But the more you learn, it sounds like this guy was just trying to avoid confrontation and got rammed by some angry, drunk redneck who has a history of domestic violence (mugshot link a few threads up). Really hope he pulls through and is well enough to see this guy get a long, long prison sentence. The passenger needs to make sure that justice gets served.

Wow. Makes me cringe.

Yeah the passenger was a 29 year old girl she made it through with just scratches but the driver (Sean Markham) who is also only 29 got ejected and is in ICU still but he is awake now but still can't move anything

Let's hope he recovers. Blame and punishment (if needed) can come later. I just hope he pulls through ok.

Calebluna · 11-04-2011, 06:57 PM

If only y'all knew the damage done to sean all because the guy in the silverados girlfriend went to the club with him..

Calebluna · 11-04-2011, 06:58 PM

I'll post his health when I get updated from his family.

My anger over this situation precludes me from making adult comments. The dumb a$$ in the truck deserves a one way fishing trip off Okaloosa Island. You know, the kind where a Mackrel is implanted in his swim shorts and he is thrown overboard into shark infested waters. Preferably with Bull sharks which frequent the northern gulf coast.

My mature and adult comment is to hope and pray for his health and a full recovery and trust that our judicial system will handle the guy in the truck. I wish I could make more sane comments and offer more words of strength for the victim- I keep coming back to tar, feathers and a baseball bat for the pickup truck driver so I'll end on that.

Just found out that Sean (Z driver) only met the girl passenger when he was leaving the club because she came up to him and asked for a ride home and her boyfriend (driver of the truck) saw her get in so he went into his rampage which caused the accident.....

That's even more messed up. We're all pulling for him.

Cyberium · 11-04-2011, 08:32 PM

Cale,

If there is anything we can do... let us know. I'm sure the Z community will come together to help a fallen brother. By the sounds of things, he was only trying to do a good deed and things got out of control.
