And he said he was only doing 40mph - now who would honestly belive that?!
You're soooooo right, 40mph wouldn't hurl ANY car 140 feet through the air!!, so you can say two things here that are definite; [1] he's lying, no shadow of a doubt, & [2] the police didn't know their a*rses from their elbows, anyone knows that he must have been travelling at a much higher speed than 40!!!
I don't know, I've worked quite a few wrecks as a Firefighter and you'd be surprised how damage can be done at 40mph, I have seen cars standing vertical against trees from running into them when drivers run off the road at 40mph.
At 40mph
-your reaction speed is 88 feet.
-braking distance is 101 feet
-stopping distance is 189 feet
However I do really doubt that he was doing the speed limit and I imagine he was probably going faster than he needed to. But no matter how you look at the situation it's tragic and 4 young girls lost their lives, but since none of us were actually there I don't think we should judge him, We won't know all the details. The only two people who know the whole truth about what really happened is him and The Lord.
I mean I honestly don't think a kid decides to run his car off the road and kill his friends. Besides no matter what that young man is going to have to wake up every morning for the rest of his days and live with the fact that because of his driving 4 innocent people are dead. I know that would weigh on me something fierce.
