Shaaaazam I thought my dent was bad but who was on the 290 leaving the car show elmhurst. I was stuck in traffic for a hour with Pat,Tony,Pete,and some other SE members I dont know there names. Pat got some pics I'll post them as soon as he sends them to me.

 

It wasn't any of our guys was it!

 

I seen the tC as I left from the streets of woodfield where a couple of SE guys were eating after and as I arrived the tow truck just had pull right in front and I seen NO SE OR SCIONLIFE decals which I take it wasn't anybody we know I hope whoever was drivin had there seat belt. IT WAS BAD!

 

Got just word that the Driver WAS A 18YR OLD GIRL and crashed into the Wall and was Ejected Out as it flipped Over! She was pronounced Dead. just so happened to be right after everyone left the Elmhurt show is why everyone was panking and calling too see if everyone was Okay! lets say our prayers to the family! lets be safe out there Guys/gurls and Wear ou Seat Belts!

 

yes, please drive safely. don't know how soemone can flip a car or crash it in heavy traffic. I almost never get clean traffic any day of the week around Chicago anymore. So drive responsibly. Sounds like someone could have clipper her I bet

 

Was this girl at the show?

 

yes just to say im am happy the everyone stopped to see if it was one of ours and didnt simply drive off! you guys know who you were! as far as the family im sorry for your lose!

 

HOLY CRAP !!!!! she was pronounced dead !! Im glad it wasnt any of ours but still in disbelief that is happend period.

She was at the show?!?!?!?!??!?!
This is why we should all wear our seatbelts........

 

I bet she was on her cell phone too.

 

I agree also this is a lesson for all to learn from. I am not part of the scion evolution but this is suggestion (if anyone knew the girl or family) send a card on behalf of everyone to show condolences to the family. I think that would show some type of support to the family whether or not the girl was part of scion evolution. just a thought

 

As my subject says this is a little off topic. And my condolances do go out to her family. But it ____es me of that people refer to our cars tc xb xa as a toyota scion. They dont call it a Toyota Lexus. Yes i own a scion, yes toyota ownes scion, but its a brand itself. End of rant.

 

Split and cleaned up...

No lock... but disrespect of lost Scion owners is not going to be tolerated...

Sad to see... sorry for her family... no matter the circumstances, loss is loss.

 

I guess the roof does hold 1.5 times the vehicle weight. The roof is completely in tact on this one. Toyota trains us that all their vehicles will hold that much. On some of them I believe it without question but the tC with its glass roofline had me wondering.

This is a horrible accident and I cant even imagine what her family is going through. I cant believe some people would be so disrespectful in this thread. I obviously didnt know her or have anything to do with her but I still am sympathetic to the situation. At the very least show some respect for a fellow Scion owner even after life. I dont wear a seat belt ever. I wear racing harnesses... My xB now has both.

 

it was NOT an se member, nor do i think it was anyone at the show. regardless i hope that the family is dealing alright w/ the loss.
my wife was the first to see this and called me immediately and so went the phone tag.

y wouldnt u wear ur seat belt? it helps u drive better and oh yeah, keeps u safe. hopefully someone will learn from this

 

Wow! That's some crazy stuff. Sorry for the familys loss...

Is it me or has there been a rash of tCs flipping over, ALL over the country? This is not good...

 

Thats crazy to cause when we drove by we saw the body on the shoulder covered with a tarp. That really sucks.

 

i didnt see the body but it was a freiky moment just sombody saying they saw the body

 

Yeah I remember that day, jacked up my day! I was already exhausted enough. Took me almost two hours to get from just west of Mannheim to my home (Paulina exit)!

I'm sorry, may sound rude but when someone is irresponsible by not wearing their seatbelt and as someone else said probably on their cell phone. DON'T WASTE MY TIME. I have my seatbelt on EVERYTIME and that belt is SNUG and TIGHT. If I was dumb enough to not wear my seatbelt and ejected from my car, run my ___ over for being an idiot!
