something had to have been wrong with this guy.

 

i drive on the 118 to get to work and i go East in the mornings and there was alot of car parts on a truck that was cleaning up the freeway and the trailer got toasted that whatever it had inside was long gone and the side of the freeway caught on fire too. on my way back today it was all cleaned up except for the burned smell which was still in the air. well the xB was completely stock with those factory 7-spoke wheels that some come with from the dealer. also they crushed a chevy cobalt that was near them so it was a really bad accident.

 

He drive for 3-4 miles on the FWY the wrong way.
The truck he hit caught fire and so did the brush on the side of the FWY.
The car had two people - injured, but OK.
Truck driver OK.
Scion driver dead.

 

thats crazy. At least he didn't take anyone elses life

 

Yeah, first thing I thought too.
Usually, the morons take others out and survive.
Even if he was "only" tired, that's a state you don't drive in.
Just as bad as being drunk.

 

yeah man it's horrible how it happened but honestly if he was tired as to what they say, i don't think he would of had driven that far going backwards, he was drunk but they usually say that so the family won't look bad although it's already done and can't be reversed to change the mistake.

 

I saw the burnt spot too. A section of the freeway surface is all charred and black, part of the embankment at the side is burned, and the area smells like something is still burning.

 

The news said he was Juan Mann Junior. Anyone know him?

 

Two cats died, toxicology will take a while to complete.

 

the news definitely called it a, "toyota scion"

camo green down =\

 

xB.
Looked silver, with rims.

 

actually it was black or that dark grey color with the 16" factory 7-spoke aluminum wheels.

 

what an idiot , killing himself and interfering in other people's lives.

 

what a lame

just seen a 08 tc go down yeterday around 8pm on Puente ave & Vincent ave

 

thats just sad all my prayers go out to his family

 

Stories like this are the reason why I'm not entirely comfortable with driving on the freeway late at night. There are really too many irresponsible/irrational drivers on the road.

It's possible that he wasn't drunk. My friend was killed by a wrong way driver on the 15 a few years ago and the guy that killed her wasn't drunk, just an idiot.

I'm not saying that this guy deserved to die, because that's horrible to say about anyone no matter how irresponsibly they have acted. It's a tragic accident, and drunk or not his death is tragic.

At least he didn't take out the semi driver and the people in the cobalt, though.

Still sad.

 

Dang I drive the 118 westbound every night, coming home from work, I get off work at midnight and the freeway was closed that night, I had no idea why, figured construction like everywhere else. Dang that is crazy to hear about, its a good thing I didn't leave early that night!

 

Very Sad. Never Drink And Drive

 

wow ..that's really sad :/
