Prom Night Crash

I was searching for a car crash on Google in Portland, and I accendently came across a very sad story.. The team is 1087 from West Salem High School I believe and I would like everyone to express their condelences to the Hopper Family. This is very tragic and I know she will be remembered within the FIRST community. I will put something on our website in rememberence of her and I encourage you all to do the same, I will have my team make it this weekend and then I will post when I have it up. Thanks

Nate

Re: Prom Night Crash

Such a sad story. It is unimaginable what that must be like for the family.

Everyone going to prom, I urge you to be extremely safe in everything you do, especially driving. Don't bother your fun night with the burden of driving. Hire a professional driver, your life is worth the cost.

There was another similar incident just the other day in Orange County, CA http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/news/052...promcrash.html

When I heard about this one, I actually considered switching to driving a safe sedan type car, rather than a lifted truck (which I currently drive). The photos of the people and parts of the SUV laying all over the road were just astonishing.


If I ever find myself in a position to make/influence laws, I would definitely make stricter driver training/testing/education requirements as well as improving vehicle standards. Lots of accidents are caused by people not knowing how to handle a situation. And if race car drivers can walk away from a 150+ mph crash, there is no reason the public shouldn't be able to as well.
