From Ananova news:

"Police are seeking drivers who were overtaken by a sports car moments before it crashed and overturned, killing the driver and his teenage passenger.

West Mercia Police said the 30-year-old driver of the Subaru Impreza and his 16-year-old front seat passenger were killed when the vehicle spun out of control and struck a Mercedes on the B4368 at Hungerford, Shropshire.

A spokesman said both victims were from the West Midlands area.

A man and a woman in their 50s travelling in the Mercedes were taken to hospital in Telford. The woman suffered a broken breastbone and the man had minor injuries.

Sergeant Tony Mantle said he was particularly anxious to trace the occupants of a people carrier which was overtaken by the Subaru just before the collision at 12.45pm yesterday.

"There were at least two people in the carrier. It was one of several vehicles overtaken by the Subaru prior to the collision and had to stop as a result of the collision."

The 16-year-old died at the scene and the Subaru driver was cut free and airlifted to Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham, where he was certified dead on arrival.

Officers believe the Subaru clipped a verge before colliding with the oncoming Mercedes S280 and overturning."

 

Nasty Stuff...

I lived used to live in a Pub on the A610 near Ripley in Derbyshire and that was a steady stream of incodents like this...

Worst one i ever saw was an RS500 Cosworth... 2 Brothers from Leicster.. Hit a lamp Post side on Ton up and cut the car in half...

Driver was killed and his brother got out and Sodded off....Nide eh

Turns out it was Nicked...

I have to say though I only fealt sorry for the guy who's Cossie it was...

As politically incorrect as it might sound I firmly belive you can never ever have enough "dead" Car Thieves.....

 

Damn right!

 

I will second that

 

yep, the more the better!

 

shoudnt **** with another mans (or womans if any scooby owning totty on scooby net) motor

 

nice to see you included us 'scooby owning totty ' in there !
There are a few of us!

 

im all for scooby owning totty as long as its slower than mine coopz dont want me big male ego to take a bashing he he

 

Agree with that, the best car theif is a dead car thief. Problem is it won't stop anyone nicking cars, they all think there're invincible, low life sc*m.

 

off topic!

 

I know the Police Officer!!!

He has an Evo5

 

er! no body said car was stolen,i think it was said driver was showing off. according to local police report.
Dug.
i agree with above comments on car thieves though..

 

At the end of the day it means that your insurance costs will be going up yet again to cover these numpties when they do themselves (and others) in.

 

IIRC, the tea leaf that Listy mentioned (ran off after his brother was killed in stolen Cossie) went on to become a multi-millionaire thanks to the lottery.

 

But back on track for this incident was it anyone off here perchance
