Too bad. Nothing good happens in a car at 3:15 a.m.

Eek... The injuries were brutal:

a lacerated bladder, he tibia and femur in Davies' right leg were broken and he also sustained facial fractures and a fracture in his left elbow in the accident...

7587 is right... Nothing good ever happens after midnight...

The car was literally torn in half, such a sad incident...

I have a feeling in the next couple days there will be a report of speeds in excess of 100mph and BAC in excess of .15. Those pictures look gruesome.

Indeed... One thing to note is that Davies was NOT driving... Not that it really makes it any less horrific.

The GW parkway is built more like the old Columbia river highway than I-84.

It's definitely not 100MPH territory.

Very sad. It reminds me of the movie, "Bella."
