Absolutely tragic.
At the start of the Thursday evening rush hour, an 18-year-old in what’s been described as a black 2014 McLaren (I guess an MP4-12C or 650S) got on the I-805 freeway HOV lane IN THE WRONG DIRECTION and reached 100MPH before hitting several cars and killing himself and a mother and her 12-year-old daughter in a Hyundai SUV . In all, 8 vehicles were reported to be involved in the accident, and at least 2 burned to the ground. The freeway was closed until late last night.
I work right by the crash site and commute on that stretch of road daily . The on-ramps to the HOV lanes can be a little confusing, especially since they are located in a different place than the normal on-ramps. I think the McLaren driver probably got on the freeway at this spot.
The ramps are long and pretty
straight as they ascend to freeway level, giving plenty of time to accelerate before you reach the flow of traffic. Below are screenshots from Google Maps Street View.
Approaching the ramp where the McLaren most likely entered the freeway.
!!!CAPTION ERROR: MAY BE MULTI-LINE OR CONTAIN LINK!!!
Based on the above, I suspected this was
an extremely
reckless accident. Then I read that e
arlier in the
day, the McLaren reportedly crashed through a gate at a local elementary school parking lot, vandalized the school building, and sped away
. Now I am wondering if this was intentional.
Be safe out there, Oppo.

Yet California still hands out a license to anyone with a pulse.
And then we get this shit.

Supposedly this was a professional video gamer who went off.

18 year old disgraced videogamer. Killed a mother and child.
Our only consolation is that he himself was also killed.
I’m having a hard time mustering sympathy for this kid.
What a terrible tragedy for the innocent car.

Yeah so this guy makes weapon skins for the counterstrike game, and people pay over $4000 for these? Holy cow. Didn’t know this was a thing.

He was probably an OK driver. But he was not an OK person.
18 with too much money and an axe to grind, and he chooses to grind it on innocent people . Do not be this loser.

Seems it was an 18-year-old millionaire gaming entrepreneur going through a “difficult time,” so any of the above would fit...

That “Mother, Daughter Die Fiery I-805 Crash in University City” title sent chills down my spine. Their ages only slightly calmed me. One of my good friends, his wife, and their daughter live along that stretch of the 805...
This is insane and disgusting.

I have no doubts that it was suicide.

Confused how that is different anywhere else in the US. First time I’ve heard California being “easy” when it comes to anything.
