Police are saying this rollover may have been caused by drag racing. The article says it happened on SR-18 in Auburn, WA.

Ah, Highway 18. I risked my life on that road every day in high school. Hilly, twisty, narrow and logging trucks. The stretch by Auburn was a little better, but had drops as shown in the picture.

Drag racing a new VW Beetle... what has this world come to?

I do believe the "Beetle" is actually a 911.

I was just playing off the report. Facts are irrelevant in news in this age.

This is what I thought of when I heard beetle and drag racing in the same sentence.

On SR 18 eastbound just east of SE Auburn Black Diamond Rd (MP 7) there is a collision blocking the 2 left lanes. Medical Aid, Fire Assistance, and the State Patrol have arrived on the scene.

That's per KIRO Radio's webpage.
