This **** really necessary or even news worthy? Here's an idea- if the video is so difficult to watch then don't air it at 11am as you've already reported the story. I'd expect this from Channel 7 but c'mon. Who needs to see this kid at the lowest moment of his life just because someone shot the effing video?
Yea...and Andy Fūcking Slater with the gruesome details so he could say he was first. It’s very possible that family, close friends, even close family found out through the Slater tweet. That’s not how it’s supposed to work if you have respect for people. I realize it’s a free country and he can report what he wants, it’s just a total lack of respect. It’s sickening. Fūck Andy Slater
Difficult to say what happened but that's not the greatest engineering design as Dolphin Expressway merges to Palmetto Expressway south...836 to 826 if you prefer numbers. I have had trouble there more than once. It is tight and abrupt and the barriers tend to blend.
Sharp diagonal lane changing is so commonplace in this area, even at high speeds. I could see a problem in that area if a vehicle suddenly realized it needed to go south on 826 but was not in the proper lane. The video with the overhead road signs makes it look more tame and clear cut than it actually plays out.
Obviously nobody is making any excuses here until the details emerge but you're definitely correct about that interchange. It's almost as idiotic/dangerous as trying to hit 595 from the Turnpike as you come from the south. Nothing like having to merge 3 lanes in the span 2.6 seconds.
How did the accident happen?Hopefully he will be ok. School needs to teach players about driving. Last year Herndon DUI, luckily no one was injured. Have had multiple players die in car accidents over the years.
