Drag Racing Cars Critically Injure Young Mother and Children
A terrible car crash that could have been avoided critically injured a mother and her two small children on Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Two men were booked for investigation of attempted murder in connection with the crash that happened in the San Fernando Valley of California.
The drivers got into a dispute shortly after 3:00 p.m. in the Van Nuys area and began racing and weaving along city streets at speeds up to 90 mph. The cars were cutting each other off and were jockeying for position, a detective reported. They were tapping on their brakes and trying to cause one vehicle to ram into another one. In Reseda, California the driver of the Camaro slammed on the brakes, and the Nissan tried to avoid it and hit a parked car. Tragically, a 31-year-old woman and her two small children were smashed between two parked cars. The woman lost one leg and the other is crushed; doctors were trying to save it at the time of this writing.
Her 4-year-old son was hospitalized on life support, and his 8-month-old sister was hospitalized in critical condition. Witnesses said the little girl was "launched into the air and slammed into a tree." The boy reportedly has massive brain trauma and is on life support.
