Early morning July 24th, 2011 the city of Saginaw received news of a car crash that happened the night before killing four young teenagers and one in critical condition. Later that morning while watching the news I found out it was I knew three of the boys in the crash, and I had even seen them before the crash at the gas station. Reckless driving caused the crash. The boys had been at a party and on their way home they were racing a car of friends, while trying to pass the friends in the left lane they didn’t see a truck coming in the same direction. The mustang and truck had a head on collusion instantly killing four passengers and leaving the driver in critical condition. Hearing the news was devastating to everyone that knew them, especially to myself since I saw them right before the accident. The driver of the mustang had his younger cousin in the car and it was his sixteenth birthday, another passenger grew up around the corner from me and another was in town for the week visiting a friend. Reckless driving caused this accident and took away four great teenagers from the world, but the accident was 100% preventable. All teenagers need to make smart choices while behind the wheel, life its self is more important then whose car is the fastest.
