I saw a bad accident on 85 south towards downtown

**TIGERJC** · 08-20-2006, 03:50 AM

I saw an srt 4 and a silver or grey civic on the shoulder. The accident involved two cars, one car t-boned the other car. The car that t-boned the other car went through the passenger side door and ended up on the driver side. I only posted b/c the srt4 and civic look familiar from a earlier meet. There was at least 1 fatality in the crash from what I could tell and I hope it didn’t involve anybody from IA

**silversol** · 08-20-2006, 03:57 AM

so the civic or the srt got t boned what style civic? eg or ek It might have been some one leaving bp tonight!

**TIGERJC** · 08-20-2006, 03:58 AM

I looked like a red civic that got tboned. The civic and srt4 were on the shoulder, I guess it was there friend. The civic and srt4 could just been witnesses to the accident

**silversol** · 08-20-2006, 04:05 AM

like a stock civic or a moded hatch details!

**ohm4life911** · 08-20-2006, 04:06 AM

**ohm4life911** · 08-20-2006, 04:07 AM

lol couldn't see much it was dark but 11 Alive news team was out there recording it.

**TIGERJC** · 08-20-2006, 04:08 AM

idk, I was trying to pay attention to the car in front of me. It looked like it was some ppl from project motorsports and I really hope is wasnt them

**£G2♣** · 08-20-2006, 04:22 AM

it was me

**TIGERJC** · 08-20-2006, 04:24 AM

I just talked to halfwit and he said it was a civic hatch and a altima were involed in the wreck. And that they both may have been at the gnet meet and that the civic driver is dead (rip) and the altima driver ran away form the accident on foot. I saw tyler from project motorsports on the side of the orad and he was a withnesse i think

mayb he accidentally brushed the quarter panel...put him sideways and hit him...that could b a reason y he ran away on foot. juss 1 of the many possibilities

**Stormhammer** · 08-20-2006, 04:56 AM

shit - prayers go out to the family of the dude who was killed

**Keebs ð¿ð** · 08-20-2006, 05:13 AM

I was the srt4 and Talyor was the gray civic. We didn't witness the wreck but almost slammed into the altima on our way back from gwinnett. The 2 cars were sitting in the middle of 85 with no lights on. We both pulled over to check if they were alright. We couldn't even get up to the car because other cars were swerving and losing control. The police told us after sitting on the side for about 4 hours that the guy in the red civic was killed and most likely died on impact. The witness who saw the wreck said a hispanic guy fled from the black altima. The cops caught him about 2 hours after we had been sitting and brought him back to the wreck. They said they can't tell if the red civic had a passenger until they pull the altima out of it. 11alive news was there and gave me an interview about the whole thing. I took 2 pics with a camera phone but you can't see much becuase the ambulance was right there with flashing lights. I just want to say that my prayers are with the family of the guy in the red civic and that the guy who ran from the altima needs to rot in jail. He should've stepped up and took responsibility for his stupidity. not to mention the cops ran the tag and vin as soon as they got there...

I have never seen such a bad wreck in person before. And I hope the family is strong enough to make it through this

**JITB** · 08-20-2006, 05:13 AM

They were both tuner cars and the witness who saw the wreck told the police they were racing and both flew by her. She said the civic lost control and slid into the far left wall then flew back across the interstate and the altima slammed into him

Thanks for clearing everything up. I was going to pull over to see if you guys were ok, but I wasnt for sure it was you guys. It looked bad, the car went almost all the way through the other car

**Keebs ð¿ð** · 08-20-2006, 05:19 AM

The front crash bar on the altima was touching the steering wheel on the civic. One sec, I'm loading the pics from my phone to the computer

The guy in the altima was scaried and thats why he ran. I personally wouldnt blame the person that didnt cause the accident, he was just scaried.

I also passed this terrible accident. They had a sheet over the drivers side window, but you could still see through the rear window...sent chills through my body. I just hate the thought of the parents getting that call

**Stormhammer** · 08-20-2006, 05:42 AM

man i dunno if i wanted to see those pics... i dunno, i guess i just hate seeing an accident where someone died - tomorrow is gonna suck

**Flip** · 08-20-2006, 07:29 AM

your a dumbass. still no reason for him to die. i saw the wreck, drove by it to see if we knew anyone involved. it was horrible.

**The Ren** · 08-20-2006, 08:46 AM

And only to the family. Better him than someone that gives a shit about living. And the driver that ran should end up with the same fate as the driver. Later, QD.

How? This why "shit like this" needs to be taken to a track and not on public roads.

Good. Later, QD.

**BlkCD5** · 08-20-2006, 09:23 AM

With NOPI soon approaching, sadly, there might be more accidents. The guy should of just stayed there instead of running like a bitch. They would of found his info anyways and now he faces more charges.

**2.0civic** · 08-20-2006, 09:38 AM

sad part is, if they link these two people to the gwinnett meet, we can all kiss BP and petco goodbye...

if the wreck happened the way the witness said, then the person driving the civic is dumbass(not saying he deserved to die though). How the hell(other than blowing a tire) can you lose control like that and obviously for him to get hit in the side, he had to be pulling on the altima or else the altima driver might be dead and not him

**Bruce Leroy** · 08-20-2006, 09:42 AM

was the civic a coupe or hatch?? what kinda wheels??

Given to location i would say its safe to assume they are going to just say it was kids from BP. Gives them a really good reason to kick us out now

**The BUCKY** · 08-20-2006, 12:16 PM

really sad

**Vteckidd** · 08-20-2006, 12:30 PM

No one has said it, but maybe the altima guy was drunk and ran to sober u? maybe he freaked out when he saw the other kid was dead.

If they were racing, that sucks, but thats what happens. Im glad no one else was hurt. No one is invincible

**ohm4life911** · 08-20-2006, 12:52 PM

Here is the link to the news story, its pretty short but the other guy was charged with a DUI.

DeKalb police plan to charge two men seen running from a fatal accident early Sunday morning.

Investigators say the two men were in a black Nissan that plowed into a red Chevy Lumina on Interstate 85 southbound between the Shallowford Road and Clairmont Road exits at around 2 a.m.

The Lumina had struck the median and veered back into traffic. The driver of the Lumina was killed instantly.

The driver of the Nissan will be charged with vehicular homicide and possibly, DUI.
