    Daron Thanks for the email....
    But witness and police say the car was drifting and that's what I said!!!! We as reporters don't make assumptions now as the story develops we will of course make updates...But we pass on what the investigation is showing at that time.. happen at 3 on by 5 and giving you what in the police report....
    Also Daron people say the car was turbo charged up...
    So lets see if Police and Witness say and their is evidence to support it.... then isn't it fair to say that's what he was attempting to do... ..
    it's not about my opinion... I know folks who drift that I've met in Raleigh and they have explained it... this man was drunk according to police and people say they seen him try this before... Now if he tried to swan dive and he couldn't make it--- isn't it fair to report what he was attempting to do???? ...
    I strive to rise above the fray... one story one true fact at a time.. just the facts, just the facts!!!!!

    LOL@the facts!

    Is this guy serious? The least he could've done was used correct punctuation and grammar considering he's all about "facts".....

    -"turbo charged up"?
    -"assumptions"....Umm, you ASSumed a Chevrolet Cavalier was a "sports car", right? Duh!
    -"investigation"?.....are they the same investigators that told you the "facts, just the facts" that a Cavalier was a "sports car" and that he was severely injured yet walked away calling for a lawyer????

    Whatever.

    Sounds to me like the reporter is a little arrogant.
