Got some really bad news today :(

Post by nope-mx3 »

Found out a couple hours ago that a friend of mine was killed today in a car accident.
What happened was that a tourist managed to cross to the wrong lane and hit a 18-wheeler, and the 18-wheeler crossed onto the other lane and hit my friend straight on. Killed him on the spot.

So, it doesn`t matter how good you are at driving, when there are other people on the roads.
Stay safe, and think twice. Sometimes it`s enough just to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This guy was also well known in the tuning community here in Norway. He has/had an Audi S2 with about 600whp, and was supposed to be filmed next friday by High Octane.

Check that movie, and you will see what a nice car he had. (he drove a company car in the accident)
