    Do we recognize the car??

    Might have saved it, had he not gone into oncoming traffic.
    Both drivers DOA..

    Looks like a white California. Tragic for the guy in the other car who was just living his life before getting plowed into. Not to discount the Fcar driver, sad too, just the other guy didn't have a say in it. I've heard of people racing on Westheimer, but with all of the traffic, business driveways, and stoplights, it never made sense to me. Hopefully it's not someone we know.

    Looks like a Cali T from the exhaust tips.

    Dang this definitely sucks, but not fair that the Hyundai driver had to die in this. RIP to all involved.

    Can't seem to find any descriptive pictures/videos of the cars after the crash (the Ferrari taillights look OK ;)). In any fatal crash, I want to know if the Driver(s) were wearing their seat belts -- but the Media never seems to report this important information.

    Both of those cabins look in somewhat survivable shape (if they had their seat belts on). When the damage protrudes into the cabin (and just obliterates) where the person would be sitting = doesn't matter seat belt, or not, but I'd still like more media coverage about this so people realize how important using the seat belt is to surviving a crash. <<<rant off>>> ;)

    I just don't understand "my town" any more...I can go deep into the East Side and make new friends, enjoy live music, and see old ones, like we are awakening from some deep sleep...and at stops on the way home there are lovely people, from the huge Door Man, to the lovely lady bringing me a drink.

    Tiffany...

    But I always try to "get off the Ducati" at dark, and now for the oddest feeling I just thank the Lord when I close the garage door, and open the front door, and play with my dog.

    I know when I went downtown a few weeks ago, after midnight to look for "lost car keys" that it was a scene of mayhem...rented scooters, young people out in the early hours. I really sincerely pray for them all.

    This won't end well......

    Nothing much comes up Googling our fellow owner.......of course, cameras are everywhere, as that crash scene footage shows.
