Damn not only did it break the wheel off but it stripped the tire off it too.

Be safe out there . I enjoy jumping on it once in a while for a few seconds , but I like to see a clear road , no traffic with nice long strait way out of town . I work at power plants , oil refineries , paper mills , chemical plants in heavy industrial construction and even spent six years crab fishing in the Bering Sea in winter. I spend a lot of time driving on the road . The older I get , I find myself being much more cautious weather I'm driving , working , boating or even hanging X-mas lights up from a ladder . Safety is a major part of my life and find myself asking what is the worst thing that can happen .

RIP to those kids who were just getting started in life .

UPDATE: Authorities identified the victims as Larry Jessamy, Sarid Shahdaiah and Quincy Williams.
Two of the victims were students at Dekaney High School in the Spring Independent School District, according to district officials. Counselors are available on the campus to help students and staff deal with the deaths.

ORIGINAL STORY:
A speeding car Wednesday crashed into a overpass crossing Interstate 45 in north Harris County, killing the driver and two passengers and tying up traffic for hours, Harris County Sheriff's deputies said.
The driver lost control of a Chevrolet Camaro about 3:45 p.m. along the northbound I-45 feeder road near Paramatta.
Deputy Derek Wilkie a sheriff's accident investigator, said they were not able to immediately identify the three people inside the car but they appeared to be men in their 20s or 30s.

He said a witness reported seeing the Camaro driving at least 80 mph along the access road just prior to the crash.
"But that (speed) has yet to be determined," Wilkie cautioned.
A woman driving a van apparently left the freeway and moved onto the access road and then immediately pulled to the far right lane, where the Camaro was, Wilkie said.
The driver of the Camaro swerved to avoid a crash, but the two vehicles did strike each other. The car veered across the lanes before hitting the far left curb and launching into the air, deputies said.
Wilkie said the driver of the van stopped for a few moments then drove away without offering any assistance or leaving behind any way to identify her.
"We just need to interview the driver of the van and see what happened," Wilkie said.
The car apparently struck a curb on one side of the feeder road then crossed over and struck the curb on the opposite side. The Camaro launched into the air, slamming into a pillar at the Paramatta overpass, deputies at the scene said.
The force of the impact caved in the roof of the car. Deputies compared the effect to stepping on a soda can.
"It was an extremely violent crash," said Harris County Sheriff's Sgt. Mike Harvey.
The Camaro had a Utah license plate, and deputies said there is no indication it was stolen.
The driver, a front seat passenger and a backseat passenger were killed on impact.
Deputies weren't immediately able to get to the bodies because of the condition of the car.
Although a service station and a car dealership are near the scene, deputies said they haven't located any security camera videos that might shed some light on what happened.
Deputies closed off the northbound feeder road at the scene. The crash and the investigation caused major traffic delays for hours both along the freeway and nearby side roads.

Judging by the picture there, they must have been freaking flying to beat hell.

I love my car, I am sure the rest of you do too, but please don't let it kill you. If you wanna go fast go to a track and do is in a safer setting.

Safe being relative in this case, I guess.

Also hopefully those who were involved in the hit and run are brought to justice.

She was probably scared because she was an illegal alien and had no license or insurance....

Sad and unnecessary loss of young lives.

Wow that is soo sad
Regardless if the car was going 70 or 75 the van was at fault and this wouldn't have changed.

People need to be held accountable for their mistakes. How the he'
ll did the driver flee after hitting them. I would not be able to ever forgive her. That is the most cowardly thing a human can do. No excuse.

What makes it worse was that they were young. And by the looks of it. A very nicely modded camaro which I fear has had some interaction with camaro5

80mph is not wreckless guys come on. Look at the actions of the van

This is truly sad and frustrating

Wreckless on an open road w/out traffic? No, not at all.
Wreckless on a feeder road, midday in Houston,Texas? Absolutely
