High School Football Players Killed In Crash
Vehicles Crash On La Tuna Canyon Road
POSTED: 4:01 pm PDT October 1, 2004
UPDATED: 11:36 pm PDT October 1, 2004
LOS ANGELES -- Two high school football players were killed and a classmate remains in critical condition after a crash Friday afternoon involving a pickup and a car.SLIDESHOW: Two Die In Truck-Car Crash
The crash occurred in Sun Valley, northwest of Burbank. Firefighters and police at the scene said a street race might have led to the crash on La Tuna Canyon Road.
Authorities said two football players from Village Christian High School were killed. They did not identify the victims.
A father of one of the victims, a 17-year-old, said he had dropped his son off at school Friday morning.
"It's a tragic loss for parents, for a school, for a church," the father said. "I know everything he did and the things that his friend who died with him did will live on. He stood for a lot of good things."
Police said three high school students in a red Chevrolet Camaro were apparently racing a Ford F-150, also driven by a Village Christian High School student. Authorities said the driver of the Camaro lost control and struck a Toyota pickup truck that was not involved in the race. The crash happened at about 2:15 p.m.
Officers believe the Camaro was doing at least 90 mph when it crossed a yellow divider line and slammed into the Toyota.
Two passengers in the Camaro were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Camaro was hospitalized. Authorities said he was in critical condition.
"This is a tragic loss of human life," said Capt. Greg Meyer. "These are high school students. They are on the football team. They were supposed to be playing tonight in their football game and be cheered on by their friends. Instead, two of them are dead, one is critically injured, and we don't know his future at this point."
Firefighters used an extraction device to reach the motorists.
The pickup truck driver involved in the head-on crash also was injured. Meyer said he is expected to recover.
Police said the other motorist involved in the race left the scene. Authorities have not located the vehicle, which was described as a tan Ford pickup truck with mag chro
me wheels. It was last seen going east on La Tuna Canyon Road.
"This is a message we've been trying to get across -- speeding in The Valley can kill you. Racing in The Valley can kill you," Meyer said. "I can't overemphasize what a tragedy it is to have these young people lose their lives over nothing more than showing off."
Superintendent Dr. Ronald Sipus said the school system will continue to address the issue of safe driving. He said the students were "good kids" who "simply made a bad choice."
"I can't imagine what these parents are going through," he said. "All I can say is that we have and will take an even stronger position on this issue of driving. I would encourage any young person out there -- particularly those who think nothing is going to happen to them -- to look at what just happened."
Sipus said the students were driving back to the school to prepare for Friday night's game against Pasadena Poly in Granada Hills. The game was cancelled.
Los Angeles City Councilwoman Wendy Greuel represents the area where the crash occurred.
"These tragic deaths that occurred this afternoon in the San Fernando Valley remind us that street racing is not a game or a movie," she stated. "Illegal street racing terrorizes our neighborhoods and kills our children."
The fatalities were two of three during a deadly Friday on Southern California streets. In less than six hours, three people died in apparent street-racing-related crashes, authorities said.
The first was reported at 8:47 a.m. at 2925 N. Sierra Madre Blvd., in front of Pasadena High School. It took the life of back-seat passenger Cindi Masiel Urcuyo, 19, of Pasadena, the only one of five car occupants not to be wearing a seat belt.
She was identified by David Campbell of the coroner's office, which attributed her death to massive head trauma. Pasadena police said the two cars that collided were eastbound on Sierra Madre Boulevard when the wreck occurred.
Witnesses told police that the cars might have been racing.

And what the fuck did Chris and Nick die for?
For a cause?
For some reason?
No, over some stupid mindless bullshit. When will people open their eyes and realize that the car is the one with the power, not the man driving. I know the driver who survived, and I wish him the best of luck too. I couldn't imagine being in the position he is in for the rest of his life.
But that fucking dickless piece of shit coward who saw the accident take place but continued to drive off, I hope he burns in hell. What a fuckin coward. I know who that guy was too. The police arrested his bitch ass for leaving the scene of the accident which he did participate in. Fuck that fool.
Anyways, life is precious y'all, don't fuck it up over some nonsense like what they did.
-
damn... good luck with that man...
r.i.p.
-
Damn...I saw this on Fox 11......I feel for ya.....RIP

Don't worry about me, I couldnt imagine how their family are feeling right now, especially the parents. They were suppose to graduat from highschool too this year and they fuck their lives up like this.

and in 4 days i'm going to a friend's gravesite, he was on his motorcycle when a uhaul cut him off and killed him
it's sad shit to lose people in car wrecks
R.I.P.

Not to be a dick, but they got what was coming to them. It's just like gang banging, it's sad to see someone die, but it's inevitable when they lead that life. Racing ain't no joke. Nonetheless, R.I.P. and condolences to the family and friends.

SGV how could you say something like that man, you know just about EVERYONE has done that sometime in their life, they were just unlucky and got fucked.
Because it's the truth. You do something dangerous, you're BOUND to feel the consequences sooner or later. When I drink and drive, I run the risk of crashing and dying, I know it. I do it anyway, so if(god forbid!!!!!!) I ever do crash while drunk, I can't blame anyone but myself.
Anyway, I won't ruin this thread. R.I.P.
-
Damn, sorry to hear that man. R.I.P.

Damn man, u ok?
Any idea how the driver's doing?
RIP to your friends

It's the truth man. I don't know about the passengers but the driver is definitely to blame.
The driver right now has some spinal cord damage, broke most of his ribs, shattered collar bone, 2 broken legs, bleeding of the brain, and he lost an eye
If he comes out of it, it's been confirmed that he faces 2 counts of manslaughter. The guy they were racing with, another guy I know but I don't consider him a friend, he is still no where to be found.

I would've much rather died.

My boys brother killed some family while he was drunk and driving, he got manslaughter. He only did a few years. Not that bad, considering he killed people.
This guy won't be placed in general population. He's not gonna be right when he gets out. He'll probably stay in the Medic Ward.

But that was real sad to know a kool guy go just like that...That guy i was told had problems and was not close to jesus but he just started getting spritually close and then this,...
-
Always sad to hear about the loss of life... I don't have any explanations man, or anything that will make you feel any better... whenever I have something tragic hit my life, I find sometimes though it's best to back away and look @ the big picture, whatever you believe that to be, and forget your individuality for a while. If you dwell on the personal implications, it'll kill you, but if you imagine the universal implications, the whole situation seems more natural, and slightly less sureal.

Nah he went to Village his entire time in High school. Yeah, he wasn't saved though. The passenger Nick was a huge believer though.

Damn, this shit was a year ago yesterday. I still see that guy around that survived the wreck. Something about him still goig on with life just pisses me off. Maybe I'm in the wrong, I dunno.
-
Hows the dude doing now? Hopefully everything's alright.
R.I.P agian
-
I actually heard alot of bullshit about that guy. Hearing he's putting on an act in front of people, but then tries to crack jokes about the accident n shit.
I know if I was that guy, I would of left the area, maybe even the state and start over. He's got fuckin balls.
-
Man, if that shit is true. That dude does have some fuckin balls. He'll get his, be it in this lifetime or in hell, he will.

Is this the same guy he have spinal cord damage, most of his ribs broken, two broken legs, lost an eye, and bleeding in his brain? I thought he was supposed to be charged with two counts of manslaughter?
RIP to your two friends.

Alot of em were bullshit rumors at the moment. He did have spinal/neck injuries, broken ribs, a broken leg and emergency brain surgery to reduce the swelling. He's made a full recovery though. The families of the two guys he killed didn't want him prosecuted, so he got extremely lucky.
He basically only lost a fuckin car and some time int he hospital. Other than that, he got off scott free.
-
^ thats fucked up man....but if he hasnt forgiven this shit to jesus, his justice will be in hell....

Damn!!! He got offffffffffffff mad lucky. When I first read about his injuries and the prosectution, I thought he was FUCKED for life. He does have alot balls walking around in the same city. I would have seriously moved to New York or something and start all over. That would really suck if the rumors of him putting up a front are true. I hope he really is not cracking jokes about it.
-
I hope the talk is bullshit too. But yeah man, he got off with fuckin double murder, thats insane.
-
Hit that motherfucker with your car if you see him

i haven't read all of the posts in here, but wasn't the ones who died friends of him too? If that's the case, he didn't get off cheap..
I lost a friend in an accident earlier this year too, and the driver (who's also a good friend of mine) survived. He has to live with being responsible for his best friend dying, and i'll tell you, it hasn't been all good for him. I talk to him alot, and not a day goes by without him asking "why couldn't i have died instead? why?"
I understand everything you're going trough tho... like when all charges were dropped and the driver got his license back, many people (including me) had reactions... and when i see him today, living life as he did before the accident, it kinda stings. But you've got to remember, the survivors of fatal accidents are people blessed with life, they were inches, even milimetres from death, but they're still here.
R.I.P. to everyone killed in trafic :'(

damn this is really tragic, may God help you and their families..RIP

Yeh dude agree with'cha here... a friend of mine died in a car crash nearly 2years ago worst thing was his cousin who was in the passenger seat didnt have a seatbelt got thrown from the car but yet survived with only a few cuts n scrapes.. my mate who was driving had his seat belt on when they crashed but thats what killed him, because it pushed his rib cage into his heart...
RIP to the people and their family and friends who have lost someone in car crashes...
