Sad situation.

Quote:

All lanes of the westbound 210 Freeway in Azusa have reopened after a wrong-way crash that killed one driver early Saturday morning.

Authorities say a black Honda Civic was traveling eastbound on the 210 West when it collided head-on with a white Nissan near Irwindale Avenue just after 3:30 a.m.

A male driver in the Nissan was declared dead at the scene. A female passenger in the Nissan was rushed to a local hospital in unknown condition.

The wrong-way driver of the Honda fled the scene, but Azusa police located and arrested him about two hours later. A passenger from the Honda is also in custody.

Westbound lanes reopened at about 7:40 a.m.

Damn...may the fallen man rest in paradise

Never enjoy reading stories like these

Nissan SX 280?

Pretty bullshit though. When I drive at night I'm paranoid about wrong way drivers with their lights off.

tricky_ab · 08-09-2014, 11:11 AM

Fuck that guy in the Civic who was driving (And the passenger for not taking the keys). Driving down the wrong way on the freeway? Yeah, he was drunk or something, and decided it would be a great idea to drive.

And then running? Man the fuck up, and own up to the stupid shit you did!

Throw the damn book at these clowns!

Westbound lanes of 210 Freeway reopened after deadly collision

All lanes of the westbound 210 Freeway in Azusa have reopened after a wrong-way driver struck another vehicle, killing one person and fleeing the scene early Saturday, officials said.

The victim, an adult male, was pronounced dead at the scene, said California Highway Patrol Officer Tony Polizzi. The suspected wrong-way driver was later apprehended by Azusa police.

Authorities first received reports of a wrong-way vehicle at 3:09 a.m., said Polizzi. Reports of the collision came in three minutes later.

joeapple8 · 08-09-2014, 11:20 AM

I just saw some thing about AZUSA being shut down for a fatal crash on my fb feed, I didn't know it involved a Nissan.

Wow, man, rest in peace to the guy.

chokudoriS13 · 08-09-2014, 11:21 AM

Another news report (video) with follow-up. S13 passenger survived. http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/...sion-in-azusa/

That's awful. What a piece of shit to run from an accident like that.

silviasandbeer · 08-09-2014, 11:40 AM

Saw this on my way in to work, i was driving on the opposite side

this kind of shit especially pisses me off cause of how dumb the honda driver was.. holy fuck, what the passanger and family must be going threw

off course the honda driver survives and the innocent driver had to suffer the consequences of some moron

being a 240sx enthusiast has nothing to really do with this, other than we lost someone who might have been a member on this forum and in general a car guy

id still be angered either way

rest in peace.

what a piece of shit to cause this type of accident

total ignorance... driving on the freeway in the WRONG direction

you'de really have to be on some serious drugs to do that

driftinstinct · 08-09-2014, 12:10 PM

Holy shit, this almost happened to me about a month ago. There was a car running from the cops driving on the opposite side of the freeway just like this. I was on a part of the freeway that narrowed down to two lanes and the guys was coming straight at me. I literally played chicken and had 50/50 chance of choosing the right lane. Thankfully I decided the right lane and missed the guy by like 2 feet.

angel mkiv · 08-09-2014, 01:37 PM

Dam that's fucked up! I hope that peice of shit dies in prison

Or just...

Don't worry, he was only buzzed and drives better with a buz.

*Wake* · 08-09-2014, 02:54 PM

Does anyone know if he was a member?

gbaby2089 · 08-09-2014, 03:05 PM

God damn

My condolences to his family.

I'm with everyone else here...I hope the driver of the Honda rots. Almost definitely a member, I can't imagine too many non-car folks would have 180SX tails.

feito · 08-09-2014, 03:46 PM

a report says that his name was Justin Romo, 19yo from El Monte. These guys are planning a memorial https://www.facebook.com/events/272845146249586/
This really sucks, guy was really young, i can only imagine what his family is going through, my condolences. Not to mention the family of the girl that was with him, hope she recovers.
To the driver of the civic, I hope he pays for this.
Be defensive at all times when driving guys, it's a world of morons out there. I once dodged an oncoming car that was driving on my lane while it was raining really hard, he probably didnt even realized what happened...

chokudoriS13 · 08-09-2014, 04:26 PM

Just as I figured, he was coming back from GMR. Made that same trip countless times years ago... Sad stuff.

Romo was caravanning along with friends in other cars after spending some time up in the Azusa Canyon, Garcia said. Several of his friends witnessed the crash.

R.I.P. young soldier. I remember when I was 19 and the 240sx was still new and exciting to me, I didn't know much at the time but I was absorbing knowledge like a sponge when it came to these cars... Sad to see this kid will never get to experience adulthood.

J3123MY · 08-09-2014, 06:24 PM

Sad. RIP. I don't know why people drive on the wrong way of the freeway.

I think we all saw ourselves in that situation.

Michael E · 08-09-2014, 08:08 PM

RIP, just remember if there is something you can do to prevent these situations when you are around your friends, by all means do it. Ive had to hide keys many times

zerodameaon · 08-09-2014, 10:41 PM

I keep seeing people referring to this as an accident, there is no chance in getting in your car drunk, this country needs to up the dui from paying high fines to charging you with attempted murder. RIP

ZenkiKid · 08-09-2014, 10:51 PM

Stuff like this is why I am paranoid about being on the road past midnight.

RIP.

RIP.

Cities that cut off public transportation at midnight have very minor role in all this. I lived in SD for a few years where the trams stopped at midnight and now I live just outside of SF where the same thing happens. Drinking doesn't stop because the trams stop.

J3123MY · 08-09-2014, 11:41 PM

I do not think drugs are the problem. I think its more a mental issue.

Negative.

First, who is going to pay for empty buses and what not, taxes bro.

Second, $20 says douchebag Civic driver has never set foot on anything but a school bus.

Whether he was a member of Zilvia or not, the best way to honor the man is to have members of Zilvia show up at the memorial in their S13's and S14's to pay respect to a fellow 240sx driver who was taken before his time.

Trust me the tram to get back to base in SD would not be empty, even drunk members of the military can see that 2 bucks is better than 20 for a cab, and maybe some could even see that 2 bucks is better than thousands for a DUI. Quick question, did you even read the article?

EDIT: Ok this is not the place to be arguing this stuff, if you want to argue Corbic take that shit elsewhere.

Akito86 · 08-10-2014, 01:59 AM

by the look of it seems the young man in the s13 swerved right abit on impact, in a way he saved his passenger life. may he rest in peace.
and for the brainless idiot that hit them, i must wish him a terrible life.
