Rachel Berg, 18, was speeding in her brand-new Chevy Corvette on a Mesa highway about 10:30 p.m. March 12 when she rear-ended a Harley-Davidson being ridden by Michael Clark, 46, a Tempe park ranger...
Berg pulled over and tried to perform CPR on the fallen biker but he died at the scene — then told police she couldn’t stop in time before ramming the Hog, AZ Family said.
Data from her car’s airbag control module reportedly indicated that she had been traveling at 155 mph five seconds before impact and 87 mph when she struck the bike after slamming on the brakes.

So, vehicular homicide. Besides being in big trouble she has to live with it for the rest of her life.
Yeh, me too. I bought a grey market 5 speed 16 valve Mercedes and I ran it up to 120 mph out on I60 between Lake City and Jacksonville but there wasn’t a soul in sight and I only did it for about 30 seconds.
My friend Alan was driving the car. He and one of his passengers were killed while "celebrating" the night before graduation day.
More car then driver brains some never stop to think who they are.
Yeah, I was going to suggest this too.
I don't? That's funny, as you have no clue, zip, zero of my background. Btw, if ya don't think some teens can kill themselves just as easy in a beater as opposed to a nice car, you still have no clue whatsoever.
It don’t matter what rifle they have. Some kid could recklessly point a 22. at your head and put your lights out just as easy as an AR can.
It’s not the gun, it’s the person using the gun. Just like in cars...lol.
You need to get out more.
You ducked my question ...
“in a beater as opposed to a nice car, “
beater vs nice car? That is not the discussion.
“I don’t? That’s funny, as you have no clue, zip, zero of my background.”
True. I can only judge you based on your posts.
Agreed.....
“It don’t matter what rifle they have. Some kid could recklessly point a 22. at your head and put your lights out just as easy as an AR can.”
LOL! A Barrett .50 is no AR!
How about a Yugo? LOL
What question is that?
You’re the guy who thinks a young stupid fool can’t kill someone with a low caliber rifle....Don’t be stupid.
Lemme get this straight, You think if this kid were driving at 80 mph in a Prius, they wouldn’t have killed the motorcyclist? This shit happens all the time slick.
You’re confused.
I wouldn't have taken a brand new BMW for the memories I had in that Dodge.
ANY car can kill someone, but SOME cars are much more likely to get a young driver in trouble. The margin for error at 150 mph is very small.
That 18 year-old in Washington - this was his third totaled car in 11 months.
There is video of one of his crashes (where he hit another car) and the cop is saying something like “Well, it was a stupid mistake, you were going way too fast - but it’s just cars.”
I’ll compare the credibility of my posts against yours any day.
You have no clue here. Most young teens don’t have $85,000 cars yet they kill themselves and a whole lot of people in used beaters...All the time...
