Tongan royals killed in Highway 101 accident

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/14981304.htm

The royal couple apparently died after their 1998 red Ford Explorer was sideswiped by a speeding white Mustang on Highway 101 just north of Willow Road around 9 p.m. Wednesday night.

Edith Delgado, 18, of Redwood City, was allegedly racing her 1998 Mustang against a black Cadillac Escalade at speeds up to 100 mph when the CHP says she hit the Ford Explorer in which the royal couple were riding.

The collision sent the Explorer over several lanes, CHP spokesman Ricky Franklin said, as the driver tried to regain control.

The SUV flipped multiple times before coming to rest on its roof on the highway shoulder.

All three people in the SUV were wearing their seat belts.

According to the article you posted the Dimgado vehicle was a Cadillac Escalade and not necessarily an SUV. However, the vehicle the royal family was in was actually an SUV that flipped several times. So. I'm thinking it actually WAS the SUV's fault since it flipped but Dimgado was just racing.
Stupid article/editor/writer/whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!
