Too many of these types of crashes leave the criminal idiots alive and the innocents dead.
If the perp is ever allowed to drive again, it will be a gross injustice.
Of course I have absolutely no problem locking him up for as long as he draws breathe.
That’s called Gangnam style.
Promising HS Senior? At 21 years old and dragging at 131 MPH. Just what is/was promising about that idiot’s future?
He was also legally intoxicated and had pot in his system.
There’s a curfew for teen drivers but he’s 18 so he probably had a full license.
There was a similar accident in my down state Illinois town some years ago. The drunk driver was estimated to hit 125 MPH in a residential area before hitting(t-boning) a lady driving to work on a bigger roadway. The dude only got 12 years..
Yesterday I was at the cemetery where he is buried because a lot of my wife’s family is buried there too and we went to tend their graves. Marko’s grave is covered two or three feet deep with flowers. There has been a massive outpouring of sympathy and support for his family from the Serbian Orthodox community and his school. That small semi-rural cemetery was filled to capacity with mourners on Thursday. He was by all accounts a good kid.
I used to live around the corner from where the collision occurred. That is a four-lane street that goes through a business and residential area and is usually busy. There are reasons why the speed limit is 35 mph
The killer’s car has a dashcam that apparently recorded the collision and it also recorded his speeding and irresponsible driving in Chicago a few hours before the collision. It’s a dammed shame he wasn’t stopped before he killed Marko, but my experience is that police presence on those roads is pretty scarce.
A good kid lies under a mound of flowers because of this total bastard.
When I was in high school, the kids who had cars, they were beater cars, handmedown cars from parents.
we crashed them sometimes, but overall realized that if we wanted to have a car we needed to treat them well.
We even checked the oil every fill up, assuming the attendant didn’t offer to do it.
that did not stop us from group buying 100 or $200 cars and beating on them, doing doughnuts and burnouts and jumping them till they died or doing the demo derby at the track
Tie him to the car and drag him.
Death penalty. By the victim’s family if neccessary.
I had a guy blow by me at 100+ with lights off.
This must be the latest thing.
I defiantly have a heavy foot but this is nuts.
Northbrook man reached speed of over 130 mph in crash that killed Glenview senior: prosecutors
