"Vermilion — A 19-year-old driver died Sunday night when his car crossed the Ohio 2 median near Baumhart Road and smashed head-on into a tractor-trailer.

Christopher Pauley of Vermilion was killed in the 7:45 p.m. crash, which set both vehicles ablaze and briefly closed the freeway.

Police said Pauley was driving west at a high speed when he apparently lost control. When it hit the semi, Pauley was thrown from the car. The Camaro exploded.

The Michigan driver of the truck carrying food products was treated for minor injuries at an area hospital and released."

I just saw this on the news and thought i'd post it up. The guy that died was driving an lt1 4th gen camaro. Apparently he either had road rage or was trying to race another car. The other car involved was an eclipse. I figure the two were probably racing and the camaro driver lost control. The camaro was literaly in 2 pieces when i saw the pictures of the crash schene on tv.

I have raced a few times on the street I know it is not the safest thing to do, but you also got to use some sort of common sense. This guy was going after some ecplipse...why bother. If I am not mistaken the roads look wet in the photos...wet roads, high speed, and F-bodys don't mix well. It also sounds like he was weaving through traffic, from the reports of other drivers, which also makes this a deadly combo. And lastly this guy was only 19 so I am sure he didn't have a lot of wheel time.
