Just saw it on the news....vague details. Supposedly a very bad wreck on Rt. 30 in the Hempfield area. Thats a big ass area and they didnt narrow it down. They suspect people were street drag racing. Please tell me no one from here....

 

Tim I sent you a PM PLEASE let me know anything else you hear.

 

everyone is fine. just talked to wes. dave and dan are with him. noone from us is hurt or was in the accident to our knowledge.

 

Thank God!

 

I second this. Tim, post or PM and let us know what you hear.

 

yeah let me know guys, bamfnss had asked me to go to a balt meet out off the manhiem pike (spell). i'm not familiar with the manheim pike, but i drive up 30 all the time out that way to lancaster... so it may have been them.. let's hope not tho.. jeeze that would be horrible

 

im good

 

do they have any idea wat types of cars are involved in the wreck???

 

Manheim Pike is in Lancaster, this is right outside of Greensburg (about 25 miles outside of Pittsburgh), so it wouldn't have been any of the guys you know.

 

Not a clue, I still haven't talked to anyone from around here directly. Karla told me on IM cause I was worried about my boyfriend, but she said he's OK. Nothing else on the news as far as I know. Only thing they've updated is they're saying it happened around 8pm and now they're saying North Huntington instead of Hempfield, multiple cars involved, 5 people injured, 2 ejected from vehicles, and medical helicopters were called out. I can't see live news cause I'm in Texas right now.

 

Just so it on the news. Saw a picture of like a teal staurn ion and a cavalier. But it was none of us, we were all at pep boys watching the state boys fly by on thier way to it. i had to find a different way home cause on rt 30 there were firetrucks blocking the road and such.

No no... Rick that was last night's accident you were just talking about. The one this thread was referring to was earlier tonight. It was nowhere near where we were. Around that time we were grabbing some food anyway.

Everyone's fine from our group.

 

oh, Whoops, my bad....


Rick

 

Yeah we're all fine. Me and Dan tried driving down after you called and txt'd me Karla. But we didnt see anything at all. Kind of a vague area.

 

WOW... didn't hear ANYTHING about this.. I must have been under a rock all day.

I was in the burgh during the day and in New Stanton last night. Didn't hear or see anything.

Wes, Did Steve find you guys last nights ( PittsrburghSS ) ??

 

check the news chaneels website what is their news channel there?

 

Yeah Brian, Steve found us and followed us out for a bit. Apprently he found us when he was on the phone with you as I flew by him parked, he heard the whine, lol.

 

LOL

yeah, that's kinda the jist I got when talking to him. THe reception @ TJ's sucks in there, and could barely make out what he was saying.

Good that you guys were able to find each other.

 

Here is WTAE's article on it... now a Teenage girls baby has died... So horrible...

http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/...99/detail.html

 

I'm sure Steve saw it then, cause he goes that way when he goes home.

 

WOW that is so sad .

 

ok... well if those 2 cars were racing.... then i'm sure NHT and NVPD will be watching that kinda stuff like a hawk. Be careful out there.

That girl SHOULD'VE Been wearing a selt belt. If not for herself, for her unborn child.

I'm sure there's the argument that she could've still lost the baby with the force from the belt, but we'll never know.

Hence another reason why Street racing is stupid, even if there was no racing going on. Since they've not found the other car, the verdict's out still.

No matter how in-convienient it is to go to the track and have "technical issues" and have to go home, it's nothing compared to what those families are now faced with.

Ok... I'll get off my soapbox now.

 

They updated the link with the info.... ill cut and paste here for the lazy


Police said a car driven by 20-year-old Erin Schaub T-boned a Pontiac Sunbird on Route 30, near Lamont Drive. (Map)

The impact propelled Clark, who was not wearing a seat belt, about 20 feet through the rear window of the Sunbird, according to police.

Clark was listed in critical condition Monday. The conditions of the other injured people have not been released yet.

Witness reports that Schaub's car was racing another vehicle when it crashed into the Sunbird are under investigation, police said.

The other car is described as a white Chrysler PT Cruiser. Police are looking for the driver.

 

If the verdict is that the 20 year old guy was street racing he is royally fucked, vehicular homicide. He's going to jail for awhile.
