Accident on Granville St. Bridge southbound this morning
 
I hope that it was no one from here as there was a fatality.
I saw a Mercedes and a Del Sol.

Condolences to the families

Fucking asshole drunk driver in the Mercedes. Glad the POS was arrested at the scene by police and didn't to the "crash and dash".

When I read this I knew the fatality was in the Del Sol and the occupants of the Mercedes (assuming they were belted) would walk away.

I saw this on my way to work. Rip to the del sol driver.

Unfortunately, it usually kills someone other than the drunk.

Went over the bridge after 9:00 this morning and they only just started extracting the driver of the Del Sol.

Holy skid mark Batman!

It looks like a AMG CLA

Capital punishment needs to be brought back...

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of that del sol driver.

nsx042003 07-31-2014 08:39 AM

didn't look like a head on, was it high speed rear end?

RIP delsol driver...

SpartanAir 07-31-2014 08:49 AM

They're saying a rear end. So sad, 20+years of quality and technological improvements in the Merc, the Del Sol didn't have a chance.

RIP

I wish I didn't do a Google search for a picture of the Del Sol. My heart aches after seeing it. RIP to the driver of the Del Sol.

Very sad. Rip

drunk driver will get slap on wrist

friend of mine had most of his family killed by a drunk driver, he spent not 1 day in jail.

what a disgusting shame. drink driving should just not even be in our mentality anymore.

Drinking and driving is so fucking retarded


First thing you learn when you become an expert partier is that you never, ever drive even after 1 fucking drink!!!

6o4__boi 07-31-2014 09:37 AM

RIP

saw it on the news this morning. That del sol looked like an ek hatchback because of the impact of the rear end.

N8 07-31-2014 09:57 AM

RIP :(

It'd be interesting to see if the merc's CPU can tell how fast he was going before impact...

The thing is, its just so fucking retarded, and if you can afford to go out to drink in this expensive city, you can afford a cab, or a bus ticket. Why risk it? Hopefully the driver (if it turns out to be true he was drunk) kills himself at his nearest opportunity to take himself out of the gene pool. The thing is, its going to be some rich little fuck, who parents get him the best lawyer because their little angel can do no wrong, and he will get off, because all you need to be above the law is to have the money for it. We are the new America.

knight604 07-31-2014 10:04 AM

I read the crash was so bad for the del sol that they had to move the car to another location to remove the bodies.

ZN6 07-31-2014 10:23 AM

That is sad, I ride under that bridge to work every day. At 3:45am, it's just a couple of hours before I would have rode under that same bridge.

I hope the drunk driver drives into a wall the next so that he doesn't kill anyone else for such irresponsible actions.

It has always been like that:

Guy with money gets off on law cases
Guy with money attracts the best looking women with zero effort
Guy with money has all of the opportunities to make more money with his money

When you have money the world is awesome and you have to fuck up pretty bad to have a bad day

When you have no money the world is designed to keep you having no money, serving the rich to make them more money plus facilitating the ease of their lifestyles along with keeping you from having access to the quality women men with money have access to

The only thing to do is... make sure you have money!!! :D

multicartual 07-31-2014 10:37 AM

Merc crashing into a Civic and killing the driver, if he gets off, will be a good metaphor for how Vancouver is a playground for the rich and if you are poor you should shut the fuck up and get the fuck out of the way

westopher 07-31-2014 10:40 AM

Its true, but it seems more prevalent now. Maybe I'm just more aware of how much it fucking sucks now that I'm older and worry more about family, politics, finance and the state of the world than a night spent partying. I wish that shitty movie the purge was real, and better.

KO7 07-31-2014 10:45 AM

RIP to Del Sol driver. Hope the piece of shit Merc driver doesn't get let off lightly.

Dude for the last 5 years of my life I have been struggling to come to terms with the truth of western society:

Money and fame are our new gods

If you are well-known and have money, you literally walk on water. Women throw themselves at you, money just attracts to you, and the laws that apply to mortals do not apply the same way to you.

Being narcissistic is generally an advantageous trait these days as it ties in with how image-based our society has become. Once you secure social capital, you are the fucking man!

Here's to hoping that the driver of the Merc is made an example of. What a fucking asshole.

underscore 07-31-2014 10:50 AM

How fast was that Mercedes going? Drunk driving is a bad enough problem, speeding like crazy while drunk is even more ridiculous.
