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

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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!!!

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

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.

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.

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