A co-worker of mine died

[Cyco]

I don't care if anybody on here cares...I don't care if anybody even responds. I just need to get this out. I am in mourning, and it hurts.
On the morning of Dec 19th, 2 cars were on their way to work. 2 lanes became one and the GTO tried to overcome the PT Cruiser at 5 MPH faster. GTO hits a slick patch of road, spins out, and hits the PT Cruiser. Both cars run off the road, the PT Cruiser gets the worst of it, slams through a mailbox, fence, and into a couple of trees. The PT Cruiser driver dies from the trauma. The GTO driver lives, with relatively minor injuries.
I know/knew both of the drivers. I never saw either without a smile on their face. One was 25, the other 44 and about to retire. Both were military. Both are/were good men. One stupid decison and their lives were forever altered....hell, everybody that knows/knew them were. We will miss you Keith. May you live forever in the wild blue yonder.
All I ask from anybody is please....please.....don't let the 15 seconds you can save cost you forever....

People need to be more careful out there in rainy conditions.

I will admit this gave me a much needed smirk in the midst of sorrow. But my sympathy goes with you as well dawp.

i've thought that so many times when I wanted to pass someone. the risk is never worth the hurry, and if im so late that 15 seconds makes a difference, youre screwed anyway.

sorry about your co-worker

How sad. One life over and another possibly ruined for that few second advantage.

So close to Christmas too. Very sad.

May God bless the families to give them strength to carry on.

Seriously. People speed for some silly friggin reasons. Going that 5 or 10mph faster isn't going to save you that much time on your typical drive. Know your and your car's limits and take it easy.

Sorry to hear. I assume its the 44 year old was the one who died based on the car.

He tried to pass the guy who was going 75mph by crossing the double yellow?? WTF
He needs to go to jail.

So sad for the older guy
