From a rear end collision??? How fast did that kid have to be driving to kill 2 people by running into the back of their car?!

Crazy. Feel bad for anyone to go out like that. I bet they didn't even see it coming.

And the intersection it occurred is pretty basic and you can see for a ways. Not like it was around some big hairpin curve.
Sad, really.
And I despised "Touchdown Auburn" each and every time, but I really feel bad now for his entire family and his close friends.

Not only that, but the kid who hit them only had minor injuries. You'd think in a rear end crash bad to kill the driver and passenger of the front car that the rear car driver would be seriously hurt as well.

Front airbags rarely deploy from a rear impact, and if the kid plowed into them at ~60MPH it definitely could have caused enough force for catastrophic head and neck trauma even if their seat belts worked properly.

I'd bet money the fricker was texting and driving, further reinforcing my opinion that smartphones should be like alcohol or tobacco and not legal to possess until you turn 18 or 21.

It sounds like he was stopped getting ready to turn and someone plowed into the back of him. If that kid was going 60-70mph It could definitely have killed someone.
