ACCIDENT ON ROUTE 210

As tragic as this incident was with eight people losing their lives lets us not forget this was an illegal drag race on frequently traveled Indian Head Highway at 3:40 am.  Apparently, this was a regular event as if it was a legal race track with several people showing up on a regular basis.  The families are now calling for the driver of the vehicle that hit and killed the eight people to be arrested and prosecuted.  I travel this highway daily which has a posted speed of 55 miles per hour which is about 20 miles per hour less than most people drive.  Any driver traveling at a speed of 55 or 75 would kill anyone standing in the middle of the travel lanes especially when you had smoke/fog from the tires of the racing vehicles covering the highway obstructing the drivers view and pedestrian standing in the middle of road watching.  As I stated earlier, very tragic deaths but at the same time very illegal drag race.
