surprise surprise, a douche driving a bmw. Don't worry, Avishkar's rich parents will bail him out and buy him a new bmw

Why is it that it takes over 6 hours to take care of a crime scene? I don't understand...........

That's not a good intersection. About a year ago, someone else was killed in an accident there.

It's wasn't the intersection that was the problem.

BMW-driving, red-light disregarding, self-important ass clown was the problem.

I didn't mean to imply that. The intersection has left turn signals and such, it's just that bozos coming off the 101 from a night of partying tend to go very fast through there. I wanted to note that this is the second horrific accident there in less than a year.
