I see people flipping thru their pictures on their phones while driving 75mph on.101. Sceeens are the worst. Have seen 2 times in the last week someone staring st phone veering off roadway and coming within a foot of mowing over a bicyclist, one was
kid on a bike.
Prayin this next solar storm takes down wifi 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Its only a matter of time, wifi tech was developed during solar minimum.
The adults in our home all have older cars with no screens in.them yay!!!!
Always good guesses.
Looks like a damaged Beamer. Hopefully, there’s one less spoiled brat on the road. Praying for the parents.
18 year old with a BMW? – probably rich parents. Although, a little less rich, now, especially with the new insurance payments.
No attempt by the driver to flee the scene? Either not a local or blatantly disrespecting community standards.
The driver’s car was smashed bad enough that he could not have left the scene. That little jerk does not respect anything!
The touch screens in new vehicles are even more distracting than cell phones. Combine the two, and this is what you get. And an 18yo with a BMW? Can we say spoiled brat?
I don’t know Ronda. EPD didn’t waste any time to jail him. Brat might be too kind a description.
him???
18-year-old driver.
My stupid.
I wouldn’t say spoiled, his parents did not by him that car. It’s not like it’s a brand new car you guys are acting like it’s a brand new 2026 BMW. It’s an older one and if y’all look on market place they aren’t super expensive maybe stop assuming stuff
Hey- he was not reckless! It looks like he recked at least 4 of them….He was reckful!
The 18 year old driver, named as “London Zachary” on loco, there is no way that is a real name. Maybe a middle name and an alias or middle and first, I get the feeling this young rich person’s identity is being withheld because of his rich affluent parents and this news would surely make them seem less palatable in the community if their son is a degenerate
“Landon Zachary” is the person’s name. I’d say you might need to up your prescription for your glasses but you sure can spot a conspiracy so I don’t know. 🤦♂️
The 18-year-old driver needs a good dose of jail time. Driving crazy and way over the speed limit, not bright. Going through a stop sign not bright. He is just lucky he did not kill someone in one of the four vehicles. Just a damn punk!
