I was told there was a possibly fatal 993 accident today on Puima Rd in what looked like a dark blue 993?
Hopefully its not anyone here.

EDIT: As unfortunate news strikes us all; The accident was indeed fatal, and the person who passed away was a fellow Rennlist member, not just a member but one who loved to help other enthusiasts all the time as well..
RIP Vince Tang- better known as Halcyon to others on here.

I hope it wasn't Halcyon! I know he is pretty young, is from Foster City and drives a 98 c2s. Sad no matter who it is but I really hope it wasn't anyone here.

From the pictures it's definitely a 993 and by looking at the wheels and red brake calipers I would assume a WB model.

Unfortunately based on Halcyon's build thread and the photos, it appears to be his car. RIP

Here's his words in a quote from 5 months ago that now seems so prophetic... "I even had the honor to follow our fellow RLer's Ben and Jaeger's Speeeedster at Laguna Seca It's actually rather funny as I barely knew how to drive a manual just a week before then, and there I was, on the world famous Laguna Seca track going through the legendary corkscrew. Thankfully, I didn't stall haha or else that'd be awkward and embarrassing."

Sadly, that looks to be Halcyon's 98' black C2S, even has the same wheels. He hasn't been active since 6:18am yesterday morning. Very very sad.

I notice some red interior bits as well.
Holy ****... RIP.

Sad in any case but car looks black with same wheels in his avatar. Sad

It's always great to see young folks with a passion for these cars, but just goes to show how life can change in a heartbeat (for any of us) and these things can bite back. Tragic to the extreme, RIP.

Looks like it might be a turbo from that engine shot? I hope its not halcyon. I guess it was someone whoever it was. 22. too young. RIP.
