She admitted that she was coming from happy hour to her home. Didn't think it would be a problem because she knew she hadn't had too much to drink.

Or he ran her license and it came back with some prior convictions. Would love to see a link to the full story...

Oh that's right you know her. So no priors? Just said going home from 2 beers and bang? That's insane.

Could also have been a cop looking for the DUI conviction to add to his quota.

er, conflicting report.


http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/bro...,2800863.story

The owner of the Ferrari sports car, involved in an Interstate 75 crash that killed a Southwest Ranches man, has invoked his right to remain silent, telling homicide investigators he will not answer any questions related to the high-speed collision, police said Wednesday.

Questions like: Was Radomin Delgado behind the wheel of his 430 Scuderia when it plowed into the back of a Hyundai Sonata at 12:30 a.m. Saturday?

"He did not want to speak to us," said Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Dallani Garcia-Cruz. "He made no statements."

The same attorney also represents Delgado's wife, Patricia Verde, co-owner of the Ferrari, said FHP spokesman Jose Sanchez. Sanchez would not release the lawyer's name.




Either way, I doubt an attorney would let the police SEE the owner.
police want to see if he has any injuries from the crash...

From the story in the link you posted.

"FHP investigators said they could not comment on his appearance when they saw him Tuesday."

We all can make mistakes but there's no excuse for leaving the scene of an accident not to mention any excuse for DUI.

I wish they could some how find out who the driver was (which they will) and if he/she was intoxicated or not and punish the person accordingly

After many years of driving fast cars too fast on public roads, I have wised up before something tragic happens to me or someone else. I realized that I have the same issues as any other addict, I can't get behind the wheel of a nearly 400 hp car and not speed excessively, although I never drive impaired. So I have dumped my street Porsche and got a pickup truck, which is really no fun to go fast in, for daily driving and have taken "save it for the track" advice to heart. Stories like this confirm the wisdom of that decision.

The quote from Pulp fiction "I am Mother %#$G Far from OK" comes to mind.

This. ^ Have exceded the speed limits a time or 3 but nothing crazy. I also have become slower on the street the faster I am at the track.

This kind of thing is sad all around. One thing for "**** happens" accdent. Another thing all together when a "what did you expect?" type happens.

I just read this thread except for posts from the moral high ground.

So is Radomin Delgado a RL member?

FACT: The Ferrari driver is a douchebag.

RIP and prayers for the innocent victims in this accident.
