im a firefighter here in thousand oaks and responded on that call. The couple was headed to santa maria for the show they were coming from newport beach. the driver was killed on impact but the passenger is ok and being treated at the local hospital. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends.
Saw it this morning on the news. Figured they were headed to Santa Maria...Tragic..My thoughts go out to his family and may the passenger recover..
My friend Eric and his wife were driving up early in their model A roadster, I can't get thru to him. Very worried. How do I get more info?
Awful...any info on how it happened? Other driver not looking, etc? Seems like people sometimes ignore us the way they do motorcycles
From the news report: Traffic: One fatality was reported in a multiple vehicle traffic collision in Thousand Oaks this morning, according to the California Highway Patrol. Three vehicles, including a Hot Rod, were involved in the crash on Highway 101 northbound at Rancho Road at 4:52 a.m. Two people were taken to Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center for minor injuries, according to the Ventura County Fire Department, who assisted in the incident. The crash caused some lanes of the highway to close and the roadway reopened at 7:10 a.m., the CHP reported. Further details were unavailable this morning. http://www.vcstar.com/news/2011/may/27/morning-report-fatal-collision-reported-in-oaks/ Sad deal may he rest in peace.
I read in the bible when a hot rodder goes to heaven directly from driving his / her car, not only do they get wings, but a jet engine too. Thought I'd add a bit of humor because that really sucks, my thoughts and good energy goes out to his family.
This news is very sad, my thoughts our for the friends and family and to the survivor in the roadster. Terrible.
Damn what a tragedy...can't seem to find any info on it though...have several friends with roadsters going, anyone have any more info?
From one of the other threads someone said it was a black primered Model A roadster with red steelies.
