Default R.i.p Is300

Okay, I know most of you dont know me or the person involved, but the prayers are needed. I normally stay in the SC section because thats what I own. One of our friends who had an IS has now passed away along with his girlfriend who was also in the car world.
"For those of you that haven't heard Michael along with his girlfriend sarah got in a car accident today in nashville. Neither one of them survived this is a true tragedy michael was a great guy and a true friend that would help out anyone that asked. He will be greatly missed, so if yall could keep michael, sarah and there familys in your prayers"


R.I.P Micheal

Here is the story. He was on I-24 around Antioch in Nashville TN. It started raining and a tractor trailor cut in front of him. He veared off of the road and hit some trees in a large forest. His girlfriend was not wearing her seatbelt and was thrown from the vehicle. The car then soon caught fire.
Everyone on here please drive carfully and PLEASE wear your seatbelt. IT REALLY DOES SAVE LIVES

I've seen this on several forums. I can't believe how terrible of a wreck this was. My prayers go out to the families of the departed.

"It started raining and a tractor trailor cut in front of him."

^^The reports I've seen say that it was the other way around . Does anyone know if the tractor trailer driver was at fault and was he detained?

God bless him, his family and his lady. That is very sad to hear. I lived in Nashville a bit in 2006.

thanks to all of you. i really do appreciate it and from what the biker said who was following the TT cut in front of him, but who really knows the story. If he cut the TT off, how would the TT be involved? Idk but I really do appreciate all of you and he will be in our hearts forever. Really guys please be careful
