I went to high school with this kid. He had a built K24 RSX-s, shown in the picture.

RIP. ---

Sorry to hear, and best wishes to the family. What are the detail of what happened? Judging by the condition of the car I highly doubt he wasn’t doing something stupid. ---

He was speeding down Rt. 8, hit the pole, then flipped over from what I heard. ---

saw this on the news last night & they said speed was the cause. Sorry to hear. Tough to tell it was an RSX by the damage, other than the wheels & the fart can. ---

> [@yamaha"](#): > > Thats a damn shame. Sure is. Here is the shame of it all - what the kid’s mom is going through. 1. Her sister died a few years ago 2. Her daughter died at the age of 12 or 13 (she and I were in the same class, happened in 7th grade) 3. Her husband died a year after her daughter. 4. Her son is what this thread is about. I can’t even begin to imagine what this poor lady is going through. A lot of my friends are friends with the kid that was killed in the accident, so I will be facing a lot of this over the next few days. :down: > [@Dear MSG Network,](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dear-msg-network/39206/23): > > yeah i knew the guy through my friends. my best friend growing up was friends with him, because he was in the grade below me and so was charlie, the kid that died.

I think I met the girl (Jamie?) on or two times before the accident. That’s also a shame. ---
