It was a hit and run. NOT a street race. [http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=8359&zoneid=2](http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=8359&zoneid=2) > At 12:57 a.m., a Newport Beach Police cruiser spotted Lewis’ red Ferrari and a white Porsche driving out of control on the southbound side of Jamboree Road, according to Lt. Jim Amormino, a public information officer with the Orange County Sherrif’s Department. > The Ferrari then struck the curb and hit a utility pole, tearing the car in half. After coming to a brief stop, the Porsche fled the scene. ---

Secondly…the two of them driving at a rapid/out of control speed, would be “Street racing”… maybe they were having a drift competition? ---

Considering the same basic story is on every site…I don’t think the fact that it was on MMAweekly means anything. ---

> [@Johnnylude"](#): > > Jeffrey David Kirby – is being held on suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter. This is so stupid. The way I see it, if you enter into a street race, however illegal, you take responsibility for your own safety. Unless the other car forced him off the road, I can’t agree with charging him criminally. See: Commonwealth v. Root (intervening cause) ---

I’m wondering how many asshats will be wearing Tapout shirts at the bars this weekend in “honor” of his death.
