Another one of teens thrown from the Mitsubishi fled the scene on foot. Ricardo Melendez, 16, from Thornton was later found being treated at Denver Health Medical Center for unknown injuries. I cant beleive that douchebag did that. :mad: ---

no seatbelts…BRILLIANT :rolleyes: > Investigators said no one in the Mitsubishi was wearing a seatbelt. The body of the 17-year-old, who has been identified as Alejandro Melendez, came to rest in the left lane of I-25 and was run over a short time later by a second vehicle. Investigators have determined that some of the people in the second vehicle are related to Melendez. Investigators aren’t sure whether Melendez was killed when he hit the pavement or when he was struck by the second vehicle. tell me the last thing going thru that kids mind before the 2nd car ran his head over on the highway was “shit i wish i would have buckled up” ---

because my “tsi” will have already finished, come back the return line, got my slip, ate a hotdog, b/sd with pewter a bit, peed on georges car, installed a new turbo for jackie, watched her run a 13 finally, ate another hotdog, read the new issue of hot rod all before your geo would even hit 100 on the highway.
