Deadly crash of a C5 in Houston
Not sure if this guy was a member but I saw this accident on 290 this morning, it was a red C5 with bad damage to the drivers side. He hit the wall and then was T-boned by a truck as he got out of the car.
His name was Joshua Kirkland.

This was in the Houston Chronicle's Web site.

Sheriff's officials at the scene tell the Chronicle that the driver of a red Corvette lost control about 4:15 a.m. Monday while westbound on U.S. 290, hit the wall and landed in a traffic lane. The driver got out, went to the left shoulder of the road, but returned to the wrecked car. At that point, authorities say, a pickup slammed into the Corvette.

Very sad! RIP.
I might just be getting older, however as a married man and father of two children, I've come to the slow realization that the odds of anything "good" happening to me between the hours of 12AM and 6AM are very little so my *** is home!
It was a different story when I was 25 so I feel for the grieving family!
