    To quote a British traffic cop: "There is no cure for being 17 - except, if you are very lucky, making it to 18".

    How sad. We all make dumb mistakes when we're young...but it's terrible when those mistakes lead to loss of life. Their poor families. :(

    Sad but all the safety features in the world won't protect stupid.

    All kids underage drinking = future wrongful death lawsuits will be filed.

    There but for fate... At that age there is no thought to the alternatives.

    Yes, this is a horrible thing to be sure. This happens all too often and certainly more times than I would wish to ever see again... Prayers to the families and the survivor.

    A very sad waste of 2 young lives. I can't imagine the agony their families are going through.

    I know this intersection well. If he blew through the stop sign at speed they were doomed.
    Nasty hump. I feel for the families.
