Three teens die in El Dorado County crash

A single-car accident early Sunday in rural El Dorado County left three teenagers dead and sent the young driver to the hospital, authorities said.

The accident happened about 12:45 a.m. on Salmon Falls Road, a winding route notorious in recent years for a number of motorcycle crashes.

The California Highway Patrol said Sunday's accident involved a 2006 silver Subaru Impreza.

The car struck a large oak tree as the driver, heading northbound, lost control on a downhill curve, CHP Sgt. Todd Brown said.

Speed was suspected as a cause, Brown said. Investigators do not believe alcohol was involved, he added.

The victims were two young men and one young woman, the CHP officer said. Two of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene.

A third victim was airlifted to Sutter Roseville Medical Center and died at the hospital, he said.

The driver was also airlifted to the medical center, where he was treated and released, Brown said.

The car struck the tree on the right side, killing the passengers but sparing the driver from more serious injuries, he said.

Brown said he could not yet identify the driver, who is also a teenager. Charges may be pending, he said.

Sgt. James Byers, with the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office, said coroners were trying to identify the victims through fingerprints.

Teams of investigators had been working around the clock at the accident scene near Pond Hill Drive, he said.

Salmon Falls Road snakes from El Dorado Hills to Highway 49 in rural Pilot Hill. Dozens of motorcycle and car crashes, some of them deadly, have been recorded in the past decade.

One neighbor who spoke to The Bee said the tree that the car struck Sunday had been hit before. The neighbor said residents are fearful of exiting their driveways because of speeding motorcyclists.

I thought I would post this up. I believe the driver in question is a member here as well as one of the passengers that was killed.

Tragic, 3 dead because some kid couldn't take it to the track. Such a sad way to go. RIP.

simmode1 · 11-29-2009, 08:30 PM

Whoa... That's terrible. I handle emergency calls for BMW's involved in accidents and other situations. Once, I got a call from a BMW X5 that was in a head on collision with a Lotus Elise that had been racing another car on a mountain pass at 8:30pm. The Elise was destroyed utterly. That completely solidified my disdain for street/mountain racing...

My condolences to the family, but all you guys, be careful out there...

negrosx13 · 11-29-2009, 08:47 PM

3 kids dead cause of rookie driver and stock suspension,it sad to say also might be fuck'd up but its the truth.

RIP to those guys

stock suspension doesn't mean shit.

Modified suspension just means you'll be going faster when you go over the limit.

SR_Vlurs · 11-29-2009, 09:01 PM

wow fucked up way to die not to mention fucked up age too

sunnys14 · 11-29-2009, 09:04 PM

2 of the people that died were my friends.

People make stupid mistakes and i'm sure the driver, which was also my friend, will regret it for the rest of his life.

Please don't talk smack...

RIP DirtyOldMan

*Jonnie Fraz* · 11-29-2009, 09:05 PM

As of right now the name of the driver is not confirmed, so I do not want to put him out on blast.
Reports say he was going above 90mph when he lost control and hit a tree passenger side first.

T. Man I am sorry! I just heard about this, but he should have known better.

sunnys14 · 11-29-2009, 09:12 PM

Young and reckless, we all were at one point.

Hearing about this just killed my entire day.

Yes he should have known better... but what can you do now?

Learn from it!

Again I did not know them well, but my sincere condolences go out to their families.

He posted only a few days before too, RIP DirtyOldMan

325irollin · 11-29-2009, 10:54 PM

It's amazing how people can't judge speed or understand if there car can handle well at certain speeds. You can feel if a car can handle a turn. Why push the limits

Daniel. · 11-29-2009, 10:55 PM

May they all rest in peace.

ayuaddict · 11-29-2009, 10:59 PM

oh man...

thats horrible.

HyperTek · 11-29-2009, 11:20 PM

sad to hear, that girl didnt deserve to die for riding with a wreckless driver. =(
Keep it off the streets, if you must do it, then go alone and dont bring your friends along to impress them.

exactly.
When you start doing life risking behavior, its not ok for you to make decisions about others lives.
Its not a fucking Initial D cartoon up there kids.
Its real life.

feel horrable for the kids mothers,fathers,brothers,sisters and family,.........right before christmas.

DirtyOldMan was just on here Friday too, so shitty. RIP.

DataXUnknown · 11-29-2009, 11:35 PM

My god this is so sad. I hate hearing about people who die like this. RIP to those killed in the accident. I've had friends die like this as well, please I hope people look at this and learn not to endanger passengers lives like that, or your own for that matter. Especially a girl, when driving with a girl, I don't know about you guys, but it's a whole different world; I try to be most gentleman-like and make every turn as smooth as possible as well as braking and accelerating. It's common chivalry that should be learned and comes with maturity of the driver.

*EDIT* ^Eric well said. 90mph around a corner with a full carload, seriously how the hell can anyone think they can make that?

And the guys who died did? Really though, it's a tragedy in so many ways, I think it's a tragedy that the driver has to live with this.

I took that part out of my post and another sentence or two.
I decided it was a little harsh for friends and family of the people involved.
I didn't want to be disrespectful due to my anger and sadness at this news.

i posted a quote on his Profile page,

Say not in grief 'he is no more' but live in thankfulness that he was'

Team DET · 11-29-2009, 11:54 PM

May they all RIP

*brndck* · 11-30-2009, 12:07 AM

lets not try to make ourselves sound blame free.
every person on here has made a poor judgement call at one point in their lives.
lets instead use this as a reminder next time we are faced with making a risky decision.
the lives and safety of people we care and depend on may be on the line.

HyperTek · 11-30-2009, 12:16 AM

dont get me wrong, no one deserved to die. Just sad to hear a girl was riding with them and the passangers where the first to go, makes me believe the driver was showing off to impress them or to give them thrills. THey could have rooted him on etc.

Id be lying if i said i never wanted to have a lil fun, but i wont bring passengers with me that I could endanger.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 11-30-2009, 12:25 AM

Another reason why people should just keep it on the track.

RIP to the 3 who unfortunately lost their lives because of one persons stupidity.

Used to see DirtyOldMan post all the time too.

Really sad.
