So, an Acura crashes in to a Honda...

Four people killed in crash after car runs red light - CBS News 8 - San Diego, CA News Station - KFMB Channel 8

CHULA VISTA (CBS 8/CNS) - A driver in a speeding Acura ran a red light early Sunday morning near Chula Vista and crashed into a van, killing four people inside his car and critically injuring another person.

The crash happened at around 2 a.m. near Industrial Boulevard and Main Street, according to Sgt. Ray Battrick of the San Diego Police Department.

Police say the Acura was speeding southbound on Industrial Boulevard when it ran a red light at Main Street and crashed into a westbound Honda Odyssey van occupied by five people. The Acura careened off the van and crashed into a traffic light pole, sheering the Acura in half.

Three people in the Acura were ejected from the vehicle and later died at a local hospital. One other person in the Acura was killed and another person suffered critical injuries.

Two people in the van were inured.

It was not immediately known whether drugs or alcohol played a factor in the crash. There is no other immediate information at this time.

What's that saying about it isn't speed that kills you, it's suddenly stopping...

It's sad to see unnecessary deaths but am glad the innocent folks in the Ody are seemingly okay.

I've always hear the saying as "it's not the gravity that kills, it's the sudden deceleration."

Well, there are at least 3 in the Acura that were probably innocent folks too. Sucks, all around...as a reformed ahole teenage driver...I feel for these people. Pay the ultimate price.

Nothing good happens driving after midnight with 4-5 youngsters in a car, just get uber instead.

In a crash like this airbags are pointless, need a full roll cage, racing seats, racing harnesses, and helmets.
