That's all very circumstantial there... alleged streetracing at an estimated 20k over the limit?? thats a LOL line right there,
also it says the old man was hit when he was making a turn, failure to check for traffic properly maybe? Another example of media making snap judgments and beating the goat.

Yeah I'm guessing the old man did not correctly judge the speeds of the cars. But, nonetheless, streetracing on that road is ridiculous or streetracing in most parts of the city is just dumb.
But wow, that 83 year old guy is a trooper lol. I'm suprised he didn't have a heart attack or anything.

I think it said 20Km/h over the limit (60), so it was an 80Km/h hit.
They were idiots, but it would have to be investigated to figure out what truly caused it. It's not always the guy speeding who's at fault...case in point, the couple that were killed when he made a turn in front of the cars, and was intox.

street racing accusations look better in the paper. They need something to support all the taxpayers money being wasted on court trials for the new "street-racing" law or so they call it.
