Does this mean the solo occupant was a 16 year old/
Pretty complicated, isn’t it?
I mean, I’m reading the headline and it says “Antioch: 16-Year-Old Killed in Fatal Crash on James Donlon”. Then I read in the article, “…James Donlon Blvd with extensive damage and a solo occupant driver trapped inside”.
I’m thinking maybe the headline and that line down in the story are related?
I don’t know.
Yes the occupant was a 16 yr old boy who was the only person in the car and killed as well
Is it really that confusing?
The cause of the collision was SPEEDING! This happens on James Donlon A LOT! It’s almost the status quo on that road! I hope the tree survived!
You hope the tree survived!!! You have to to be kidding me!!! Someone just lost their child you are a very sad human being
That CHILD should have been taught NOT to speed in that area and at age 16 should have been home by 10 PM … Maybe that CHILD should not have even been driving!
YES! I too hope the tree survived!
Witch. That was someone’s child. And children do not always do what they are taught or what is wise. You are awful and hateful.
No bars bruh
SAD breaks my heat.
I guess making a joke about the death of a 16 y/o is the norm. I wonder why this child was even driving? The has to be some trouble in the home and I hope that the family finds peace. Can we remember when we were 16? So sad to hear that a life was lost that young in such a preventable accident.
Yeah I remember when I was 16 I graduated high school 2 years early and was working full time so sorry there are very responsible 16 year olds I don’t know what happened but I would guess speed played a factor that and an inexperienced driver
Speeding is a choice one makes! It’s not an “accident.” When I was 16, some 20 year ago, we were not allowed to drive. We took public transportation or our parents drive us. At age 18, we were allowed to drive but only reluctantly. Our parents were very strict about instilling safe driving habits in all of us. The vehicle was considered a dangerous instrument one had to respect.
The James Donlon road is one area where a lot of people were witnessed driving irresponsibly. This was not the first fatality there and a few months there was another crash involving teenagers.
Yes speed is a personal decision, and so is being an asshole. Wouldn’t it be funny if your child wrecked their car into a tree? I pray that this doesn’t happen happen to you. However, if you do lose a loved one from a irresponsible act you can always look back on how you responded to someone else’s tragedy.
Well then, Dana Roach! It won’t happen to our kid because he was properly trained and at age 16, with a provisional license, he is not allowed to drive alone but must have an adult with him. That’s the CA law pertaining to juvenile drivers.
So, you should not worry about our kid . . that’s another problem off your back.
u a straight bitch if ur gonna disrespect someone’s family saying “i hope the tree survived” acting like if that was someone u knew u wouldn’t be sad saying sum dumb shit like that
Let me try this in my best EBONICS, eushd! Ay hoppez dat da treee iz OK an da igjyd kid dint killz it wid hiz kar! Omletten’ it go 4 now cuz da kid iz gonne! Ay dizrespectz da famly cuz dey shood hav taut da kid how 2 drivez beter!
using the work “ebonics” u know ur a old hag when u use that dumb ass word.
I say sum dum shit” all da time!
The tree seemed to be in fairly good shape. It does have burns now since mourners left a burning candle at its base and you know the rest… Dan has a point, at 16 y/o, at least a few years back, it was a provisional license and the the driver needed a licensed adult river a certain age in the car. When did that law go away? Horrible accident, prayers for family and friends, but please learn from this.
I never understood why these people leave candles, teddy bears and all sorts of debris where a death has occurred. Who brought that here? I’ve never seen it until within the last 10 years.
Yes! We know that someone irresponsible was driving and crashed into a tree, which managed to survive. I’d like to see a sign saying, “See what speed will result in!” and that’s it.
RIP young man. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. A tragedy.
A tragedy he brought on himself! I hope someone learns from this!
Nobody will learn from it because it keeps happening over and over and over again and again and again…
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I SEND MY CONDOLENCES TO THE YOUNG GUY’S FAMILY??..NOW LETS GET TO ALL YOU TROLLS WHO BROWSE NEWS ARTICLES JUST TO LEAVE RUDE DISRESPECTFUL COMMENTS,JUST TO MAKE THEMSELVES FEEL BETTER.I HAVE ONE WORD FOR YOU PEOPLE.FUCK YOU!!!!!!!???
