Kid trades in his Civic gets a Nissan 350Z and a few days later splits the car in two

I’m sure you’ve heard similar stories; 20-year-old trades his ’06 Honda Civic for a much more powerful and, most importantly, rear-wheel drive, Nissan 350Z on April 9 2007. Three days later, he, and his teen girlfriend were involved in a horrific accident where the 350Z was split into two pieces after the driver lost control and ended up hitting a tree. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below

According to police, the teen was allegedly street-racing with an unidentified BMW north on Kirby near San Felipe before he crashed his 350Z. "At some point, the Nissan lost control, left the roadway, striking two trees and pinning both occupants in the vehicle. The BMW left the scene." said Capt. Milton Martin of the Houston Police Department. Unfortunately, while the girl wasn't hurt seriously, the 20-year-old driver was taken to the hospital with serious head injuries. I can't help but feeling sorry for the guy even if it does appear that he did something totally immature. Links: My350Z & ABC13
