    RIP to my neighbor and former Raiders linebacker Thomas Howard

    Yes I know that he was driving recklessly and killed an innocent man.

    My heart goes out to his wife, and his little daughter who I used to say hi to everyday throughout my teenage years.

    Also really chilling to see a car that I used to wash every so often in return for some BBQ or spare cash scattered all over the freeway like that.

    He was a great guy who made a stupid mistake that night.

    Idiot. Only sad thing is he killed an innocent person. Sorry. I work on that portion of 880 regularly. 100 mph...that roadway is bumpy, has blind curves and the lanes are 10' wide instead of the regular 12'. There's a reason it's 55mph there.....I'm ssooooo tired of idiots killing innocent
    People. F-him.

      I'm sorry but this was unnecessary. Yes he was stupid and made a poor mistake. But you have no place in saying f him. You don't know what was going on in his life that lead him to this... Yes his poor mistake also lead to the death of another person, which is truly the sad part about this story, but your comment was unnecessary and not needed.

            I never understood how someone can hit the BACK of another car. At least, with enough force to cause a crash like this. If I was flying up on someone, even if I misjudged when to brake, I would still be braking when I hit them and would continue to slow down, short or hitting them at 100.

            I mean, it obviously happens, just odd.

                because he was doing way more than 100. way.way.more. and judging braking distance to a truck that is doing 55mph is hard when you're not a pro driver I guess.

                  The BMW launched into the air and crossed the center median
                  i was imagining this happening before i clicked through to the article... i'm betting this took place right before the 980 splits off- there's a curve with a rapid elevation change there that i can imagine launching a 7-series if you're dumb enough to enter it at triple-digit speeds.

                  There's a reason it's 55mph there...
                  yeah, this. that's a section of the freeway where i actually obey the speed limit rather than doing the typical 5-15 over... i avoid it if at all possible.

                    I hope he knew what he has done and died a slow and painful death.
