RIP Uncle Miguel.. Devoted Father And Husband.. Two carjacking suspects were in custody Wednesday after the vehicle in which they were fleeing from deputies crashed into a pickup truck in South Los Angeles, killing the man who was driving it, authorities said. Paramedics sent to Century Boulevard west of Vermont Avenue shortly before 7 am pronounced a man dead at the scene, d’Lisa Davies of the Los Angeles Fire Department said. Miguel Castro Falcon, 46, of Los Angeles, died in the accident, said Capt. Ed Winter of the coroner’s office. The vehicle, a Toyota Camry, that crashed into the truck had been carjacked at gunpoint shortly before 5 am, Deputy Johnie Jones of the Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau said. Deputies saw it about 7 am and started chasing it, but backed off when they were told it was just a stolen vehicle, Jones said. It then crashed into the pickup truck. The passenger in the Camry was arrested at the scene after getting into one of several other vehicles that were involved in the collision and trying to pass himself off as a victim, deputies said. The driver fled but was caught about 90 minutes later, Jones said. Both suspects were 16 years old, Los Angeles police said. “I felt that they left him in the car too long,” Charles Rhodes, who said Falcon’s sons were in his karate class. “He (sat) there and suffered for about 10 minutes before he died. And that’s unfortunate, that a police pursuit went bad.” The watch commander called off the chase “figuring that

After slushy snow re-froze on this expressway in Porto San Giorgio, Ascoli Piceno, Italy, it created an ultra-slick driving surface. Cars would exit the tunnel at high speed and be immediately confronted by a blinding snow storm, frozen pavement, and a highway bending left, making it even harder to stay in control and see in front of you. The result was a multi-car pile-up that was captured by an unmanned traffic camera that went on for nearly 4 minutes before victims managed to go inside of the tunnel and flag motorists to slow down.

    How do the people in the tunnel not see the mass of brake lights and think “maby i should slow down or stop?” but no, they continue to come out of there going at like 30+. lol the speed of some thinkers just staggers me.

    Well some of those people standing there should go somewhere around tunnel and wave to the cars to slow down or stop. Easy to say but i would do it! Correct me if I am wrong.

    Hey, don’t be so sure. I live in Colorado, and we have the Eisenhower tunnel going under Loveland Pass. Even though it is only a little over a mile long, on more than half of the trips I take there, it is perfectly calm and sunny on one side and snowing on the other.

    I would’ve thought people would realise that if it’s snowing and icy when you go into a tunnel, it’s going to be snowy and icy when you come out…

    Unless the tunnel is 100kms long or something…

    People are so stupid driving that fast in the snow. Whats funny is every time is snows. I see more 4WD vehicles crashed more than any other two wheel cars. I have a 4WD and just because you can not get stuck or spin out as easy dose not mean you can stop easyer also. Slow down in snow you dumb shits.

    In the Spring of 1972 I hitchhiked from Naples to Brindisi over the mountain road from Reggio Calabria to Cosenza and Trebisacce. After many instances of speeding through villages, passing on curves and near misses with trucks, tractors and high cliffs I realized at the age of 27 that I was immortal and was never going to die!

    I used to go to uni with an Italian American girl and she drove like a nutter. Using her bumper to nudge cars out of the way and going 60mph everywhere.

    Ever been to Italy? I have. So many of the cars are walking wounded, not many have a straight panel on them because they have so many small accidents.

    I’m Italian. Italians are careful people. but when it comes to driving….they are the most fucked up drivers in the world! I mean, Italians don’t deserve a drivers license for many reasons.
