Oakton crash

[Anonymous]

It’s so sad/weird knowing that tonight SO many families near me are forever changed and processing an entirely new reality. The ones who lost children. The ones whose children are in hospital still. The ones whose child drove the car. The ones whose children were passengers. The ones nearby who witnessed. The friends of those killed. It’s just so exponential. So heartbreaking.

Resident Ashu Pradhan said he heard a crash the crash and looked outside. He saw the BMW stopped outside his house and then saw the girls lying on the ground down the street.

“One lady was performing CPR on the kid. Yeah, she was not responding,” he said. “[…] The other two kids, they were lying there, but at least they had movements. I hope that they made it.”

The young driver of the BMW and his passenger sat on Pradhan’s front lawn, he said. The driver spoke about being scared of his dad’s reaction to the crash, he said.

So he had just critically injured three people and all he could think about was what his dad was going to say? That's just sick.

This reckless teen driver had a BMW. The other reckless FCPS kid who killed the 62 year old woman drove an Audi. Stop letting kids drive these cars.

I cannot believe those poor kids doing nothing more than walking home from school are now dead.

It happened at 11:45 well before the rain.

and reports indicate the BMW was going near 100 mph. This was an idiot kid, with way too powerful of a car.

Some teen doing 100 mph in a BMW? I’m sorry he should be tried as an adult.

The kid is either 16 or 17, so he should be tired as an adult, but I’m pretty sure they will get away from it if his rich

I heard kid is senior and bought BMW with own down payment. Kid was working since 16 yrs old

So?

Yes. I keep having these thoughts too and it sickens me and has me so emotional. Lives lost and forever changed in seconds.

There will be an immediate rush to help the aggrieved; so much so that for the affected families, it will become overwhelming. Everyone will want to do something to help and so flowers and meals and notes will be left at their doors. Lookie-loos will do drive bys at the accident site and perhaps the families’ houses. Reporters will swoop in and do stand up reports or go door to door to get quotes and comments from neighbors. Then there will soon be piles of floral bouquets, candles and signs left at the intersection. The parents and siblings will do all they can to avoid that part of the road so they don’t have to see the growing roadside memorial. These are dark days where entire families are in shock. Those closest to the families may not be able to remember or recall their initial reactions or activities - they are also in a kind of hazy nightmare.

Been there and it’s traumatizing for all involved. Suddenly your neighborhood is in the news. Surreal. This runs deep and sorry for the overly long post.

Terrible, terrible tragedy. My heart mourns for all of the Oakton families involved tonight. Hug your own kids extra tight tonight.

I agree, a lot of people will be hurting for years. This is so, so sad.

I'm so sorry. I know this brings a lot of the trauma back from the past.

I am so sorry for what you've been through. Thank you for sharing. I can feel the empathy in your post, and it makes me want to cry for you and the families involved here and it kills me that I can't do anything to lessen the pain.

This kind if sad story is not a first in this area. It's heartbreaking for all involved, and anxiety provoking for any parent of a teen to hear. My local high school had a bad wreck incident. One passenger survived, but returned to school in a wheelchair. Please talk to your kids. Talk to your principal. Maybe a crash survivor somewhere can tell their story to your kids at a school assembly.

Unfortunately, the kid who will speed like that through a residential pedestrian zone will just ignore the crash victim speaking at the school assembly, because he doesn’t respect anyone.

Any car can do 100mph. Any car can be driven recklessly. It isn’t the car. It’s the driver.

It's the type of kid whose daddy buys him a BMW while he's in college. He'll probably plead affluenza like that kid in TX several years ago.
