Deadly Driving
From Pulse24:It appears to be a tragic case of life imitating art – or in this case, a video game.
A cab driver is dead following a horrifying accident that’s believed to have been caused by a street race. Police say the taxi was driving south on Mt. Pleasant Rd., near St. Clair Ave., waiting to make a left turn at about 10:30pm Tuesday. Meanwhile, two Mercedes-Benzes were travelling north, and investigators have suggested they were speeding.One of the cars reportedly then collided with the cab at the intersection of Mt. Pleasant and Whitehall Rd., sending it hurtling into a steel pole. The vehicle was crushed, and the 46-year-old driver, Tahir Khan, was trapped inside. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The car that hit the cab was damaged, while the second car apparently fled the scene. The two 18-year-old drivers were rounded up and arrested, however. One of them was injured, but not seriously. Alexander Ryazanov has been charged with criminal negligence causing death. Wang−Piao Dumani Ross is facing a similar charge, along with allegations he failed to stop after the accident.
The street racing video game Need For Speed was apparently found in one of the luxury cars, which belonged to the teens’ parents.
