Ramona Cuda rollover dui news update

11.14 Barracuda, crash, Cuda, hemi, wreck No comments

It was a real Hemi Cuda, a 1970 Hemi Cuda, the thread over at Moparts says it had a square tube rollcage. http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=6924721

It's totalled. My previous post http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/11/cuda-rolls-in-high-speed-dui-down.html

The back seat passenger, according to the CHP, was 52-year-old Mark Andrew Jones of Ramona... not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash and was ejected from the car, through the back window, and the car rolled over him and then rolled off him before stopping upside down.

Guess what none of the newspapers and tv news people have not mentioned... what led to the crash of Harold Green's Hemi Cuda at about 3:20 pm. Sunday Nov 13th http://www.10news.com/news/29760960/detail.html

Drinking (from about 10 am to about 3pm) at the nearby Turkey Inn on Main and 7th ave (maybe watching a football game Broncos/Chiefs, Redskins/Dolphins, Cardinals/Eagles, Houston/Tampa, Titans/Panthers all started at 10am Ramona time, 1pm Eastern Time http://www.hokiephotos.com/categoryevents/1/Page-8.html)

then after the game, a "Come check out my car!" So they went to Harold's and got the Hemi Cuda, and took off south on 7th and fishtailed at last 4 times before making the corner at Telford -7th - Ashley and then floored it again to head South on the straight Ashley road when he saw the girl unloading the horse from a trailer, swerved to avoid the girl and horse and rolled the car long, far, and high, hitting branches from the tree between Ashley rd and the Morgans half circle driveway at the bottom of the below Google Map

the people who own the property the car came to a roll over stop in... , Dennis and Linda Morgan, possibly are looking to blame the car, the road, and the speed limit, or are looking to waste the county supervisors time chasing these scapegoats instead of drinking and driving "Morgan also told 10News he hopes law enforcement and San Diego County Supervisor Dianne Jacob will now take a serious look at these roads to prevent future crashes like this one." the News 8 reporter states that Dennis wants the sped limit lowered from 45 to 35. I think the reporter misquotes the Morgans, but who knows... watch the video and decide for yourself on that... I can't nail it down there.
"Morgan said he hoped county supervisors would take steps to make the road safer and prevent future accidents like this one."

luxury sports car enthusiasts in Japan ended in an expensive freeway pileup - smashing a stunning eight Ferraris, a Lamborghini and two Mercedes.

Police say they believe the accident on the Chugoku Expressway in southwestern Japan, Sunday, was touched off when the driver of one of the Ferraris tried to change lanes and hit the median barrier. He spun across the freeway, and the other cars collided while trying to avoid hitting his car.

According to The Associated Press, 10 of the people involved in the wreck received treatment for minor injuries.

News reports quoted eyewitnesses as saying that at the time of the accident, the procession appeared to be traveling at 85 to 100 miles per hour, well over the speed limit of 60.

Bloomberg News quoted a traffic official, Mitsuyoshi Isejima, as saying that the driver suspected of causing the pileup, a 60-year-old self-employed man, could face up to three months in prison or a fine of 100,000 yen, about $1,300.

Somewhere an insurance rep is cringing.

Thanks Ken!
