I agree with this. And if I had that car as a 17 year old I most likely would have wrecked it at some point for this exact reason.

No you made a statement that he “likely” accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brake.

What is "too much power"?how do you know he is "relatively inexperienced"? Are you his father or something?

Yeah dude you're a real rarity and treasure here in SE LA.

[quote]Believe what you want to believe. It really doesn't matter and doesn't change the fact that Hurley only hurt himself and we still don't know his short or long term condition. It's sad that so many want to pile on this guy at his lowest moments without knowing the full truth.
No one who matters is piling on the guy. He doesn't need you(whoever you think you are) to white knight for him.

Maybe he wasn't impaired, and we all hope that's the case, but it's not a stretch for reasonable people to immediate think DUI.

He wouldn't be stoned after the crash so it would be pretty easy to tell if he was stoned during or before the crash

People are basing those off of pictures of him at a bar that night wearing the same hoodie that he posted on his Instagram story earlier in the day, along with a bartender saying that he was watching him take shots. You are basing your speculation on the fact that you have driven a car in the rain before...

I'll agree to disagree on this.

No one asked or cares what your experience is compared to his. There are plenty of 30 year old who have no business on the road.

Let the toxicology report come out first.

People get in car wrecks because of weed? I have smoked weed most of my life. I take a puff most days. I’ve never gotten a traffic citation because of it and I do t know anyone that has been in a wreck because of it. The kid is 17 and a qb at LSU and y’all are honestly acting like he wasn’t impaired at 3 am. Hilarious. Probably drunk. If people are somehow offended at the notion of a 17 year old likely being drunk behibd the wheel during an accident it’s their problem to deal with those fragile feelings. Not anyone else’s.

we're just putting the pics and videos together of him at murphys bar on west chimes with a 2:45am single car wreck, hitting a tree. murphys bar is like a half mile from where the wreck occurred.
at some point you have to just admit it doesn't look good and he was very likely intoxicated.

You're the one that seems hostile at even the suggestion that your vast 16 years driving experience is not the be-all end-all of this matter.
As a QB he a absolutely has the skills to drive probably better than anyone on this board, including you the evident Jeff Gordon reincarnation.

It'll come out. I'm just saying that's a lot better reasoning than "I've driven a car in the rain before so I know what likely happened"
