I am truly sorry for the passengers. Lost life because of teenage perceived hardship is tragic.

From a different perspective, it seems incredibly impressive that anyone survived a deliberate head on collision with a brick wall (that appears to have barely buckled) at 100 MPH / 161 KMH.

Thanks for the Christianization of the speed units, God bless you

Survived and still standing on her feet...

Not just survived, but with everything intact. No missing limbs or massive head trauma. She's wildly lucky in that reguard.

Something tells me the judge will make her feel a bit less lucky within a few days.

I'd be surprised if she gets out within 20 years

Or wildly unlucky, depending on how one looks at it.

Lucky or a very impressive feat of engineering in modern cars? 😱
