bad accident at illegal street races in fresno

hey guys, im sorry to tell u guys bout this, but early easter morning at about 2am, i was involved in an accident that killed 2 maybe more ppl at street races in fresno, cali at lincoln and cornilla.. WE WERE NOT RACING.. (POS mazda w/ 5 ppl goin the opposite direction ppl were racing).. there were about 200+ cars and 500+ ppl.. they were lined up parked along both sides of the road for about a 1/4 mi.. we were doin about 40 mph (i looked at the speedo so i do know that for a fact).. came to were the races were starting, went thru a cloud of smoke (probably from a burnout).. about 10ft after the smoke, there was a car stopped in the northbound lane and 5-6 ppl standing in the southbound lane.. we hit the ppl standing in the southbound lane and a parked car.. all i remember is hitting the first person, watching him fly over the car.. the hitting the second person.. me hitting the winshield (i was wearing a seatbelt, but it failed).. looking at the otehr person on the other side of the winshield (thats probably the only thing that stopped me from goin thru the winshield)..

there was 1 person dead the the scene (14 yo male).. a 18 yo male died at the hospital upon arrival.. ive head the the 19 yo brother of the 14 yo died monday in the hospital..

im not too bady hurt.. my left arm or scratched up really bad.. my lip is a big scar, i got a gash on my head, and i brused my ribs..

i hope everyone reads this and STOPS RACING ON THE STREET!!! its not only illegal but its very dangerous

the driver of the car, was arrested 5 counts now i beleve.. 1) dui (he was .09 - 2 beers 3 hrs before the accident).. 2) reckless driving or reckless engerment (im not really sure on the one.. i know it will be dropped tho).. 3-5) 3 counts of vehicular manslaughter.. 3 ppl died.. 14 yo at the scene, 18 upon arrival to the hospital.. 14yo older brother a couple days later at the hospital.. from my understanding, there are still like 3-4 ppl in crit condition at the hospital..

u cant really believe too much from the paper on this.. according to the paper im in critical conditional at the hospital, wich i never was..

I realize that he was a .09 and that is not good but it seems messed up that he will be getting manslaughter when the fools he hit were the ones in the middle of the street and illegally racing on the street.....

his arraignment hearing was today, bail is at $677,000 (close to, if not the highest bail for a manslaughter case in cali history) now and his blood aclochol was .089-.091 (.09 being offically drunk).. they still dont have the official blood alcohol level from the blood test tho, and thets the only result thats addmissible in court..
