While street racing is a serious problem in some communities, an incident that occurred this past weekend really has us scratching our heads. Two Comcast employees were reportedly racing their company vans through the streets of Huntsville, Alabama when one driver lost control and slammed into a car carrying a grandmother and her two grandchildren.
The impact was so severe that the Comcast van actually flipped before landing on its wheels. Eyewitnesses say the vans were clearly racing each other, with speeds hitting at least 75 mph. The posted speed limit on the road where the incident occurred is 50 mph.
While the Comcast driver and two of the three passengers in the other vehicle emerged relatively unharmed, three-year-old Kayleen Smith is still unconscious at a local hospital. Doctors have removed Smith from life support, but are uncertain if she will ever regain consciousness.
Amazingly, no charges have been filed against the Comcast driver, but police are investigating the incident.
Comcast says it will cooperate with local authorities, but is keeping tight-lipped about the accident and the current status of the two employees.
