Just found this article to go along with video.

A woman was killed and her daughter injured Friday morning when the Nissan Sentra they were in was struck by a car that witnesses said appeared to be racing another vehicle on Edgewood Avenue North, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.

Lt. Rich Buoye with the JSO Traffic Homicide Unit said witnesses told police that around 11:30 a.m. a silver Dodge Charger was racing another car north down Edgewood Avenue when it struck the Sentra, which was turning either off or onto Glen Street.

The impact spun the Sentra and ejected the adult woman passenger. She died at the scene. The Charger flipped violently down the street, rolling over a car parked in a nearby strip mall before ending up in bushes lining the roadway.

“All we heard was a loud like ‘errrr’ and just heard a smack and we came running seeing a car flipping,” a witness said. “You could tell it was two muscle cars. So it had to be. They were definitely going fast.”

The other racing vehicle, possibly a dark-colored Dodge Charger or Challenger, left the scene, he said. Police will be checking any surveillance video from surrounding businesses to help track down that vehicle, he said.

“This is completely preventable. Racing up Edgewood? I said before in a situation like this with these young kids, you get to the point where (they think) they’re indestructible, nothing’s going to happen to them.

Well, nothing happened to them. But something happened to this innocent woman who was just driving in a car and now someone’s mother, someone’s daughter has passed away,” he said. “Let’s keep her and her family in our thoughts, in our prayers, but we can do better than this.”

He said the driver of the Sentra and the driver and a passenger from the Charger were all taken to the hospital. One had serious injuries, firefighters said. It appeared no one in the Sentra was wearing a seat belt.

The sister of the Sentra driver identified her as 17-year-old C. D. and said the woman who died was their mother, P. S, 48.

The death was the 126th on Jacksonville roadways this year.

Ledger, THANKS for posting the article! Background info is always helpful!

Seems like from the article, that the black car in the beginning of the video is the sentea driven by a 17yo girl with her mother as the passenger. The body next to it at the beginning of the video is likely the dead mother.

The silver car is a dodge charger driven by the black guy you see laying in front of it being tended to by everybody. He was racing another car before this happened. He survived.

Meanwhile, that girl that's moving around? Seems to be the 17 year old girl who survived. You can hear her moaning throughout the whole video. She seems to have massive facial damage from sliding that distance, and likely multiple broken bones, and looking at the video, I doubt she has much of a face left. Probably blind as well.

The thing I hate the most about this is the callous way they disregard her, not even offering comfort in this situation. I dont mean move her around, just go talk to her or fucking something, Jesus christ.
