The Families of Two Men Want You to Watch Them Die in a Car Crash (VIdeo)

TheDailyBeast.com:

The families of two men, killed while speeding in the U.K., want the video of their final moments shown as a warning to other would-be reckless drivers.

 

Kat Owen wants people to watch the shocking, fast, and furious last few minutes of her son Michael’s life, for the simple reason that if it “stops one person from making the same mistake, then some good has come from showing this video. I'm hoping it will have an impact on young people and make them see that a bit of fun can have such devastating consequences.”

Michael, 21, and his friend Kyle Careford, 20, died instantly when the car that Careford (unlicensed and uninsured) was driving smashed and overturned at high speed, into the wall of a church in the U.K. town of Crowborough, East Sussex, on April 12 this year.

The two men, from Tunbridge Wells, had taken a cocktail of prescribed and illegal drugs, with Owen filming their careening progress down the country roads right up until the moment of the crash and their deaths.

The video was retrieved from Owen’s phone the next day.

The two-and-a-half minute video was released by Sussex Police with “the knowledge and support of the victims’ families." A warning states that viewers may find it distressing to watch.
