May 8, 2006 -- Two young men died in Brooklyn early yesterday when their car spun out of control and hit several parked vehicles before smashing full force into a lamppost - a collision that ripped the Honda Accord in two, police said.
Tesfa Smith, 20, of Brooklyn and Jalani Griffiths, 22, of upstate Herkimer were killed in the 1:55 a.m. accident at Nostrand Avenue and Maple Street in East Flatbush.

The impact ejected Smith from the front seat. Griffiths was pinned in place by his seat belt. Both were pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital. Smith had been celebrating a birthday party at a friend's house, said his sister, Porsha Jones. "He would take his shirt off and give it to you if he thought you needed it," she said.

Griffiths was in the process of moving back to Brooklyn to pursue a career as an X-ray technician, relatives said.

"He had a very quiet demeanor, but he was very intelligent," his mother, Jessie, said.

Was that someone that someone here knows, or is it because it is/was a CB7?

Regardless, if people weren't out screwing around, this sort of stuff wouldn't happen.

1. I would bet $1000 he was drunk

2. I wonder if she could define "very intelligent" for us.

This is one of those instances when not even a roll cage will save you. I highly doubt even a roll cage would've stood up to a car splitting in half... and just cuz you have one doesnt mean you should do something so utterly reckless

I dono really, I've seen unibody cars take alot of damage with a rollcage and the driver walk away. But he was driving like a jackass so it was only a mater of time, and it ran out.
