Very sad story. I hate to see a white S Class meet such a tragic end.
Stay safe out there my friends.

It was a white S class. Those are few and far between.

I was also wondering if the driver was the poster on here with the handle jobs2ceo.

Nope. Jobs had a 2007 and was not from NY. And white S550's are quite plentiful.

I wonder if one of the bodies was truly found in the back seat if he was not wearing a belt and was just tossed there from the front seat. Two guys usually ride shotgun...

but it this is the most dangerous kind of accident- the car gets tossed against a solid object doors first. There is very little there to protect the occupants...

The car was actually in the tree. Most likely that person was put in the back from the impact.
