Probably not the best idea to publicize his name on a public forum until his name is released by the police. His family may not know yet and this is probably not the best way to find out that kind of information. That being said.... So very sorry for the family's loss.

Considering his family did not know it was very rude to be posting it across the internet. & if you dont know what your talking about please dont tell story cause he wasn't trying to U turn and they weren't racing his tire blew, he lost control, and his car turned sideways.
