Man Dies After Racing Car With Brother In Garden Grove

View Comments

GARDEN GROVE (AP) — Authorities say a man died after losing control of his car while racing with his brother on the streets of Orange County.

Garden Grove police say in a statement that the 21-year-old driver was driving one of two cars speeding together Sunday when his car rolled, then slammed into a light pole.

The man was trapped in the vehicle, pulled out by paramedics and later declared dead at a hospital. The Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department says the brother killed was Caesar Michel of Garden Grove.

His brother, who was the driving the other car, remained at the scene and gave police a statement. His name has not been released.

The statement says alcohol does not appear to have been involved in the crash.

    so, who won?
    kids (and obviously, adults) can be so foolish. was it worth it?
    usually, in this situation, the driver of the car that didn’t crash is arrested for vehicular manslaughter for contributing to the accident and death. surely they aren’t going to do that here, the parents would lose both sons. besides, i think he’s already received his sentence and will be reminded of it every time someone in his family looks at him.
    idiots. how many other innocent drivers were in danger of being the light pole and didn’t even know it?

  • SPEED CONTEST vc23109

    Living brother should be charge with Speed Contest vc23109. Have his vehicle impounded by a mandated law in effect for 30 days, 1 year DL suspension, & Jail time, court fees & fines.

    JAIL TIME KID!

      Thank You S.I. gmon…. g for (GAY)!!!! Is an Idiot sure his Mommy like’s Chorizo in the rear

  • SoOverDumbPeople

    the survivng brother should never be allowed to drive again. ever. and he should devote the next few years of his life to speaking to other young latinos (street racing seems to be rooted firmly in latino culture these days) about this pointless past time. he’d prove to them that street racing never has positive results, there are no prizes or trophies, and that even the winners ultimately lose. he should WANT to do it, not be forced to by the courts. it is the only way anything good could ever possibly arise from this tragedy and the surviving brother owes it to society, his parents, and himself…but really to his dead brother, to contribute something good to the world to fill the void where his brother once was.

      @So Over Dumb People….. Mexican Racing? Oh come on Donkeys are not that fast!!!!

  • EXIHITION OF SPEED – SPEED CONTEST

    Should have the PINK SLIP SEIZED, 1 year DL suspension, & jail time. CA passed a new law that Racers will lose their Car & PINK SLIP seized even if the car(s) have Leinholder(s) on their title.

    Same year same law in effect for illegal dumping & solicitating prostitutes. ALL 3 of these crimes results in Loss of Vehicle & PINK SLIP. Jail time, fines, fees, DL suspensions, etc..

    Stupid White Trash ruining America!!

    • So what!!

      Well said!!!

  • JAIL TIME JAIL TIME JAIL TIME JAIL TIME JAIL TIME JAIL TIME

    I hope Law Enforcement families sees this and reported it to the cops & detectives at the scene to recommend JAIL TIME to the DAs office.

    RACING IS PROHIBITED, there’s a law against street racing or any non-sponsored, non-sanctioned, unauthorized street racing.

  • El Burrito
