Riverside Drive Crash Two Dead
I saw a thread earlier about the conversation of driver training and abnning high performance cars to young drivers..........
Any car can do any speeds with the right dick behind the wheel thinking he/she is invincible.....and then something like this goes and happens........i can't even imagine the speeds these two were doing to end up shearing a car in half the way it did.....like WOW :O

Two close friends are dead after their Holden Commodore smashed into a palm tree, splitting in two and bursting into flames in Perth early this morning.
Shaun Payne, 19 from Northam and Tom Dymond, 20, from nearby Muresk were killed when the VE Commodore collided with the tree on Riverside Drive in Perth's CBD about 1am.
Police said the driver was incinerated in his seat while the passenger was thrown from the car in the collision and died at the scene.

Parts of the vehicle and debris from side the car were found up to 100 metres from the crash site after the Commodore was torn in half.
Acting Sergeant Allan Mawdesley told the ABC he had no doubt high speed was a factor in the crash, which occurred in a 60km/h zone.

"We need to look at a number of things, obviously speed is a factor, whether alcohol may have been a factor in this crash," he said.
"It's a tragedy this close to Christmas."
