This is why it's never a good idea to drive an off-road vehicle on the street.

guess it coulnt giddy up and go fast enough as he turned in front of a car. he should have stayed home that day.

My understanding was it was street legal and he drove it all the time around town. It also was stated elsewhere that he was no at fault. Initial newspaper reports are notoriously inaccurate and often based on hearsay. Regardless, it is a tragedy for his friends and family.

Why then would it be described in the Newspaper as "an off-road vehicle crash" ?

Who's right?

The Newspaper, with a reputation to maintain?

Or some guy on the internet?

How about some documentation to back up your claim.
