Life Imitating 'Art' Has Its Consequences

I confess; I was unfamiliar with the term 'drifting'. Here are some examples. Can't imagine most of you will want to view the entire video.



Link to October 28 Philadelphia Inquirer article, "‘Drifting’ kills woman, 81; boy charged".

Excerpt: The boy lost control of his 2000 Volkswagen Passat, which struck Zita Egitto. Egitto, 81, was walking on the sidewalk on Reed Street on her way to meet a friend, Ferman said.

The car struck Egitto was such force that she was catapulted onto the porch of a home. She died of multiple injuries Oct. 15 at Abington Memorial Hospital, said First Asst. District Attorney Kevin R. Steele

Ferman described Egitto as "a picture of wonderful health" who volunteered at the public library and stayed active well into her latter years.

"This woman was simply walking down the street and was run over by a car that lost control," Ferman said.
