Elgin CC Super Story Update
« on: July 15, 2003, 08:46:09 AM »
It's been quite a while since the death of the Elgin CC super at the hands of the young-druken driver.  What has happened to the young man since then?  Has the case gone to trial?  Was he punished in any way?

I remember there being some discussion that this kid came from a wealthy family and that he would get of scott-free.

Anyone have any follow-up information?

I too would be interested to hear what happened here.  I was fortunate to play Elgin for the first time just shortly after this tragedy occurred and was wondering the same things.  My thoughts and prayers extend to his family.
