Kristin Norris, 22-years oldof Burbank, was driving the 2007 two seat Chevrolet Corvette that was carrying four people: Danielle Wolf, 22, of Carlsbad; Jorge Nunez Jr., 28, of Sylmar; and Jossue Colato, 23, of Pacoima. Clearly, the Corvette was over-occupied.

Norris was speeding just after midnight on Thursday, May 6, 2010, as she headed east on a flat, wide, S-curve on Roscoe Boulevard between Balboa Place and Hayvenhurst Avenue when she lost control. The yellow sports car crossed a set of railroad tracks, slammed into a guardrail, utility pole, and streetlight before rolling and skidding to a stop hundreds of feet away killing all 4 people crammed inside.

Norris's body remained pinned in the driver's seat of the overturned car while the other three were mercilessly dismembered by the force of the crash and ejected over an accident scene that encompassed nearly a half-mile. Things would not have been so horrific if all wore seat belts and the Corvette not occupied by too many passengers. But the car is designed to hold only two and therefore they are believed not to be wearing seatbelts.

It is rightly said, speed thrills but kills. These four deceased people will never know how hurt and disheartened their family members will be when they hear of this tragic accident. We offer our sincere condolences to the families of all four.
