The Facts as we know them....

This post is from Scott's brother Mike on April 10, to put some of the facts straight.

"...or at least what we really know. An email went out a few weeks ago about everyone in NYC being on the same page as to the so-far known facts of Scott's accident. In relation to this I just talked to Heesok after reading today's Georgia Straight article and he (and Tom and Leif) feel that we should make the same effort here. I want to point out a couple of errors in that article and hopefully we get the agreed-upon information out there from here on.

1. The accident happened at approx. 3am Saturday Feb.16 (Apparently this was wrongly stated in John Mackie's first article in the Vancouver Sun.)

2. Nobody knows how fast the cars were travelling. (150 km/h is 94 mph; that's really fast - I've never heard that number before) All we know for sure is that the other car was going fast enough to completely disable/immobilize both vehicles. (More or less totalled.)

3. It is not an absolutely confirmed fact that the other car was stolen. It was reported stolen the next morning.

4. Right after the crash the other driver tried to re-start their car and having failed, all three youths jumped out and ran away on foot. (As described by witnesses.)

5. The police investigation is on-going. (These things move at their own pace)

This is not meant to be a criticism or complaint about anybody's work or efforts. Just a correction.

Thanks Mike. My apologies for any spread of inaccurate information. It was purely unintentional on my part. The truth is we have a friend and Mike has a brother who is still in Bellevue Hospital going on two months now. He has a long road ahead of him, and needs our help and prayers.
