We can now go beyond our speculation. He was blitzed {.19+-over twice the legal limit}, going way-yyyy to fucking fast even if stone sober and had a bad driving record as long as John Holmes dick. He was cited at least 23 times-at least 10 for speeding/reckless driving, was in a terrible 1995 accident, had a DUI in 2005 and also was known to drive on a suspended license. We don't say this to take a giant shit on the guy's legacy, but to warn others. Fame doesn't make you immune when you flirt with the devil. Odds are odds, and when you roll the dice across the craps table of life with too much disregard, sometimes you will crap out....permanently. The passenger was, in fact, one of the trio drinking in the TMZ photo we circulated after the crash-last name Hartwell.May the survivors within his circle find peace, and maybe some insight, after this tragedy. We can only say the good news is that the out of control projectile did not strike a car full of otherwise innocent people. It is also likely that at that speed, the blunt force trauma killed them instantly, or at least knocked them out, before the flames finished the job. The AP photo above shows the tricky-ish merge area, but note the harsh skid marks. They were moving, knew they were over-shooting their exit ramp and knew a moment or so before impact that things were about to go very bad. If there would have been a 'cockpit' voice recorder, we are certain the last words would have been 'Oh, fuck!!" The link below contains video clips of Bam Margera upon returning from Phoenix to the crash site, and just an absolutely heartbreaking clip of Bam's mother, April, from just hours after learning of the crash.
